Issac was a wonderful...

Issac was a wonderful guide. He was very informative, professional while being friendly. Great sense of humor. The tour gave us a great opportunity to learn more about the city and highlight areas we might like to visit during our stay. I would highly recommend booking a tour as first time visitors to Dallas.

Bittersweet experience!

Wonderful sites of the city and gave me a sense of how to start and where to go during my first stay in Dallas. We did not get out at every stop. Dallas Market was a nice break to eat, shop or use the facilities. The tour just was not what I expected or had in mind.
