Fascinating tour !

Very interesting tour. Guide was fascinating!!! The museum is a must! I highly recommending to book this tour.

Excellent tour and would recommend to all.

Lisa_R, Apr 2024

Fascinating tour and John, our guide, was extremely informative and funny. He provided an amazing amount of information and encouraged conversation amongst the group and for everyone to come to their own conclusion. From the assassination and Book Depository sight and then to drive the actual route with commentary. Seeing the boarding house (Oswald's bedroom), followed by where the police officer was killed and then the theatre and finally the Museum wrapped up a very interesting fun tour. Thank you John.

JFK full tour

Jennifer_S, Apr 2024

We had a very knowledgeable tour guide who brought the story to life of the locations that we visited related to JFK’s assassination

Exceptional Tour and Guide

Tracey_M, Apr 2024

Tour guide Preston was very knowledgeable and added many details and information regarding the events of November 22, 1963. Preston texted us prior to our tour time with photos of him, the van and the meeting place. He made sure to answer everyone’s questions. 10/10 and well worth the cost.

Take this Tour you won't be disapointed!

ashley_B, Apr 2024

Preston Richards was an awesome tour guide. His depth of knowledge on this topic went beyond the typical conspiracy theories circulating. I learned so much and highly recommend this tour when in Dallas. You won't be disappointed.

Fascinating insight and informative tour

On a very wet and stormy morning we ventured out to the JFK memorial to meet our tour guide Tim. As the rest of our party failed to show up due to the bad weather we ended up with a private tour with Tim who clearly knew his facts and was a pleasure to chat with. Sure everyone has their own thoughts on the assassination but Tim presented enough detail to educate and inform so you could make your own decision. Tim was knowledgeable and amusing and lead us to the relevant locations that told the story as we know it. Interesting stops on the journey helped to bring the past back to life and some interesting back story to JFK, 1960's American Politics and Oswald helped paint a fuller picture of that day's events. Highly recommended JFK tour and a big thank you to Tim for making it so memorable.

Disappointed from the service on the start of tour. tour

Carmela_W, Apr 2024

I arrived at 1:25 pm as instructed by text message. I went up to the guide to check in he said I was not on his tour. I had to wait for someone else.Thd tour guide PAPALEO GIANCAR called me 5 mins before the tour was about to leave. I was standing feet away from him. He realize I was suppose to be on the tour. I almost missed the tour. He did apologize. I had to wait to get my museum ticket at the end. He did come with me to get the ticket. It put a sour start of the tour.

Eventful and mind-blowing

Michael_M, Apr 2024

Brings closer to my seeing every piece of this devastating and mesmerizing event in our history. Starting with JFK's Presidential auto in Dearborn, his Air Force One in Ohio the tour of all event sites in Dallas. May JFK rest in Peace 🙏.

Completely a must if your in Dallas

Janet_S, Apr 2024

Dan the tour guide was not only informative but revealed information that was thought provoking . Astonishing amount of detail and really captured the assassination and helped you understand the tragedy completely

Brilliant!

Marina_O, Apr 2024

Ivan is a very knowledgeable tour guide. I learned a lot about that tragic event in the history of the United States. It was pure pleasure to spend three hours with a person who so much loves what he does. I will recommend him and this tour to all my friends.

JFK Assassination Tour - Informative and thought provoking!!!

Glenn_G, Apr 2024

I really enjoyed the 1-hour walking tour portion best. Being in Dealey Plaza while Ivan (very good and knowledgeable guide) was able to explain the events of that tragic day and then talk on the points of evidence vs the myths. He also talked about the different theories about what happened and pointed out problems with some of the theories. Using his words now, “I’m going to give you so much information, it’ll be like trying to drink from a fire hose.” He lived up to his words! While he did share his opinions along with the information, he didn’t force any of them on the group. He left it open for you to come to your own conclusion(s).

Amazing!

Ellen_H, Apr 2024

This was an amazing tour! We learned so much we didn't already know. Tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Only downfall was no bathrooms through the entire tour so go before you go!

Jules_L, Apr 2024

Outstanding tour with Dan, our guide. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the JFK assassination and the places we toured.

A Dallas Must-See Tour

Lisa_B, Apr 2024

It was interesting to see the location of the assassination. It was a treat to see the boarding house too. Dan was very passionate about the event and was very likable.

Great Tour with Ivan.

Dennis_S, Apr 2024

The guide, Ivan, was terrific with his depth of knowledge and facts about the case, and also his enthusiastic and entertaining presentation. The only problem was the tickets for museum were delayed a couple of hours from the original time due to some mixup. Still, all in all, a very enjoyable tour.

Fantastic JFK Assassination Tour!

Daren_F, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Ivan was not only super knowledgeable, but he had personal connections to the JFK story that he shared which added another layer of depth to our experience. The walk thru of Dealy Plaza was very complete. The Oswald boarding house was great, especially since we got to meet the granddaughter of the original owner who actually knew Oswald. Overall a great tour and experience!!!

Great comprehensive tour!

Craig_C, Apr 2024

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide. Highlight was meeting Pat, the granddaughter of the owner of the boarding house Oswald lived in. She still lives there!
