Angela_B, Apr 2024

Our guide, Matthew Graybeal, was great guide! He is very knowledgeable and down to earth! He also gave us dome great recommendations for lunch!

Great tour

Beverly_D, Apr 2024

Matt was a great tour guide. Asked what we wanted at the start and geared the tour to our needs. Very knowledgeable.

Take the tour.

CHRISTIAN_M, Apr 2024

Matt was wonderful. Knew his stuff and was very entertaining. Highly recommend! Don’t forget to look beyond the fence

History

Creighton_B, Apr 2024

We found it very interesting but sad. Our tour guide was very informative. 16 year old was able to apply what she just learned in her history class to the tour.

Excellent!

Al_H, Apr 2024

Our tour guide, Matt was great! He gave a thorough and informative presentation and allowed us to ask questions. He was patient in his explanations and broke down the events of Nov 22,1963. If you want a greater understanding of the events and back story of that fateful day in American history, this walking tour is definitely the one to take.

Matthew was great....

Claire_H, Apr 2024

Matthew was great. Knowledgeable, personable and inviting questions and theories. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Paul_P, Apr 2024

The guide, Lance (I think) was very friendly but opined that the CIA, Russia/Cuba and/or Mafia were more likely involved in JFK’s assassination than it being the sole effort of Oswald. I don’t agree. And I didn’t care for his efforts to push his perspective.

JFK tour comes to life

Carly_M, Apr 2024

Dan was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable above most guides. He is a historian by trade and also a good storyteller. He really made the whole experience come alive. I would highly recommend the tour.

Great guide. Great experience.

Lisa_L, Apr 2024

Matt was an extremely knowledgeable guide. It was very eye-opening! If you visit Dallas put this tour on your itinerary.

Great overview of a tragic American event.

Lewis_A, Apr 2024

Ivan was great, very inciteful. I have been an avid study of the JFK in the broad spectrum and his tour provided new perspective on the event. To see the site in person was a special bucket list occasion. Overall it met and exceeded my expectations.

Do Not Spend Your Money on This for Any Facts

Ashley_F, Apr 2024

While I appreciate the entertainment value of a conspiracy-focused tour skewering both sides of the aisle, the entire tour consisted of pure, unadulterated, conspiracy theories. The tour guide frequently contradicted himself, presented as fact so many wild and farfetched theories -- often mixing up historical figures and the decade in which they were relevant to the story, and for some reason, really, really, hates LBJ. This needed to be advertised as a purely fictional account as there was zero "history" contained in this shambling mess. It also delved into 9/11 theories, was insulting to people who served their country in the rambling decades of conspiracy espoused, and was bizarrely anti-Texas.

A good experience.

Sue_H, Apr 2024

I loved our guide Matt’s knowledge of the events of the assassination and the history of Texas. He has a great personality.

Learn From Our Mistake And Avoid This Joke of a Tour

Greg_B, Apr 2024

This tour is mislabeled as having a history component. It is one tired conspiracy theory after another and we never would have attended had this been made clear in the tour description. Particularly insulting was was Matt the tour guide stating that LBJ was played a role in JFK’s assassination and September 11th being an inside job. The walking tour was only an hour, so the guide didn’t have time to tell us the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre was fake or the Apollo Moon Landing was staged in front of a blue screen. If you are looking for an hour based on reality, please save your money and do not spend it on this lunacy.

Not worth it

Neal_F, Apr 2024

Not really a walking tour Stood in one place 30 minutes of conspiracy theory, then we moved across the street for a little more conspiracy theory , then the tour was done. Not worth it.

Should be advertised as a conspiracy theory tour

Michelle_H, Apr 2024

Matt was enthusiastic and personable, and kudos to him for handling the unprecedented crowd that showed up for the solar eclipse. However, the tour leaned way too hard into conspiracy theories. We had hoped to hear more about the history of the day and of the memorial, but instead we got a disjointed story about LBJ orchestrating the assassination, Marilyn Monroe being murdered after acting as a mafia spy, and several other confusing anecdotes. Certainly the conspiracy theories around the assignation have grown to the point where they’re history-worthy in themselves and should be mentioned, but it was disheartening that they overtook the actual story of the day in this tour.

Too much time standing around

Allen_C, Apr 2024

Matt spent too much time talking about his theory and standing around. It would be better walking around and showing the historical sites.

The guide provided...

Jillian_K, Apr 2024

The guide provided different perspectives of what may have happened and have a lot of related history.

Fun-bit mostly stood around.

Joe_L, Apr 2024

Matt was a great conspiracy theorist and an excellent storyteller. However there was very little walking on this ‘walking’ tour - should advertise it as a ‘talking tour’.

JFK tour in one hour

Yasmin_H, Apr 2024

Matt was a great host! I learned a lot and he is very engaging with his tours. I would recommend this tour if you are short for time. You can get a lot out of it.
