Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Southern Methodist University, 6425 Boaz Ln, Dallas, TX 75275-0001
"We spent 3 hours with guide John and it was time and money well spent. We were in town visiting Southern Methodist University, as our daughter is very interested in attending there. Being from California and not familiar with the area, we wanted a tailored tour to giving us a "locals" feel of where she might live, study, shop and play for the next 4 years.
We had already toured campus, but John gave us additional information and insights about SMU. He showed us various nearby apartments, neighborhoods, stores, etc. He also pointed out light rail and explained transportation. We saw downtown (for possible future internships) and the lovely arts district, as well as Uptown, the West End and the spectacular homes of Highland and University Park. He was warm, friendly and full of information.
John gave us exactly what we needed, and we feel so much more informed. Dallas is a terrific area! Although we didn't see the typical tourist sites on this day, it was clear he would have been great for that as well. The price was quite reasonable and his car very comfortable. I would recommend him and his company highly!
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Meadows Museum, 5900 Bishop Blvd, Dallas, TX 75205
Walk among the sculpture garden and observe the motions of "The Wave", the first installation in the United States by Santiago Calatrava, a Pritizer Prize Laureate. Great photo opportunity.
