EXCELLENT TOUR AND GUIDE WAS OUTSTANDING AND FRIENDLY!

Jim_K, Apr 2024

Entire tour led by excellent guide...liked the story behind officer Tippett shooting and the marks on the road near the grassy mound where it shows bullets hitting the President.

Don't use this service. It hard to track down the owners. Always book direct.

Sidney_P, Apr 2024

I would never again us this service. I received a text from the driver that the time had been changed to 1 PM versus the 10 AM Booking time and created a problem that we had changed our plans. I'm still trying to get a credit back on my account.

Very knowledgeable tour...

Matt is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, and a natural entertainer. Kept us engaged the whole time.

Great and informative

De_D, Dec 2023

The details of history that was as accurate as it could be. Orlando was a great tour guide! That is all

Tim is an excellent tour...

Sachin_G, Dec 2023

Tim is an excellent tour guide who knew more than the typical assassination story. He curated his story based off each location. He made sure there weren’t any questions left unanswered. He knew how to chronologically lay out every part of the story to build the overall assassination. The overall tour was phenomenal. Being a history buff myself, it was a very surreal experience to see the site where a beloved president lost his life. Tim also made us aware of the several conspiracy theories that exist, surrounding the situation.

A must-see if you visit Dallas Texas.

Arline_M, Dec 2023

John was an excellent tour guide. He made sure we had all the information of that historic event and took us to all the pertinent sites. Great tour.

Great tour

JFK / Oswald the human story: Meeting Patricia Hall at Oswalds Rooming House was exceptional

Ronan_F, Nov 2023

Matt the guide was great. Lots of human stories which gave the context and background to 1960s and even the politics of today. Going to places connected with Oswalds flight and arrest was memorable.

I finally REALLY understand the history of the JFK assassination.

Christi_T, Nov 2023

I finally understand! Obviously I learned about the JFK assassination in high school, but there were elements to the history that I never truly understood. So much was made clear after having taken this tour. And my 19-year-old history buff daughter also really enjoyed herself.

Informative and fun tour

Michele_H, Oct 2023

Relieving history

thomas_h, Sep 2023

Being in Lee Harvey Oswald’s rooming house. Standing on the grassy knoll and seeing the Book Depository.

Memorable Experience

Ethel_T, Sep 2023

Seeing the actual site of the shooting was emotional for some of us because we recalled the actual date. The rooming house with original furniture and TV show playing was probably the most sobering thing.
