Texas is nearly three times the size of the UK, so you won’t see it all in a fortnight – but you can savour gracious Southern hospitality and discover a great diversity of scenery, culture and history. As the largest of the continental United States, the diversity of Texas lets you combine outdoor activity and adventure to experience the old Wild West and cowboy lifestyle to the modern dramatic big cities or the Spanish Mexican influence creating Tex Mex. The Texans are friendly and offer a warm welcome to their state.

Iconic Texas experiences abound - from a visit to the Alamo and a leisurely cruise, to a tour of the grassy knoll and the 6th Floor of the Old Texas Book Depository, commemorating the life and legacy of President John F Kennedy. In Fort Worth's Stockyards, saloon doors swing on their hinges and the legendary Fort Worth Herd are led through the streets daily. Ranches all over the state offer guests the real cowboy lifestyle complete with lassoes, trail rides and cook outs.

Separated by only 55km/34 miles, the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth are the perfect start to any American adventure. While some destinations offer the vibrancy of the big city and others the charm of a historical town, Dallas and Fort Worth combined offer the best of both worlds. And more! The DFW Metropolitan area is the 4th largest in the USA, it has one of the best airports in the world and an enviable geographical location, just 2-4 hours from any major North American city. But everything is bigger in Texas, don’t try to experience both in one or two days; we suggest spending two or three days in each city and adding a ranch stay in between for a true American experience. Dallas offers one of the most iconic skylines in the world, 5 professional sport teams, charming neighbourhoods such as Deep Ellum, and more retail than any other American city. Fort Worth offers authentic Western heritage including a twice-daily cattle drive, the world’s largest honky-tonk and a year-round rodeo. Throughout both cities you’ll find art galore, an exciting culinary scene, microbreweries and, of course, Texan hospitality!
