Dan the man

A great experience with our guide for the day, Dan ! His passion , knowledge and friendliness was exceptional . We were picked up on time and Dan took the opportunity to set the scene for the day . Dans knowledge around the events of JFKs assassination was unmatched and although his views regarding the fateful day were apparent he was also willing to listen to alternative views . He didn’t only talk to us about the excursion he also recommended other activities for us to do throughout our stay . The time taken to the Southfork ranch was filled with interesting stories and tales from around Dallas including one about Dans mother being on a couple of episodes of Dallas . I would strongly recommend this trip but I’d also suggest you ask for Dan the man to be your guide !

William was very informative on the history of Dallas and the JFK assassination. Enjoyed stops at the Bronze Cattle Drive and Pioneer Plaza also. Really enjoyed visiting Southfork and getting background to the ranch and the Dallas TV Series.
