Perfect for a Sunday morning when there was no traffic. The audio was perfect and very educational.

With the political drama in Texas, JFK worried that his reception in Dallas might be frosty. Just that morning he saw a huge anti-Kennedy ad in the local newspaper. He warned Jackie You know we’re heading into nut country today.
The 1964 election, of course! JFK knew that Texas would be essential to winning a second term. And in 1963, Texas Democrats were squabbling amongst themselves. Kennedy figured a quick trip to the Lone Star State might smooth things out. And besides, it’d be nice to escape the chilly Washington weather!
At 12:38, just minutes after Oswald fired his three shots, the motorcade screeches to a halt at Parkland. Secret Service agents and hospital staff rush Kennedy into Trauma Room One. A young surgeon named Malcolm Perry begins working on the president. As he begins to operate, Dr. Perry has a strange thought Here is the most important man in the world

Loved the idea of a self-driving tour as we took one in Hawaii that was amazing. However, this particular tour in Dallas was a bit underwhelming. The ease of using the app was fine, but the whole time, the recording kept looping. The narration would start, then stop and start over. There was also lots of construction going on in the area, and we never got to see the “x” on the street where President Kennedy was shot nor finish the loop to the hospital where he was taken because the app directed us to take highway 35E but there is a 35E North and South and apparently we took the wrong one because the tour stopped. It would have been helpful if the directions were more clear as in “Take interstate 35E North” or Take Interstate 35E South.” We also could not visit the 6th floor of the book depository where Oswald took aim because we took this tour on Tuesday and it’s only open Wednesday - Sunday. This is no fault of the app itself, but it would be nice if this could be made known during the booking process in case those who would like to see that as part of the driving tour can book accordingly.
Very educational exciting the time of events were our exact time of the tour what a coincidence. Easy to follow route the app easily uploaded and follow if you turn off easily find your way back. Definitely worth the money and time. Love convenience of tour in our car …
Really cool background info about JFK’s assassination. Also just a great tour of the city if nothing else. If you want to see the actual spot the guy shot from you have to pay for parking and a museum ticket. There were two places where the directions he gave were slightly confusing, but if you look at the map you can figure it out. Other than those two spots though the directions were super helpful. He gives the perfect amount of time between each stop so that you can hear everything.
The tour was informative. I liked the autoplay feature, but for some reason, it would restart after a few seconds each time it auto-played the next message. By the fourth track it became quite annoying. Some messages seemed almost too long to get through before the next began as they are geographically triggered to play when you reach a certain spot. Driving in downtown Dallas is already stressful. Add in the interruption of navigation messages between the historical stories, coupled with three-second-repeat, and you’ve got a nice soup of aggravation.
It was a great audio tour but the design doesn't account for road closures. The main part of the route was closed so we ended up going to the museum instead. It was great until it didn't work anymore since I couldn't drive the actual route.
The self guided tour was perfect! We were able to take this tour on our own time and go as fast/slow as needed to accommodate traffic and the road conditions. Very informative information in the audio recordings. Narrator spoke very clearly and at a good speed. Loved how it was hands free and would play as you got to certain sections on the route.

We really enjoyed the self guided tour. Having a co-pilot assist with directions was helpful as a turn or two snuck up on us, but we were focused on the site seeing and all the traffic. What we liked was that you got to drive the entire parade route and the route afterwards to the hospital. Afterwards we came back around and stopped at the assassination site using a nearby parking garage. I would 100% recommend this tour as it was 97 degrees out and we got to do it from the comfort of our air conditioned car at our pace. Well done!
We loved this! It was so cool to have things narrated in real time as you were driving past them! We didn’t know how it supposed to work since we didn’t receive directions initially but we figured it out. The audio was pretty glitchy and kept repeating itself at the beginning of each Narrated section. We worked through it and really enjoyed the tour!
Absolutely loved it. If you want to do a tour but also on a budget and or just don’t want to ride a bus with a bunch of other people this is great. The narration was great and it was spot on with certain land marks made our family feel like we were actually there!
This app struggled with the navigation/directions from the very beginning at Love Field and it only got worse in downtown. The Annoyingly Condescending Narrator wants to tell a story at every opportunity. These monologues delayed the navigation instructions that suddenly announced partially fragmented guidance apparently wanting you to turn while you going through the middle of an intersection. Rinse and repeat. (Example: “…… creek” meant turn right on Turtle Creek). At least the map worked. This problem got worse as we entered downtown. I assume it had something to do with the tall buildings interfering with the GPS reception. If this assumption is true, then why bother offering it for use in a downtown area? I turned the app off once we were on Main St. since I knew the remainder of the route from memory. That was my best decision of the day.
What a great tour guide. Helped a lot with exploring the area. We did not expect so much information. The narrator was also great and kept the tour entertaining.
My husband and I liked the tour. This tour is a good start to getting familiar around the city. The traffic was ok-ok, so we could at least park and get out of the car to click a few pictures. The tour was great. Just be aware of the traffic.
Informative and engaging tour and offers a deep dive into history guiding you through key locations with detailed narration. A perfect way to leam about this pivotal moment in U.S history.
