November 14-19, 2023 | Christmas in Branson #1

Webb Tours has hosted THOUSANDS of people to Branson over the past 29 years.  We love the place, we love the people and we love the shows – and nobody can show you Branson like we can.

Space is limited to one bus on each tour.

November 14:  Today we meet at the Salt Lake Airport for our flight to Tulsa.  Our luxury motor coach awaits.  We’ll be on the same coach with the same driver for the six days we are in Branson and the tour is directed by experts that know Branson inside and out.  On the drive into Branson, your director will share interesting and educational information as we prepare for a fun week together.  Dinner is included at the entertaining “Lambert’s Café” as we make our way into the beautiful Ozarks.  We’ll stay at the Holiday Inn Express or Comfort Suites Thousand Hills (both excellent hotels). D

November 15:  There are over 100 shows in Branson at Christmastime.  We have been going to Branson for 28 years so we know how to maximize your time and overall experience in this very unique place.  We’ll start this morning with a morning show performed by George Dyer who has one of the nicest tenor voices you’ll ever hear (and another favorite of our groups). This afternoon we’ll see an excellent show which is performed by the Texas Tenors who have become very popular in Branson. This will be there 11th year on stage in the Ozarks. After a rest, we’ll have nice dinner at the Dockside Restaurant followed an 8:00 show with The Dutton Family who sold everything and moved to Branson (from Utah) 25+ years ago and have become a household name.  This is a very impressive family who owns their own theater in town and puts on an energetic and delightful Christmas show.

November 16: This morning we’ll see an interesting IMAX film that shows us the history of the area in a moving Keith Merrill production followed by lunch in Old Town. After lunch, you’ll have a choice: If weather permits, you can choose to go to Silver Dollar City which is lit with millions of lights and is turned into an incredible Christmas village (price not included). OR you can enjoy an optional show (to be announced). Dinner is include either way. Our evening show tonight is peformed by the Presley Family who had the first show in Branson in the 1960’s. The fourth generation of Presleys are now performing in this historic theater. B, D

November 17:    We enjoy a morning show today with Doug Gabriel who has been performing in Branson for over 25 years. Doug is a very personable entertainer who shocases all kinds of mucsic. After lunch, we’ll enjoy a change of pace with Yakov Smirnoff who is back in town and he is funnier than ever. Our groups have LOVED this show. It’s funny, it’s moving and it’s very unique. After a rest at the hotel, dinner is at the Grand Country Buffet followed by the incredible “The Hughes Brothers” featuring a big show with big energy and big talent (and very personable).B, D

November 18:   The Brett Family retired last year after performing for 28 years in Branson. Today there is an optional show EXCLUSIVEY for our group. We HIGHLY recommend it. We will then show you around the area. You’ll get a feel for the beauty of the area and learn some of the interesting history.  You’ll see right away that there is much to love about this place.  In the late afternoon, we’ll enjoy an early dinner and entertainment aboard the Showboat Branson Belle as it sails on Table Rock Lake.   This continues to be one of the best activities in Branson that everyone loves.  The food, talent level, variety of entertainment and holiday atmosphere are exceptional.   We then enjoy our final show at the biggest theater in town.  It’s called Queen Esther and it is performed at Sight and Sound – Branson’s biggest stage. This is the Biblical story brought to life with original Broadway style music, exceptional actors and special effects you won’t believe.  It is the perfect way to end our tour.  B, D

 November 19:  Today we return to the airport for our flights back to Salt Lake arriving in the afternoon.  You will have enjoyed some GREAT SHOWS, eaten some delicious meals, seen the beauty of the area, learned the interesting history of Branson, and you’ll have several new friends.  B 

 Tour price includes all transportation, lodging, 10 meals, 10 shows and is fully escorted by directors that have been to Branson many times.  The only thing you will pay in addition to the tour price is lunch each day and souvenirs.  Note that flights directly into the Branson Airport were discontinued as of October, 2014 which is why we are flying to Kansas City or Tulsa.  The interesting drive down gives us a chance to get acquainted and enjoy the interesting scenery.
