Never took it. I was wanting the voucher at the time of order not two days later. I had already left Dallas. Felt cheated

Make sure to use headphones otherwise hard to hear with phone. Lots of traffic in the area. Enjoy it really.

Tracy was amazing and extremely informational as she has been in Dallas for several years. We learned a lot of things we had no idea about.

Underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend. I thought it was too brief and covered little of significance other than the JFK sites. Would've liked more local history and significant places to stop. Overall, I thought it was rather thin. Also, ended up booking directly thru Viator, as the TripAdvisor link did not allow me to complete the purchase despite several attempts.
