Highlights tour offered hotel pick up, comfortable vehicle and personal guide in Erin who has huge knowledge. You pay more than a big group but you get twice the information and see twice a much. Family tour company. Such nice people and flexible with the programme (did Dallas and Southfork the next day and they were able to work around the weather issues). Well worth the money and thoroughly recommended.

Wow! What a tour, would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Dallas! From point of enquiry/booking Rebecca was amazing ensuring we had all the details needed for our Tour with Erin. We seen so much and Erin's knowledge and commentary throughout was second to none, it was a thoroughly fabulous tour, really engaging and I think it really made our trip something to remember! We not only had a wonderful tour but Erin ensured we had plenty of photo ops in some of the best spots and she gave us real Texan recommendations for BBQ and music (not just the touristy bits). Thank Rebecca and Erin.

Rebecca was an awesome guide - super knowledgeable and shared so much about the history of Fort Worth! We learned things we would have never learned visiting on our own. My 2 kids thoroughly enjoyed the tour as well. She gave us a lot of tips on how to spend our last few days in the DFW area. Highly recommended!

Can’t recommend this tour company enough. Erin and her partner Rebecca were both amazing. They were both accommodating as well, dropping us off at our hotel by the airport on the last night of our trip. We had 2 tours booked with them and ended up cancelling the 3rd tour and staying with them all 3 days. Started to feel like we were old friends. They don’t disappoint, and you won’t be sorry.
