  We thoroughly enjoyed our Big Texan Reversed trip of April 2026. It was a nice van trip with our Driver Richard and Tour Manager Donna. We were able to see all that was outlined in the itinerary. At each stop, the van brought us right up to the closest spot he could, and then we were directed or escorted to the door with great explanations of timing to return. On many occasions they certainly exceeded in helping those of us that were having trouble with directions, guidance and mobility. We enjoyed the free time to explore and investigate all that we wanted. The hotels were nice with breakfast included. At the last nite, we all enjoyed a provided delicious steak dinner together.. We enjoyed the relationships that we built and appreciated the trip experience.Show more

  I thought this was a guided tour? It was a drop and run. The van driver and ESCORT dumped us off and said have a good time we will be back in 2 hours. No guide, map, nor hightlight of the stop. The first place they took us for dinner was a resturant inside a grocery store, we all (6) said no. Then they took us to a buffet that we had no idea what things were because the trays were not labeled. Didnint knoow if it was chicken or fish. The next day we stoped for lunch at a truck stop to east at subwaywe went to 2 sallons, paid $15 60 watch country line dancing. The whole tour was a walk and see and the escort never joined us and all of the breakfast food was microwave. Not what I expected. Will read more carefully and ask question before my trip to the ballon festival in Albuque in Oct.Show more

  Dear Debra Thank you for your feedback. We were surprised to read your comments, as they stand in stark contrast to the itinerary provided for **The Big Texan Adventure** and the high level of personal service our team provided throughout the trip. To ensure clarity for future guests, it is important to distinguish that this is a professionally escorted tour, not a walking guided tour. Our Tour Manager and Driver provide door-to-door service and context during transit. Specifically, as you were a solo traveler with disabilities, our team took extra care to ensure you were never left to your own devices unless you wanted to be; you were consistently invited to dine with the Tour Manager and Driver, and they personally assisted you in navigating various areas to ensure your comfort and safety. We would like to clarify the following regarding the tour’s value and itinerary: The Itinerary: While we understand Southfork Ranch was your primary motivation for booking, this five-city tour included significant landmarks such as the Houston Space Center, The Alamo, the San Antonio Riverwalk and Missions, the Texas State Capitol, the Texas Ranger Museum, the 6th Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, and the Fort Worth Stockyards. The "Saloon" Experience: The $15 fee you mentioned was for admission to The Broken Spoke, one of the most legendary and historic dance halls in Texas. This fee covers live music and the opportunity to experience authentic Texas Two-Step culture. Dining: We take pride in our culinary selections. While lunch stops are chosen for efficiency between cities, our evening meals included quality sit-down dining at a Longhorn Steakhouse, Tolbert’s in Grapevine, and Rock & Brews. Curated Stops: Our staff remained available to you at every highlight, from the Willie Nelson Statue and 6th Street in Austin to Sundance Square in Fort Worth and Historic Main Street in Grapevine. We regret that our model of an escorted tour did not meet your expectations, despite the personalized assistance provided to accommodate your needs. We wish you a pleasant trip to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque this October. Best regards, Lynda Malia Travelling Time
