Dan, our Tour Guide, was awesome! He provided us with lots of information; he was so willing to take pictures so that I didn't have to rely on selfies, and gave us recommendations on where to eat, stand for the best view of the cattle drive, and pointed out the restrooms.

Stop At: Fort Worth Water Gardens
1502 Commerce St, , Fort Worth, Texas
The urban park is frequently billed as a "cooling oasis in the concrete jungle" of downtown. Its focal points are three pools of water and a terraced knoll, which helps to shield the park from the rest of the City. The quiet, blue meditation pool is encircled with cypress trees and towering walls that are covered in thin plane of water that cascades almost 90 degrees down to the sunken blue water feature. The sound of the water on the walls evokes thoughts of a gentle rain shower. The aerating pool features multiple illuminated spray fountains under a canopy of large oak trees. The main attraction of the Water Gardens is the active pool, which has water cascading 38 feet (11 m) down terraces and steps into a small pool at the bottom. The active pool experience was built for people to be able to walk down the terraced steps to be surrounded by and experience the power, sounds and motion of water crashing around them.

Our Fort Worth tour was outstanding from start to finish. The guide was very knowledgeable, shared so many interesting stories about the city and Stockyards, and kept the whole experience fun and engaging for everyone in our group. We saw places we never would have found on our own, had plenty of time for photos and questions, and felt well taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area – it’s the perfect way to experience the real Fort Worth in just a few hours.

Tim was very knowledgeable of the history of the city, and catered to our questions and needs when prompted. We really enjoyed the tour and was able to embrace the pride of the city's legacy!
The Ft. Worth Stockyards is a whole experience within itself. We loved the area and spent extended time there, after the tour.
I would definitely recommend this tour to any and all. Don't hesitate!

Great tour of the Fort Worth Stocklands! I enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend. Anna and Dan were great tour guides and knew so much history about the JFK tragedy. They took us to the spot where it all happened and it was truly a learning experience for me. Hands down - 10/10!
Darlene_C
Amazing tour. Very good driver. Very communicative. Gave a great history of Fort Worth and some information about Dallas and Texas. Stockyard experience wonderful. Easy walking to many shops to buy souvenirs, clothing, boots, hats, post cards and other trinkets.
