Dallas in Wonderland: A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Dallas
On this self-guided walking tour, you'll go down the rabbit hole to hear Dallas' sometimes bizarre and brilliant history.
Put on your cowboy boots and ten gallon hat, you’re in Texas! On this walking tour, you’ll discover that Dallas is not the western town that many people might think it is.
You’ll learn about Texas's humble beginnings, a territory that the Spanish seized from the Caddo Confederacy of Native Americans. Several other nations claimed it before briefly becoming its own republic.
You’ll have the opportunity to step back in time to the grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza and relive the JFK assassination and its aftermath. Leaving the bad behind, you’ll also see Dallas’s most visited sights. You'll gather facts and debunk conspiracy theories about Fidel Castro and the CIA at Reunion Tower, and you can pay your respects to the former president at the JFK memorial.
After the tour, you should be well-versed in the history of this Texan city and its sightseeing opportunities.
