Marvin was a wonderful host and guide. Although we moved to the northeastern reaches of the metroplex more than a year ago, exploring the west side of DFW was something that needed an occasion. Marvin made it a great occasion by itself. For a few hours, we walked and talked about the emergence of Fort Worth as an independent economic engine in the region, then a potent political force in the development of the area, then as a kind of microcosm for Americana in the long first half of the twentieth century. His sensitivity to both our own intellectual interests, attention to local idiosyncrasies and focus on our enjoyment of the tour was excellent. Even where some of the usual challenges of paperwork and other couples "no-showing" the booking should have been vexatious, he was a consummate host and never made us feel any sort of stress in a situation where flux and change was necessarily frequent. If you have the chance to spend an afternoon with a polyglot like Marvin on a food tour of the Fort Worth Stockyards, do so.

What a beautifully detailed review—thank you for sharing your experience, Kyle! It’s truly wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed exploring the Fort Worth Stockyards with Marvin as your guide. His ability to tailor the tour to guests’ interests, while also sharing the rich history and unique character of the area, is something we’re truly proud of.
We’re so glad Marvin made the tour feel seamless and enjoyable, even when faced with the inevitable surprises that can come with group tours. We thoroughly train all of our guides, and it sounds like Marvin’s knowledge, sensitivity, and enthusiasm really shined through in everything he did!
Thank you for letting us be part of your journey to explore more of DFW. We hope to welcome you on another delicious adventure soon—whether it’s in Fort Worth, Dallas, or beyond!
