Location
Dallas is a growing city in the heart of the south west United States that is home to some of America’s most prosperous businesses and friendliest people. Famous for its southern hospitality, Dallas is a welcoming city for any visiting tourist. Come and explore the city’s many art galleries by embarking on a guided outdoor art tour. The cultural benefits are supplemented by the sightseeing benefits, as those who take part in the tour can visit the city’s more famous galleries over a 3 mile course. Significant Dallas highlights include the beautiful skyline, diverse cuisine, and warm weather. There’s something for everyone in Dallas, as this major economic centre is the fourth largest metropolitan area in all the United States. Don’t miss out on a chance to visit this vibrant and vital economic centre of the southern United States.
