We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! It was incredibly educational, but wasn’t Dry or boring. Scott was so knowledgeable and the sights we saw made us feel like we were there that day. We learned so much we hadn’t known about Lee Harvey Oswald. It changed our opinion of who was responsible for JFK’s death. We HIGHLY recommend this tour with Scott!

The guide kevin was great. It was very interesting and informative. We learned alot. Only thing was we didnt get into Oswald rooming house because someone had covid in there, but not the fault of the guide. Everything else was great.
Response from Host, Oct 2021

I haven’t ever enjoyed learning about history as much as I did with Kevin. He answered every question we came up with and made the tour engaging and an absolute blast! I do blame him for spending the last 24 hours researching JFK conspiracy theories though! Ha! Loved every second!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
So happy to hear that you loved every second! Please come see us again next time you are in Dallas.
