The trip did not meet our expectations. We thought in advance that we could watch the cowboys at work, or at least show such a show. We were driven by an air-conditioned bus through the ranch, ter tour guide stopped everywhere where there was nothing to see. Where there was something to see (Texas L...

Loved seeing the animals on bus tour. Somewhat difficult for us to understand the Texas accent when air conditioner was on in back. I'd suggest sitting towards front of bus because when the sun hit our side of the bus, we really appreciated the air. Also, when people up front answered the drivers qu...

King Ranch employees that drive pickups around the Austin area are very bad drivers. They putz in the passing lane (10-20 *under* the speed limit). And when you try to pass them they died up really fast and try pushing you off the road. I will never give them my business.

We visited as part of a bird tour. We saw a green jay and other birds of South Texas. The King Ranch is a working cattle ranch of over 800,000 acres. The ranch also receives income from quarter horses, eco-tours, and hunting. Worth a bucket list trip!

Tour was 1 and 1/2 hours and all I heard about was fences and watering holes. When we finally got to the facilities (barns, houses, shop) it was in the last 10 minutes and we couldn t get out or even STOP. The tour is way overpriced and we heard the same information multiple times. You could get mor...

I booked the tour for 5 family members visiting from across the country seeing that the reviews for it were good. I thought it would be a good way to show off Texas and it's old heritage but I was sadly mistaken.

The tour guide we had I believe h...

Last fall (2013) I purchased an expensive saddle rack, had it shipped to CA for christmas for my brother in law and he opened it and it was wrecked from shipping, someone obviously dropped it. I called King Ranch and they said they would take care of it. I have now called three times, emailed severa...

Disappointed in what little we saw. Sure could use more open areas to view. One thing pops to mind is the mansion itself. That would have been nice to tour. And why was the original home torn down? That was part of the ranch's history and should have been preserved. And having heard so much about th...

I've been showing horses and cattle for the Ft. Worth stock show and rodeo for nearly 10 years. I love King ranch animals and leather goods. However, the tour of the ranch was extremely underwhelming. We were not allowed to exit the tour vehicle for pictures or see any of the quarter horses. We were...

Super overpriced for what the tour is, an hour and a half sitting in a bus, listening to a man speaking nonstop in a monotonous voice and with any interaction with the cows, horses, cowboys...you can't get out of bus to see the animals or take closer pictures. Dont waste your time and money.

We took the 1.5 hour tour, but it went on for over two hours. The bus driver was the tour guide and for those of us sitting the second half of the bus, it was not possible to hear her or figure out what she was talking about. There was so much side talking towards the end that we were just looking...

Almost feel asleep on the tour. Guide was pleasant enough, alittle on the monotone. Was expecting more cattle/ horse action such as rounding up the cattle. Great history lesson. Wished we seen more animals but maybe wrong time of day. Overall it was nice to understand the operations of a ranch.
