        Happy 40th in Dallas
        This was our first trip to the area. We were very happy with the process. I was skeptical about booking online, so I called and got to speak to Rebecca who was very helpful and informative. Great communication regarding tour day. Erin was our tour guide and was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Even suggested local bbq for dinner that was great. We will definitely use them again.

        Great Dallas Highlights Tour
        My work team took the Dallas Highlights Tour and it was great! The bus picked us up at the office and Erin was a fantastic guide! I really enjoyed learning more about Dallas, past and present. I would highly recommend a Discover Dallas Tour for a team building activity!

        Southfork with Discover Dallas Tours
        Southfork is just like it is in the tv show from the 1980s and I learned that it also has an exciting future following its recent sale. Watch this space. My guide on this tour, Rebecca, was amazing. She shared her knowledge, insights and took great photos for me. I could not recommend her tour more highly. Thank you, Rebecca!

        We really did enjoy our Fort Worth Day Tour and appreciated Erin’s explanation of the sights we saw and their history. Her knowledge meant we learnt about Texas. Loved it all, our favourites were the Texas Longhorn Cattle, Historic Stockyards District, lunch at H3 Ranch - the food and staff were fantastic, the building itself so cool - loved it, Cowtown Coliseum, Billy Bobs. From the time Erin picked us up at our hotel until the time she dropped us back the tour experience was great. Would recommend Discover Dallas Tours.

        The tour description says, “you will learn about Dallas’ history, art, architecture, JFK, professional sports, parks and more.” And we did! What a great way to see and learn all about Dallas with Erin as our guide we had a really enjoyable half day tour. We would recommend Discover Dallas Tours.

        Extraordinary Tour Experience
        We had the absolute pleasure of learning about Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding areas from our guide Erin. She was professional, punctual, funny, informative and has a true passion for Texas. Definitely the best way to experience an area that we had not been to before. Thanks again Erin, we’ll be in touch for our return to Fort Worth for a rodeo and to Billy Bob’s!

        Erin was awesome! Loved South Fork private tour and the Dallas tv show!!
        Erin was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. I have loved the Dallas tv show forever, and it was so much fun to go on a private tour of the ranch and mansion from the show. We just loved South Fork!!!

        Cowboys and LongHorns made the West!!
        The Fort Worth Tour was amazing. Our private tour guide Erin was beyond great. She was a delight to spend the day with. A stop at the Dallas Cowboys football stadium was an added bonus. The information Erin had was just phenomenal. The history of Texas was told as we made our way to Fort Worth. The Stockyards was not at all what I expected. Erin showed us the long horn cows, the arena where the rodeo’s are held and everything in between. The town was amazing. I definitely will go back on another trip to Texas. The driving of the long horns down Main Street was unexpected but something that is a must. The flavor of this town Stockyards has so much history. The smell in the shops of leather from the handmade cowboy boots and hats made you feel like you were a cowboy in the day…..and The John Wayne museum was the top hit for my husband. What a great tribute to ‘the Duke’. I highly recommend this tour. There is no way that we could have done this on our own and learned as much. A safe ride back to Dallas with a drop off at a local TexMex restaurant. Erin was a great tour guide!

        SouthFork Ranch
        What a fabulous day. Rebecca picked me up at Highland Village and was kind enough to drive me around, talk about the history and see many magnificent homes. We then made our way to SouthFork Ranch, and what a Ranch it is. I was a teenager when the show was on, but I do remember my Mum being glued to the TV and asking me to be quite as ‘Dallas’ was on. The grounds are beautiful and the home very grand and charming. Rebecca was a delightful tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Discover Dallas Tours.

        While in Dallas you have to visit the set of the Dallas program
        We visited the Dallas TV set which is not easy to get to you will need to rent a car and drive as it’s a good bit outside Dallas. We had a very interesting tour and received lot of information. There is also a souvenir shop on site. A must for anyone that watched the show.

        Top-notch Southfork Ranch Tour: Thanks to Discover Dallas Tours!
        Better late than never! I booked this fantastic tour with Discover Dallas Tours back in October, but this review is long overdue. My mom, who lives in France, came to visit me and my family in California for a few weeks. Before she flew back home, I wanted to create a special memory together. So, I surprised her with a weekend getaway to Dallas! We had a blast exploring the JFK Museum and the Fort Worth Stockyards, but the highlight of the trip was definitely our visit to Southfork Ranch. After researching several tour companies, I decided Discover Dallas Tours was the perfect fit. This family-run company stood out because Rebecca, the owner, personally called me after I inquired online. Even though the website didn't show availability, Rebecca was able to organize the perfect private tour of Southfork Ranch for us. She confirmed everything clearly via email and text message, including pick-up details and timings. Importantly, they are the only private tour company authorized by the owners of Southfork Ranch, making the experience even more special. The price was absolutely worth it. Erin, our guide (Rebecca's daughter), picked us up at our downtown hotel in a comfortable black SUV and drove us to the ranch. During the ride, Erin shared interesting facts about Dallas, the history of Texas, cowboys, the Fort Worth Stockyards and Longhorns. She even stopped at the Southfork Ranch gate for memorable photos before we arrived. Since my mom doesn't speak English, Erin found a comfortable and quiet spot for us to sit and provided detailed information about the ranch and the show. Erin was very patient, giving me plenty of time to translate everything for my mom. Her stories were captivating, and it brought back so many memories for both of us – we used to watch the show together every week back in France! The tour included a visit to the on-site museum at Southfork Ranch, where we saw photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, props used in the show, and the famous gun used in the episode "Who shot JR?". We also walked around the house, saw the swimming pool, and the table outside where the family had breakfast. For fans of the original series, it's interesting to know that the interiors you see on screen were actually sets, while the exteriors were filmed on location at the ranch! Erin explained why the interiors weren't filmed at the ranch (you'll need to take the tour to hear the full story). The second series and more recent ones used the ranch's interior for filming. Erin was fantastic throughout the tour - friendly, patient, and attentive. She even took some great pictures of my mom and me. It was a perfect day for us. Thank you to both Erin and Rebecca! Overall, this tour was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend Discover Dallas Tours to anyone visiting the Dallas area.

        Fantastic day out
        We had a fantastic day with Erin, she was friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had the best viewing spot for the cattle drive. Gave us loads of information about Texas and its history. Erin even made sure that we had a reservation for lunch which was a great help. Would definitely book with Erin and Rebecca again

      This is one of the best tours I’ve been on. It was a gift so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was great. We heard a lot of interesting facts throughout the whole drive down and back plus while in Waco. Erin is fantastic and if you’re looking to book a tour with this company, request her.

      It was also nice to be on a tour where you didn’t feel rushed to look at everything and take it all in. Erin makes sure you get some good photos that you can later share too.

      The experience was like spending time with a friend! When I go back to Dallas, I will have to see about booking another adventure!

      All I knew about the Silos was from watching Chip & Joanna on TV. What a fun time! Very family-oriented. Clean, hdcp accessible, pet-friendly, no smoking, clean bathrooms, plentiful shopping (pricey), and food trucks galore. We ate from the Grilled Cheese truck and had a Sweet Tea jar. It was great fun.

      This was a way bigger property venue than I thought. With lots of things to see and do there. So glad I got to go see it and made the trip to Waco, TX. It was crowded tho and we went on a weekday. It is very clean there and friendly staff as well. We did not go inside the bakery as the line was really long. Also the Magnolia Market was really busy in there as well so we just peeked our heads in to look. If you love Chip and Joanne Gaines you need to go see the Silos! Very pretty!

      Erin was my guide for the day and I was nervous about being on my own. It would be a long day if we didn't 'click'. I had no reason to worry. Erin, while professional and courteous was also warm, friendly and personable. Erin was my tour BFF by the end of the day.

      Erin is knowledgeable and shares her information like it's fresh and new. Erin was a great dining companion and shopping friend.

      I would do this trip again or another of their tours if/when I travel to Texas again.

      Thanks Erin for making my birthday gift exceptional. Come visit me when you make it to Australia

      We had a fantastic day with our guide Erin! We had private tour. She took such good care of us, and we got to see several of the fixer upper houses. I think our favorite part of the day was the food. We got to dine at Magnolia Table and grab a cupcake to go from the Silos Bakery. Shopping at the Silos was a blast and we got so many great photos while on the property. Erin gave us a lot of history about Dallas, Waco, and some great behind the scenes info about Fixer Upper. I highly recommend this tour and would definitely seek their services again while staying in Dallas.

      We had so much fun at the Silos!! I didn't realize there were so many little stores to explore along with the coffee shop and bakery. There are several things for kids to do which is a great idea! All the employees are so nice and work hard to make you feel welcome. I loved every minute of it!! Chip and Jo have really thought out everything there. A great time!!

      It was a fun experience, but there's not much to do in Waco. However, I got the Magnolia t-shirt, so I guess it was worth it. This is a great place to bring a picnic and hang out. Disappointed we didn't get to see any of the Gaines family. Also for note, we were not part of a tour group.
