I was a bit worried about my luggage to be honest when my plane landed. Thank God I was on time and the tour guide found me and took care of my luggage. I didn’t have to do anything at all rather than resting in my room that the tour guides arranged. In that, I would say that the accommodation was amazing and all other services were handled brilliantly.

The tour was absolutely amazing that not only helped us learn about the authentic southern culture but also, we got around so many renowned sites such as the Alamo Mission and Fort Worth Stockyards. I wasn’t even sure that we were going to have a great fun since there was a quite diverse community on board with us, they seemed to enjoy the tour as well. However, the did exceed our budget but it was alright since we stayed in really decent hotels and traveled on fine buses with great bus host. A week well spent!

We decided to take a flight in order to return to our hometown, it got much late in the evening, therefore we had to take a flight. However, the buses on which we traveled were great, as compared to the destination which was not much fun but they find in their own sense. It was remarkable to visit the authentic culture of Texas, I always wanted to get around those famous places there, thanks to this great bus tour. Great time at Houston, San Antonio, and of course the at Dallas city. I think it’s one great bus journey in the Texas state, that explores the best out best! Thanks anyway.

I enjoyed a lot. I thought in the beginning that this tour will get boring after a couple of days but thankfully it got even more exciting with each day passing. Eight days didn’t sound too much at all at any part of this trip and I made such good friends. We are still in contact and meet occasionally. It was a wonderful experience to explore my hometown.

I would love to go on this trip again. It was such a wonderful experience to visit all the attractions. It was great to know the history of all such places.

Eight days to spend on a vacation were probably insufficient, as though we went to the amazing sites and Dallas Aquarium was the best of them for me and my family. The sightseeing from Reunion Tower was something that stunning that won’t be enough for it. Anyways, our lodgings were nicely set and the tour as entirely is appreciable

I am hugely disappointed. I mean what good is it to view the famous attractions from outside. I don’t remember any place that we visited in details. Everyone was in a rush and I felt like I have wasted all my money on this trip.

I will say that this tour gets boring for a while in the middle but apart from that the team is good and the tour guides are also great. They are very professional and you really enjoy the trip.
