This was a really good, informative tour. Our tour guide Evan was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly.

The Ultimate JFK assasination tour

Rebecca_F, Apr 2024

Viator certifies its tour operators. This was clear when we met John. He gave us a coherent and clear walk through the events of that tragic date. It included the motorcade route, where Jack Ruby was shot, and the ensuing route that Lee Harvey Oswald took to flee. We were able to go inside the rooming house where he stayed, and even met the granddaughter of the owner of the home, who now lives there. Lee Harvey Oswald played with her when she was an 11 year old girl. It ended at the 6th floor museum in the book depository in Dealey Plaza with more information given to us at on the “grassy knoll.” I cannot recommend this tour enough. I had some ideas about what happened that day, and had done extensive reading. John walked us through the crime as we toured and learned so much I didn’t know. John was able to engage us all and answer questions. I have nothing but praise for his expertise, kindness, and professionalism. I’d like to return with my husband and hope that John is our tour guide again. I want to add that if you go to Dealey Plaza be wary of people purporting to be experts. They want your money and most of them don’t have the expertise that Viator’s tour operators do.

Great experience despite the weather

Sheila_H, Apr 2024

Took this tour in an absolute downpour and thunderstorm. Despite the terrible weather conditions, our tour guide, John Papaleo, was wonderful. He was upbeat, very engaging, most knowledgeable of the history of the assassination, and his Italian accent was delightful. I just wish the weather had cooperated because we were so looking forward to this tour. We learned a lot but nice weather would have made it so much more enjoyable.

Excellent. Would recommend to anyone!!!

Amanda_E, Apr 2024

John, our narrator, was extremely knowledgeable about the events leading up to the assassination. He made the tour interesting and fun. The x marks in the road from each shot was neat to see. The museum had a lot of interesting history as well.

So you think Oswald did it ? Hmmm.

Dan_R, Apr 2024

If you are even marginally interested in the JFK assassination you must go on this tour! I have been waiting 60+ years to get to Dallas and Dealy PLaza . This tour was perfect for anyone who wants to learn some interesting facts about that day 11/22/63 . I am not an expert on the assassination but have read a 'few' books which supported various theories. I do have my own theory. After taking this tour you will probably come to some theory of your own. Our driver Tim was phenomenal !! If you can request him as your driver do it. I don't want to spoil it by telling you the ' what and where ' of the whole tour but one can't help but be very surprised by the end of the drive. The 6th floor Museum was our last stop. It is an exceptional collection of JFK memorabilia.

Wet knowledgeable

Peggy_O, Apr 2024

I thought the tour was so informative and very interesting and you never got boarded anytime. I really enjoyed all the places he took us to.

You will learn much more than you think

Michelle_M, Apr 2024

The Viator guide was friendly and informative. He encouraged us to ask questions and to consider the different possibilities, which made it interesting. The three hour tour went by very fast, and there were unexpected surprises such as visiting Oswald’s living quarters

Great tour! Museums meh

Frances_B, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Orlando was knowledgeable, funny and personable. He made the whole experience! He was continually telling us facts and answering our questions. Oswald s rooming house was mildly interesting but the 6th floor was not worthwhile

I went with my parents...

Briana_S, Apr 2024

I went with my parents for my dad’s birthday and it was so much better than we could have anticipated! Being that it was even more than just the museum made it more enjoyable and entertaining and it was honestly one of the best experiences. Our tour guide Preston was super knowledgeable and engaging and made the experience fun for all ages that were there, you can tell that he is passionate about what he does and it makes everyone feel more involved. This was a great tour and I would definitely recommend taking your friends or family!

Excellent guide. Friendly...

Shannon_G, Mar 2024

We had a great time on this tour. It was very interesting and our tour guide gave lots of insights on that day. Well worth the money for the whole tour.

So many conspiracies?!?!

Rebecca_V, Mar 2024

Tim was awesome. I had done the tour before and he had a whole other perspective and information that I hadn’t heard on the first tour a few years ago. Highly recommend. Way better than Dan the Man 🤣. The museum was very interesting. Took my friend 3 hours. I was probably done in one.

Great Storytelling

Bryan_C, Jan 2024

Our guide John was a true historian. Great grasp of all of the various plot lines. He is also a great storyteller. Really enjoyed the afternoon.

Great tour

Kevin_G, Dec 2023

Great time!! Preston had great knowledge of the history of JFK. Very interesting. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour

Amentia_J, Nov 2023

The overall experience was outstanding on my second time taking the tour. It was very memorable because of it being the 60th Anniversary and getting to see Ms Pat in person. Our tour guide Tim was amazing! Thank

Take this tour!

Paul_H, Nov 2023

Tim gave us an excellent walking and van tour. Since my wife and I had been to the assassination sight many times before, we found the entrance to Oswald boarding house was very interesting and something that had not visited on other trips. Tim presented many theories about the assassination including possible CIA involvement. It gave the group a lot to think about, that would then enable them to make their own decisions regarding those four tragic historic four days in American history.

Excellent Coverage of the Assasination

William_W, Nov 2023

Tim was superb and knew the background details very well. The highlight of the trip may have been meeting the owner of Oswald’s rooming house who knew him when he lived there

The tour was great. It...

Our guide John was fabulous! I think it really makes a difference who takes you in a tour. John kept us all engaged and interested every step of the way. We stopped at interesting view points and locations where he told us fascinating facts about that fateful day. Oswald’s Rooming house was made more special as we met the owner of the house who still lives there and knew Oswald (at the time she was 11 years old). We finished up the museum which is must see! Overall a very informative tour and I’m so glad we did it! I’d do it again !!! Thank you John
