DALLAS

  • Itinerary
<

​Day 1 -  Get a car for one day if possible and go to Forth Worth

Fort Worth promotes itself as the "City of Cowboys and Culture". Fort Worth has the world's first and largest indoor rodeo, world class museums, a calendar of festivals and a robust local arts scene! 

From authentic Texas bar-b-que restaurants to south-of-the-border cuisine, you can find whatever food you’ve got a hankering for after a day on the trail. Indulge in Riscky's Barbeque as it has been serving up authentic Texas barbeque for over 75 years, slow cooking ribs, chicken and ham in the oh-so-famous Riscky’s famed barbeque pits.

Another activity you'd like to consider, is to watch the Fort Worth Herd cattle drive from the sidewalks and restaurants on East Exchange Avenue. The longhorns reside in the corral located behind the Livestock Exchange Building where they eat, sleep and are well cared for. Every detail of the cattle drive—from the saddles and chaps to the boots and hats – is authentic and historically true.

Day 2- Check the Omni Hotel and explore the Water Gardens

Escape to a shady sanctuary where the serene quiet pool is the perfect spot to take in the beautiful outdoor nature and relax in Fort Worth. The urban park is frequently billed as a "cooling oasis in the concrete jungle" of downtown. The quiet, blue meditation pool is encircled with cypress trees and towering walls that are covered in thin plane of water that cascades almost 90 degrees down to the sunken blue water feature. The sound of the water on the walls evokes thoughts of a gentle rain shower. The aerating pool features multiple illuminated spray fountains under a canopy of large oak trees.

Day 3: Food and Culture Walking Tour

The food tour you will visit is one of the best Tex-Mex food stops that the Historic West End of Downtown Dallas has to offer! With their unique "Pay as you Go" model, simply hand the guide $25 cash on your arrival and the guide will take care of the rest! They will pay for the entire group at each of our 4 stops! Minimizing wait time. Paying cash makes it easy for each restaurant to offer more food for much less that you would pay on a comparable food tour!

You will visit the Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse for their amazing Chuckwagon Chili. Made Texas style without beans!

At our next stop, you will sample their delicious fish tacos made with blackened tilapia, poblano rajas, mango salsa, red-chile tomatillo in a flour tortilla!

You will then savor the deep fried cuisine that made the Texas State Fair famous at Ellen's

Our last stop is Kokopelli Sweets for their unique chipotle sorbet called Mangonada. A mixture of savory, spicy and sweet!

Day 5: Southfork Ranch Combo Tour

Perhaps the genesis of Dallas as a small trading post in 1841 seems incredulous as one now looks on one of the most beautiful cities in these United States. Dallas is indeed a city of international renown and boasts some marvelous landmarks. Guests to Dallas will want to give themselves plenty of time to take in the sights and sounds.

Guests may enjoy the museum and shop the Ranch Round-up at the Visitor’s Center where they can buy Southfork Ranch gifts and Texas memorabilia. Additional items that are always of interest are:
- The prop gun used to frame the well-known question, “who shot JR?”
- Lucy’s wedding dress
- Video clips from many series’ episodes
- Interviews conducted with “stars” of the show
