If you’ve always wanted to experience the heart and soul of the Lone Star State, then come along for the ride on our incredible Texan journey! We’re starting things off in Grapevine, the perfect central base for us to settle in and meet our fellow travellers. You’ll be walking through history at Dealey Plaza and the 6th Floor Museum in Dallas, before we head over to Southfork Ranch—it’s a real treat to see where the legendary Ewings lived!

You’ll have plenty of time to explore the iconic 6th Street or tuck into some famous food at Stubb’s BBQ, and we'll even take you for a night out at the world-famous Broken Spoke. From the historic walls of the Alamo and the beautiful River Walk in San Antonio to the incredible space artefacts at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, this trip is packed with proper legends.
