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.

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

Southfork Tour

Suzi_L, Oct 2025
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.

Interesting tour

Lisa_T, Sep 2025
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

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.

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.

A Dream Come True!

Michele_P, Oct 2024
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!

Dallas

Overpriced

steven_j, Sep 2024
Grossly overpriced, driver was dangerous , very erratic and terrible road rage , not worth the money

Super performance by Tour Guide in South Fork today

Aisling_C, Sep 2024
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

Interesting tour.

Julie_C, Aug 2024
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.

Canceled

Gianina_E, Aug 2024
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.

Great tour and guide makes it!

Cal_B, Aug 2024
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.

Amazing Tour

Nadia_M, Aug 2024
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!

Fab tour

Szilvia_W, Jul 2024
Really good and informative tour. Orlando was a great tour guide. We learned lots about Dallas and so many other facts.

Awesome experience

Zenobia_B, Jul 2024
It was wonderful to see the Ranch after being huge fans of the show. Our tour guide Dan was awesome, engaging and knowledgeable.

Well worth a trip when in Dallas

Caroline_B, Jul 2024
Orlando was a fantastic tour guide. He was so friendly and provided great information for our Dallas trip.

South Fork

Trevor_B, Jul 2024
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.

JFK, Dallas downtown, SMU drive through, Southfork.

Mary_H, Jul 2024
Orlando, tour guide, has an amazing amount of knowledge and trivia about everything we saw on the tour! The tour was great—just the right amount of time for the JFK highlights, drive around downtown, and Southfork ranch. Highly recommend if you have half a day.

Super Southfork fun

christine_h, Jun 2024
Orlando was our tour guide and driver, he was entertaining on the city and history of Dallas. He drove very safely. The ladies at the Southfork ranch were fabulous, full of enthusiasm and lots of fun stories about eh shoe Dallas and it's stars. All in all a great way to spend a morning.

Bucket list

Martin_H, Jun 2024
My wife and her father watched this when it was aired many moons ago and was on her bucket list. It did not disappoint. Despite a tornado hitting Dallas, the tour company was excellent keeping us informed throughout. Southfork tour guides certainly know their stuff! We had the opportunity to see the whole house and learnt its history. It’s not as big as portrayed on television but wow! Definitely worth a visit.

Company Cancels Tour the Night Before

Megan_H, Apr 2024
The company texted us late the night before that they were canceling the tour because not enough people signed up. We had booked over a month in advance. I was duped by Viator, Trip Advisor, and the company when it was advertised "like to sell out." I don't have my money back so far. Had I known earlier, we could have at least booked a different tour.

Fun, informative tour.

Natacha_R, Apr 2024
Fun tour if you are a fan of the 1980’s Dallas show. Got to see a bit of the city first which was interesting then a full on Southfork tour. I loved it.
