Wonderful

Philippa_R, Dec 2024

Preston was an wonderful guide. He knew alot. It was an wonderful tour. The rooming house was interesting.

John did a good job...

MaryAnn_P, Nov 2024

John did a good job covering the events that led up to the JFK assassination & showing us relevant sites. We had an extended layover at DFW (6-7 hours) & taking the orange line DART subway train to West End stop was an inexpensive & direct way to get to the meeting spot where the tour began. I wish time had allowed for visiting the book depository museum as I bet it would have been informative.

The Most Interesting Tour

Lori_D, Nov 2024

John was an informative, interesting and engaging guide. He thoroughly described the all aspects of this very sad historical event. I was so engaged with the tour I could not believe that two hours went by so quickly. I highly recommend John and the tour.

Great Tour!

Richard_S, Nov 2024

Dan was amazing! So knowledgable and engaging! Rooming house was awesome and brought you back to that era in time!

Fantastic trip in Dallas

aine_k, Oct 2024

I enjoyed every part if this trip, but especially getting to see where Lee Oswald lived. I also had done the trip before but never heard about Lee Oswald killing the cop before he was captured. Tim was very informative.

Informative, quality and a definite doer!

Sharon_O, Oct 2024

Fantastic tour! This tour was so informative and gave a great deal of insight into the facts as well as identifying the rumours and theories that have come out over time. Our tour guide, Richard was fabulous and really knew his stuff. Entry into the rooming house and it being kept just as it was when Oswald was living there was eerie and a highlight. Meeting the granddaughter of the woman who owned the rooming house and hearing that she had met Oswald as a child was an unexpected bonus. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour

Kathleen_F, Oct 2024

Out tour guide, Orlando, was very knowledgeable. He was an excellent tour guide. He showed us all the locations i had only read about in history books. I was very glad my daughter and I had time to take this tour.

Preston is the man!!

Tom_B, Oct 2024

Preston was a wealth of knowledge! He really brought the scenes to life and gave in depth, fact based information. Highly recommend!

Preston is the best!

Chris_R, Oct 2024

The JFK Assassination Tour was absolutely the best tour we've ever taken. Being able to stand in Oswald's actual room at the boarding house was a highlight for us. The owner actually knew Oswald when she was eleven and offered some unique insights. Our guide, Preston, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Request him if you can.

Two full hours well worth it.

Lynn_C, Oct 2024

It was surprising how small Dealey Plaza is. I always imagined it much bigger. I was disappointed the museum was not open because it was a Monday and that was not told to us. But the van was very clean. Our tour guide Richard was great and knowledgable and it was full of info and sights in just two hours.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard…

Mary_D, Oct 2024

The walk to the grassy knoll/BookDepository was the most moving part of the tour, I think because of the iconic photos that we’ve all seen.

Book the Tour, Let Dan do the rest

Edgar_d, Oct 2024

Excellent experience! Dan was our tour guide and he made the tour for us. Outside of his knowledge on topic, which was top notch, he recreated the event for us and made us feel as we were there. If you’re in the city and looking to learn about the JFK assassination, book this tour and let Dan do the rest. If there were 6 stars, we’d give it.

Dan was a fantastic guide...

Ann_O, Sep 2024

Dan was a fantastic guide and really kept us intrigued. The two hours flew by and I’m booking another trip with Dan with some friends coming into town.

Very Informative

Mike_v, Sep 2024

Really worthwhile tour, guide was very knowledgeable. A shame the headset/communication devices weren’t working as it was hard to hear the guide at times and he certainly had to strain to be heard., though we were seated at the rear of the van. The aircon wasn’t functioning well where we sat.

Awesome experience

MichaelSisco, Sep 2024

Oswald rooming house and Dealy Plaza. Tim our guide was great! Really enjoyed Dallas and the museum was amazing too!

Great experience! Tour...

Greg_L, Sep 2024

Great experience! Tour Ivan was very knowledgeable and we learned more than we thought we would. Would highly recommend this tour

Amazing! Just perfect!

Cindy_C, Aug 2024

Incredible tour! Dan was amazing and griping. I felt like I was listening to an audible book as he was talking about the JFK assassination and that was before the tour even started! His knowledge of the events and his passion was truly incredible and inspiring. He answered every question. He was truly impressive!

The tour guide was...

IMark_B, Aug 2024

The tour guide was amazing incredibly passionate made the tour. Very informative highly recommend this tour. Please note the museum is closed on Monday Tuesday.

great tour

ThomasM_b, Aug 2024

The tour guide was so knowledgeable made it so easy to follow. The assination has many theories and he answered the questions we had.

Ok tour. Costly

Robert_H, Aug 2024

Interesting but really over priced and you get people just walk up to the tour and get info free and tag along. No museum at the end Avs get you to pay another 25 per person which really isn't that great other than looking at pictures. Over all OK tour, but pretty expensive for what it is.
