The Lone Star State to the French Quarter Reviews

Thoroughly loved this tour and my tour guide Philip Walker was great as was our driver Jay (Nick name). The tour offered a lot of history about Texas and New Orleans. If your looking for a tour that offers you with a tonne of stuff to do and see then this is the tour for you. History buffs and travellers looking for information about Texas should pick ...read more this tour to do. Totally enjoyable. Would do again.

We took this holiday through Texas at the end of September 2015 and had a wonderful time. The tour was well paced and the level of accommodation excellent, especially the Drury Inns in 3 of the cities visited. Our tour director, Patrick, was informative, very organised and professional, accompanied by our very friendly and safe coach driver, Torris, ...read more both making the tour a pleasure. Loved Dallas and our visit to South Fork Ranch, had a great time in Fort Worth and also along the beautiful riverwalk in San Antonio and a wonderful visit to Houmas House Plantation & Gardens in Louisiana, if you love beautiful gardens this one in not to be missed. Global Journeys & Georgie took care of all the organising and gave very competitive rates for the holiday, this was our third holiday Georgie has arranged for us with the Globus Family of Brands and we look forward to our next one.

This tour exceeded all of our expectations. This is the third USA Cosmos tour we have done in the past 3 years and while the first two were excellent the Texas Tour was outstanding. The tour leader, Phillip Walker, a proud Texan, was simply the best and his willingness to go the extra yards to ensure everyone on the tour got the most from it was amazing. ...read more The tour, with Philip's insights gave us a wonderful appreciation of all things Texan and it certainly is a prosperous and go ahead state. The extra things that Philip took us on like the San Antonio monument, the stop over at The Texas Cowboys stadium and the Luckenbach country music jam session were all wonderful, and appreciated, inclusions.

Phillip was ably supported by an outstanding driver in Jonathan who not only drove but also provided information on his native town New Orleans. Americans are proud of their country, but Texans are even more prouder of their state and this pride is spontaneous and infectious. The tour highlights for us were the Book Depositry in Dallas (and all of the details of the President Kennedy assassination) , the Alamo in San Antonio, the river in San Antonio and the City of New Orleans, with its diverse history and culinary delights. In all a wonderful tour that we thoroughly enjoyed.

I thought the tour was very good overall but there was no downtime. We basically were rushed everyday back to the hotel at 5.30pm for a quick shower and change in order to make the food/drinks at Dury's before it finished at 7pm. I feel like I didn't get to see Houston, as the whole day was spent at the space centre. What a waste of three days being ...read more in San Antonio - definitely didn't need that! More time in New Orleans - as one night is not enough! Thanks.
