Eric was a friendly and well- informed guide. We enjoyed spending the day with him. We really enjoyed learning about LBJ and loved Fredericksburg.

The tour guide continuously made inappropriate comments about politics and his “glass-half-empty” view of life.

Response from Host

We apologize if our guide said anything inappropriate. 99 out of 100 times we get very positive reviews of our guides. We have already contacted the guide on you tour and have arranged for re-training on tour content and customer service. One of the areas that we emphasize is that tours are meant to be fun and informative and that guides should keep their personal feelings about things to themselves. I will gladly discuss this matter further with you if you contact me at: [email protected].
