This tour starts in the heart of downtown Dallas, where a minivan will pick you up to take you through some of the city's most historic sites. From that first point, you'll be accompanied by a specialised guide who will provide you with context and relevant information, helping you to understand the importance of each place you'll visit.

First, you will visit Dealey Plaza, the scene of the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Next, you'll arrive at Pioneer Plaza, with its imposing bronze sculptures reflecting the region's cowboy heritage.

Later, you will be transported to the legendary world of the Ewing family by visiting the famous Southfork Ranch, the main setting of the famous "Dallas" series. During the experience, you will enjoy unique sights, historical anecdotes and curious details from the filming.

The drama series, centred on the Ewing family and their oil empire, was one of the most successful series of the 1980s, garnering a total of 23 Emmy Award nominations.

You will also visit its different rooms, where you can find elements related to the series, such as different video clips of some episodes, Lucy's wedding dress, or interviews with some of the stars of the show.

The tour also includes a train ride through the land owned by the ranch, where you can see Ewing's oil office and go up to his mansion. You can visit J.R.'s bedroom, and admire Jock's 1978 Lincoln continental.

At the end of the tour, the same vehicle will return you to the starting point in the city centre, giving you a chance to reflect on what you have learned and experienced. Bring your camera for unforgettable photos and take the opportunity to take home a unique souvenir from the Ranch Round-Up, the collectibles shop located in the visitor centre. Get ready to immerse yourself in the history, Texan culture and the essence of this legendary TV series!
