A good trip but not enough time. - A really enjoyable trip (although very rushed at Southfork). Our driver Orlando was superb and can’t be faulted. He had a fantastic knowledge of Dallas having grown up there and his energy and passion really came across. The JFK aspect was interesting including driving the motorcade route JFK took. Orlando played music and audio clips related to the TV series Dallas and that really built the hype of driving out to the ranch. On arrival we were given time to take photos of the ranch from a distance and Orlando helped take photos for us folk travelling alone. Going to Southfork was really great, but feeling rushed wasn’t. We had an initial 20 mins or so to browse the gift show, and then onto the guided tour of the house. Constructive feedback being that the tour time just wasn’t long enough. We literally had like 1:30hr from drop off; and given the tour guide at Southfork was so SLOW and animated, it felt it took double the time. From finishing the guided tour we had 15 mins to make it back to the bus. I bridled managed to see Jock Ewings famous Lincoln continental, but as for strolling the other out houses or soaking up the site, it just wasn’t possible. Not Orlando’s fault but that bit felt unfair. However being balanced it was good value for money and saved me having to drive out there myself. But if you are going - top tip is a let the house guide know you don’t have much time as did we, when we became trapped in the lobby of the house towards the end of the tour while the irritating host unnecessarily fussed some random toddler. I would have also wanted more time to explore this museum but again this wasn’t possible. The Southfork team also didn’t make it clear when you could go into the museum ahead of the house tour. Again not Orlando’s fault, but it sours reflect on the experience… but overall still very good and would still recommend..

Our guide was a reckless driver - Our guide was very knowledgeable however we didn’t really see a whole lot. It was mostly listening rather than doing. Also, the guide’s driving was very scary. He was speeding, switching lanes quickly without much caution, he almost hit several cars because he was going too fast. In addition, he illegally drove in between barriers on the highway to get to a different lane because he was too impatient about the traffic. I have never been so fearful of the driving on a tour before.
