The John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza was dedicated June 24, 1970. In the years since, it has become an integral part of the city’s urban landscape and cultural heritage.
Dealey Plaza is a city park in the West End. It is sometimes called the "birthplace of Dallas". It also was the location of the assassination of President Kennedy, on November 22, 1963
The assassination, assumed to be by Lee Harvey Oswald, is one of the most discussed and speculated unsolved mysteries of our time will take you to the world of conspiracy, where you may look out over Dealey Plaza (JFK Assassination), Grassy Knoll, and the Kennedy Memorial.
This is the rooming house Lee Harvey Oswald was staying at during the time of the assassination of President Kennedy.
Oswald was arrested here while calmly watching a movie.
John F. Kennedy and the Memory of a Nation – the core exhibit on the sixth floor – is a self-guided experience. Using the audio guide included with admission, it takes about 90 minutes to go through the exhibit if you listen to everything. The seventh floor occasionally holds temporary exhibits, and exploring those will add a bit of time to your Museum visit.
Really great tour! Preston was super knowledgeable and gave us all the information - the history, the conspiracy theories - everything! It was really great to see all the places you read about and hear the story while you see it.
we had a great time! Dan is very knowledgeable and passionate about the Kennedy shooting and he captured our interest and attention through out the tour. highly recommend this experience!
Isaac was an amazing tour guide! full of Infomation - whether fact or possible alternatives in theJFK assignation…. A lot to think about and looki into
We had a great experience with our tour guide. He had a ton of knowledge and could tell he had ton research and deep dives around not only the assignation but also the life of Lee Harvey Oswald. Tour was worth it
Our guide Tim Hamilton was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. He really had the groups attention and knew what he was doing. Excellent experience. Thank you! Steve and Lisa Jorgenson
It will make you think about what we have been told about the murder of JFK AND LEE HARVEY THE MOM AND CIA/FBI INVOLMENT
Isaac was a great host, full of knowledge and humor! Kept us questioning all of the facts! I realized I didn’t know as much as I thought I did and can’t wait to keep digging! If you get the chance to take this tour I think you should definitely choose to do so!
Our guide Preston was excellent, extremely knowledgeable. Loved the visit to the boarding house. Would definitely recommend
Dan was the best guide and it was super informative. Unless you have bee on the ground where it happened you cant believe what you have read or heard until you see it for yourself.
John was a great guide - knowledgeable, interesting, and funny. John made the tour.
Be prepared to receive a load of information you never knew about this horrible event in our nation’s history. Our guide Preston was absolutely magnificent!!
We all enjoyed the tour and our guide Tim was outstanding in providing a lot of interesting information about the JFK assassination.
Our guide, Kenny, was great and very knowledgeable
Kinney did a fabulous job sharing the history and exploring various theories. He is friendly and engaging making the tour fun.
This was a great tour. Tim as the tour guide did an awesome job - I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the Dallas area.
John was our guide. He was excellent! Everything was on time, and we were given time to experience, explore and observe!
Great time with Kinney! Very informative, very knowledgeable, and he clearly has a passion for being an amazing tour guide!!! It was wild to be where it happened 😳 and I learned so much! So worth adding to your list of things to do in Dallas
Dan gave us an outstanding tour. Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Saw and learned information I had never known before. The tour was above and beyond our expectations.
Kinney was amazing!! Not only was he full of knowledge, he was a great conversationalist as well! Fantastic experience!!
Great time. Very informative. My family and I enjoyed the tour very much. Tim answered all our questions.
I highly recommend this tour. Dan is a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide and he’s truly passionate about history. The tour brings you through the series of events just before to just after JFK’s assassination. I doubt you will find a more thorough coverage. I have been to Dealey Plaza before but wished I had done an informative tour like this sooner. Make sure Dan is your tour guide. My 10-year-old son was engaged and listening through the entire tour as well, it really held his attention.
Isaac did a great job in explaining everything. He’s so knowledgeable and friendly!! Thank you for a great tour.
JFK tour was amazing and our tour guide Dan was so knowledgeable! He did an amazing job!! We did the 3hr tour.
The tour was great! The thing that made it great was our tour guide and his vast knowledge. His name was Preston with Fun Dallas Tours.
The tour guide Preston was very informative and keen to share his knowledge of JFK's assassination and the events that followed. It would have been nice to walk on the grassy knoll as part of the tour but I had time afterwards to do this.
John was very informative and led a great tour! I was always very interested in JFK and this made me want to dive in even deeper.
This was one of the best tours I have ever been on! Isaac was the tour guide and he was so knowledgeable, passionate, interesting, and most of all, DIPLOMATIC about the information he presented. He encouraged us to do our own research and keep an open mind, whether you believed Oswald acted alone or was part of an illicit plan. Although it is a somber tour, Isaac was engaging, friendly, and polite. Thanks to Viator and Isaac for an unforgettable experience. RIP JFK
Excellent. Learned information I had not known Made so much of the history make sense a fantastic way to experience a pivotal point in our country
Issac was our tour guide. Very informative and entertaining! He remembered ALL 14 of the customers names on the tour. Impressive!
Myself & two friends booked the JFK assassination tour, meeting at 10am at the JFK memorial & boy this did not disappoint. It turns out Dan would be our guide and for the next 3.5 hours & he completed made this trip worth it. Dan’s knowledge or the JFK assassination was really impressive. The passion from his story telling was really infectious. My Friends were over the moon also with him. I would encourage anyone to do this trip whilst in Dallas.
John Carlo was awesome and very informative and easy to understand and took the time to explain and gave us time to explore.
Had a good time. Our guide John was very informative and funny. A lot of time spent in the different locations. There was a severe weather warning and some help with this matter would have been helpful from the organisers (not John).
Preston did such a great job telling us the historical facts surrounding the JFK assassination, as well as setting the scene- helping us to understand Dallas socially and politically on that day and thereafter.
Mixed feelings about this tour. I was really looking forward to it and of course the major sights are there for all to see. That part of it was great. I wasnt keen on our guide. I believe his name was Orlando. He came across as very sarcastic and was a little eager to give his opinions. That's not what we were there for. There wasnt too much of a coherent plan about where we'd be going and what we'd be doing for how long. In the van we got and just drove. This coupled with the point where he held a laptop up so we could hear a barely audible YouTube clip...it just all seemed a little haphazard. The rooming house was the highlight for us and obviously the plaza and grassy knoll but we could have done that ourselves to be honest. Possibly an off day going by other reviews and possibly guides but I wouldn't recommend.
We had some idea on the event that happen but after doing this tour with our guide John and his knowledge of this event and the timeline on how it took place before and after the shooting. The museum was great way to finish off the tour as we could place what we learn prior to viewing. Highly recommend
Dan was great! He was very knowledgeable and very good at interacting with everyone on his tour.
Preston was incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to experience this tour with. I’m not easily impressed, but he is the real deal. As both a historian and a local, he brings the events, the people, and the stories to life with a depth of understanding that makes it feel as though he lived them himself.
My guide, Anna, was amazingly knowledgeable. I was impressed!
This tour was informative and we were so pleased to have John as a tour guide - he was excellent. He had so much information. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
We really got a lot out of this tour with Isaac. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the trip. We learnt so much about the tragic event and the circumstances surrounding it. A must do when you're in Dallas
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Preston was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly answer any question. This tour should not be missed.
Tim was a great tour guide and knows a ton of interesting facts and theories. It was really convenient to have the bus take us around to see all the related sites rather than walk in the heat. Highly recommend this tour.
Tim the tour guide was very knowledgeable on the events surrounding the assassination. He actually told us some things that we hadn’t heard before.
Whatever you think about that fateful day this tour will explain and explore several options in a very informative way. However one slight disappointment waa that although we passed the house at 214 W Neely st, where LHO lived with Marina we didn't stop even for a few minutes for a photo. And the location where the police officer waa killed by Oswald. The movie theatre waa passed but we didn't stop. Perhaps time was an issue.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. Great tour! We learned so much we didn’t know
Absolutely superb tour, Anna, brilliant guide, informative, great knowledge Couldn't fault any aspect.
Our tour guide ,Dan, met us on time at the meeting point. Right from the start, it was a flow of non-stop information about Kennedy, Oswald and the assassination. Little tidbits of information that we’d not heard before made the history come alive. We drove Oswald’s escape route from the Book Depository to where he was apprehended after he shot and killed Officer Tippit. Never knew that. Several other facts were revealed as well. We were able to go inside the boarding house Oswald was living in just before the assassination. We drove the route Kennedy took to Dealey Plaza and got out and looked around. We viewed the grassy knoll. It looks different in person and you can make our own judgement about the theories that have circulated for years. Dan was very knowledgeable about the entire area and subject. He is a historian as well as a tour guide with a very deep seated passion for the subject. It is very refreshing to have a guide that is so passionate about he’s talking about. During his part of the tour, he made the history truly come alive. After his part was done, he drove us to the Book Depository. The tickets were included with the tour price so it was very well worth it. He dropped us off close to 1pm. We didn’t leave the museum until close to 4 pm. There was just so much to see, read and experience up there. I would highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky enough to have Dan as your guide, you’re in for a wonderful time.
We booked the JFK Assassination tour with JFK Museum and Oswald’s Rooming House. Dan was our tour guide. He is very passionate about his knowledge on JFK. He has spent his entire life researching the JFK Assassination. You will walk away from the tour with learning so much. If you are lucky to have Dan then you won’t be disappointed. Great Experience.
Worth the money if Preston is the guide. All you want to know. Museums included. Go early walk around yourself too
It inspired me to read up more.
