Tours in Dallas |
Walking Tours
The city layout favours non-pedestrian tours, as does the summer heat. However, specific institutions have their indoor walking tours as well as occasional outdoor ones, such as with the Wilson Block Historic District (see Key Attractions) operated by the Preservation Center, 2922 Swiss Avenue (tel: (214) 821 3290; website: www.preservationdallas.org).
Bus Tours
A bus tour is an excellent way for visitors to understand how the city fits together, without having to battle the traffic and one-way systems. Grayline Tours offers a variety of air-conditioned bus tours in and around the city, with professional driver-guides. Their three-hour Dallas City Tour offers pick up from local hotels. To book a Grayline tour in the Dallas area, call Coach America (tel: 1 800 256 4723) or book online at www.grayline.com.
Other Tours
Dallas Historical Society Tours (tel: (214) 421 4500 ext 105; website: www.dallashistory.org/activities/tours.htm) take place on specific dates in spring and autumn.
