My wife and I booked the Dallas Highlights Tour about a month before visiting Dallas for the first time. We came to town for a wedding but wanted to learn more about Dallas. We decided this 4 hour tour would be ideal. Our guide, Erin, communicated with us in the weeks prior to our trip and even recommended a good hotel we could stay at that she could pick us up at to start the tour. We met her at 9am on Monday. Erin showed up in a Lexus SUV which was very comfortable and cool, which was a welcomed thing in the 97 degree heat. We were pleased to learn we were in for a private tour that day. I am hearing impaired and sat in the front and my wife sat in the back. Erin, was super! She was so friendly and welcoming. She is a Dallas native so really knows the history of the city and was able to answer all of our questions in a such a way that we knew she loves the city and knows all about it. The JFK history was the reason we booked the tour but her guide through the parks and the art and the the architecture and the beautiful nearby neighborhood made it difficult to decide what we liked best. We highly recommend Erin and the Dallas Highlights tour to all! We will definitely be back and will tour with Erin again… maybe the Fort Worth and rodeo tour??? Thanks for your style, Erin.

Working in Events, I take a ton of tours. I have to say this was the best tour experience I've ever had.

I was impressed with Discover Dallas Tours even days before the tour, when Rebecca called me to learn my points of interest. She spent an hour on the phone with me, sharing the latest developments in Dallas and answering questions about my move out there!

On the day of my tour, my guide, Erin, was punctual, welcoming, and knowledgable. She tailored the tour to my interests! Instead of glazing past landmarks, she gave us in-depth history and shared hidden gems only known to locals. My dad and I had a great day and felt so much better about my move after Erin's insights. This tour is BIG value for the money!

Erin led the best tour of our 3 week holiday. So glad we chose this company.
I’d recommend it as ‘the first thing off the plane’ for the love of Dallas it gives.

My husband and I took the Dallas Highlights Tour with Erin. She is very knowledgeable and accommodating, and was sensitive to our particular interests, giving us all the time we needed at our favorite stops. Her knowledge of JFK's assassination helped us better understand the events of that day and provided us with new insights into that day. We enjoyed seeing Pioneer Plaza and the Pegasus Icon. She understood that photos were important to us and she was an excellent photographer, helping us document our journey. Erin was always on time and always looking after our needs, fitting lunch for us into a busy day. Our tour vehicle provided excellent comfort and transportation.
