Tom is incredibly personable and knowledgeable. He is a great story teller and bought the JFK assignation to life. It’s a well paced tour. Tom is happy to give suggestions about what to see and places to eat. Thanks Tom. It was great to meet you.

The tour description states foot, trolley, rail as if there would be historical significance on each part of the tour..

Response from Host

Dec 2022

We are disappointed by this review! The description tells us how we will travel. However, we spoke about the significance of the railroad and how it put Dallas on the map when the southern spur of the transcontinental railroad came through Dallas. We also spoke about the trolley and how it was THE way dallisites got around. But in the 1950s they modernized and got rid of them. Only to bring back a section in the 1980s. So we did speak about the historical aspects of each. Not sure what this guest was looking for. The also missed an hour of the tour because they left early. So how would they know what was talked about.
