Heather was very good and professional, she showed us and explained clearly the points of interest in Dallas, she got us to our next stop of Southfork Ranch in plenty of time for our time slot.
Simple enough if you have a short time in Dallas. I would of liked more time in Southfork Ranch if you were hooked on the series as much as me. Tour guide at Southfork Ranch very good. No fault of the tour guide to and from Dallas. Sadly it was raining when we went although no fault of the tour guide.
I was blown away by our Tour guide John, his Knowledge of JFK shooting in Dallas was very comprehensive, he had the best stories to tell on many other personal experiences whilst living in the United States..
The Southfork tour itself which is hosted by Southfork staff, was far from what a die hard fan of the show would hope for, the Ranch and the house are tired and unkept the whole experience shattered my memories of Dallas the TV show,you will learn nothing new about the show or the cast that you will already know as a fan, there are no photos that you haven’t already seen, and there are no clothes belonging to any of the cast, member’s , The first contact with a Southfork staff member who was called Michael was the rudest man I have ever encountered..
I would definitely go on other tours with Viator but definitely not Southfork.
My second time at Southfork Ranch. Even though yes it’s smaller than you expect, there’s a nice energy about the place. It’s definitely worth checking out. I just wish they hadn’t sold off 200 acres of the land as now you can’t do horseback riding there and having a housing development next door will make the ranch less special.
An excellent experience from start to finish, being collected early Orlando was very informative, excellent tour.
My wife and I are both handicapped. We were taken from the Ranch House to the Museum by tram with no transportation back.
Orlando our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We toured Dallas in a mini van before going to South Fork. The tour was great and we got time to wander round ourselves which we appreciated.
It was very informative, but a bit long ( Dallas history portion). I think it could have been shortened . I loved seeing Southfork and learning about it
Preston our guide was very knowledgable. Started with JFK memorial and the shooting spot, answered all our questions and more ,then over to pioneer plaza to see the bronze longhorn sculptures, past the giant eyeball and then over to Southfork ranch. Left for around 90 minutes, enough time to see the house and take plenty of pics
Travelled to Dallas especially to take this tour. Two hours before the start I received a call to say it was cancelled due to low bookings. Day ruined. Warning of possible cancellation should be given at time of booking. Refund received.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re proud to be the only company that guarantees tours even with just two guests. However, on very rare occasions when we don’t have the minimum number of participants, a tour may be cancelled. This policy is clearly explained at the time of reservation. Thank you for understanding.
Aug 27th - Isaac was a fantastic tour guide, so knowledgeable about the Dallas area and the history of the JFK shooting. Could not fault his hospitality. He was an excellent driver, consummate professional and really went out of his way for us, we felt very comfortable with him and had a good laugh too. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your business!
Very interesting if you’re a Dallas fan! The guide was very knowledgeable and we had a lot of time for pictures.
Welll worth the tour if you were a Dallas tv watcher, Dan was a great and very informative tour guide. Highly recommend the tour.
Very fun tour. Enjoyed the Dallas downtown part. Our guide Orlando was excellent. Very knowledgable and fun (excellent playlist!).
Great tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable & passionate about Kennedy. Definitely recommend!
Enjoyed the tour. The guide had good stories to tell. Preston our guide that drove was very intresting.
A knowledgable and informative guide showing you around the hightlights of Dallas and out to Southfork
You are met at the JFK memorial and taken to the hightlight of Dallas with informative backgound information on each with time to take some photos.
I grew up in the 1980s as a teenager watching Dallas & have rewatched the series a number of times as an adult; so speaking as a lifelong fan of the show, I absolutely loved this tour! Getting to tour the grounds and the house - inside and out - was a dream come true! There is a museum included on the grounds as well, which had a lot of neat items and photographs were allowed, and indeed encouraged! As a solo traveler to the Dallas area w/out a rental car, the cost of the tour with the shuttle van was well-worth the price as Southfork is quite a distance outside of Dallas. The tour included many details and sites related to the JFK assassination; and while that wasn't MY main focus or reason for taking the tour, the information was very interesting, detailed, enthralling & presented with great storytelling gusto! So I found myself surprisingly quite intrigued with that part of the tour also! I highly recommend this tour. It was a very enjoyable experience all the way around!
An amazing experience
We have a good guide, Daniel very funny and passionned
Thank you to him
Sophie
Grossly overpriced, driver was dangerous , very erratic and terrible road rage , not worth the money
Daniel was excellent tour guide great subject knowledge and very warm kind personality . In our humble Irish opinion he was born for this role. Thank you Johnaton
Our tour guide Dan, was very knowledgeable about several historical factors. I recommend booking with him, as it makes the tour special.
Would recommend taking this tour.
The trip was cancelled last minute, but the company was nice enough to let me know. I managed to set up a trip last minute.
Dan was our tour guide and made it a fun and interesting day. He has great knowledge of the Kennedy assassination but didn't get lost in minutia. He also gave us a nice tour of Dallas, informing us about the past and present. Very interesting. The South Fork tour was great, as it was like stepping back in time to see the 70s and 80s. Reminded me of a Graceland tour. But ask for Dan. He sells it.
An amazing tour! Dan, the super passionate tour guide was very attentive all the time and gave us great information about JFK. I totally recommend this tour!
Really good and informative tour. Orlando was a great tour guide. We learned lots about Dallas and so many other facts.
It was wonderful to see the Ranch after being huge fans of the show. Our tour guide Dan was awesome, engaging and knowledgeable.
Orlando was a fantastic tour guide. He was so friendly and provided great information for our Dallas trip.
The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure the experience was to expectations. The Ranch was full of memories and well worth the time to walk the exterior.
