We really enjoyed this tour. It was very interesting. I really wish we had gone on a day that the museum was open.

Request guide Issac, he was amazing and recommend going on the full walk/drive tour! We learned so much.
Very informative! Isaac was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, patient and friendly! Made the experience fun!
Kenny was a great guide! Informative, friendly and polite plus a sense of humor. He provided a lot of info and questions to think about!
I chose this tour to pass some time before my flight and although I had been to the area before, I had never been with a local tour guide. When you visit with a guide you are exposed to hidden gems, local myths, and obscure details that you didn’t know you didn’t know! Isaac was great. He text me his location for any questions, to ensure I had the meeting point, and was on track to start with the group. Yes, it is a walking tour, but we drove around downtown first to learn more about the history of Dallas, downtown Dallas, and JFK’s route. That was also a needed escape because the temperature and humidity was in full force. We then walked the perimeter of the school book depository, Dealey Plaza, and grassy knoll. Isaac had water and fans, which was awesome! Lastly, we visited Lee Harvey Oswald’s rooming house, JD Pruiit’s memorial, and the Texas theatre. Isaac closed by sending me links to explore more information on the events of that fateful day. Very informative. As a true JFK fan I enjoyed the tour and the social atmosphere. Thanks Isaac!
Enjoyable experience, got to see various sites other than the obvious sites. Learned a lot about the assassination.
The guide was not only knowledgeable but very passionate about the topic. We learned more than we already knew about the event.
Dan is very knowledgeable and passionate about this topic. He’s friendly and easy to communicate with.
As out of towners we knew that going to the Kennedy museum was a priority. But we find out after the fact that you don’t go into the museum , you can drop us off there, but we have the paying additional $50 to you to go into the Museum.. We just didn’t want to take a ride. We wanted to get out and look at things. We sacrificed over $110 to your company and didn’t even take advantage of it because we really didn’t think that the tour was gonna be what we wanted. It didn’t sound anything like we wanted to do that’s why we want we took it upon ourselves to go to the museum. If there was a way that I could get my money back I would very disappointed in the explanations given in the third-party app that you made us take on to buy this package.
Very knowledgeable guide. Great tour. All the key spots were toured and explained in detail. Our guide always answered questions along the way.
We recently took a tour of the JFK assassination site in Dallas, and I wanted to share what a fantastic experience it was. Our guide, Dan, was absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a deep dive into history without having to spend weeks reading through dozens of books, Dan is your person. He has done all the heavy lifting and research, presenting the information in such an engaging, expert way that we felt like we were reliving the journey ourselves. What truly set this tour apart was the depth of the narrative. Dan didn't just cover the events of the day; he provided crucial context regarding the political climate of the era, the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. He also went above and beyond by driving us the entire route Lee Harvey Oswald took after leaving the Book Depository—tracing his path home, the encounter with Officer J.D. Tippit, his movements through the Texas Theatre area, and his eventual arrest. Dan was a master storyteller and a true historian. He was patient, answered all of our questions, and provided a comprehensive experience that was well worth every penny. We booked this through Viator and couldn't be happier with the choice. If you are visiting Dallas and want to truly understand this pivotal moment in American history, I highly recommend booking a tour with Dan. Further, the van was new, clean and comfortably cooled.
No bathroom breaks , only thing but very informative . Very surreal of an experience . Mr Preston was very knowledgeable and very friendly .
We enjoyed our tour with Tim. He was very knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend this JFK tour with Tim.
Very informative. You will learn a lot of information and angles that you have never heard of and Isaac is the best tour guide. We felt lucky to have him and to select this tour.
Interesting but disorganised. At the beginning it was a mess with no one having a clue what bus we were meant to be on. Overall, the guide was good - not excellent. I followed him but quite a few people seemed to have lost interest. I liked going to the key places
John was an excellent tour guide, he shared his wealth of knowledge in an enthusiastic and captivating morning.Can recommend this tour very highly. The Jenkings family from South Africa.
Isaac was passionate about the JFK assassination. He shared facts and asked questions. He mentioned anamolies in the official account and provide references for you to research after and form your own opinion. Engaged the whole time. Air conditioned vehicles. positioned in shady areas when out if the vehicle fit discussions.
Better than expected. Dan was so informative and enthusiastic. He clearly knew his subject matter and was so willing to share and answer questions. Highly recommend
Our tour guide Dan was excellent! He was very informed and keep everyone very engaged! He was a true 20th century historian. You guys don’t want to miss this.
This tour was far more than we ever expected. Issac was amazing - his knowledge, his dedication to insuring that we had the best possible experience was awesome. My husband and I were young teenagers when JFK was assassinated. This tour filled in many, many blanks. We highly recommend it and hope you get Issac as your tour guide.
Absolutely wonderful! John was a wonderful guide, and the amount of information he provided was absolutely amazing! 100 % recommended
We had a terrific time on the JFK Assassination Tour. Tim knows the history of the assassination of JFK inside and out. Thank you, Tim!
I was 8 years old in 1963 and was fascinated by the first major news story that I could try to understand. I always wanted to visit Dealey Plaza and this tour did not disappoint. Anna was an excellent guide, very informative and personable. Standing behind the fence of the grassy knoll and seeing Oswald's rooming house room both gave me chills. Highly recommend!
Extremely interesting tour retracing the tragic events on Nov 22, 1963. Isaac skillfully led an informative and provacative walking tour of the area around Dealey Plaza. Questions were welcome and there was great dialogue. If you have any interest in that horrible tragedy, you will thoroughly enjoy this tour.
The tour was very accommodating for anyone with mobility issues as most of the time was spent in an air conditioned van.
Great tour! John was very knowledgeable and just a likable guy. Very fascinating info. Besides the site of the assassination, it was pretty incredible being taken to the home where Oswald roomed and everything was preserved, along with newspapers and other items from the time.
This tour was excellent in time of event, scope of event, and knowledgeable tour guide. Anna was very welcoming and eager to engage with her guests. There was no aspect of the Kennedy assassination that was not explored and discussed. My wife and I left the experience better informed and motivated to research and explore the historical record and the alternate theories surrounding that sad day's events.
Excellent amount of historical and local information. We learned so much ! The tour was worth every penny.
We really enjoyed the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza / JFK tour in Dallas. It was very informative, and I loved hearing all the historical facts and details throughout the tour. The guide did a great job explaining everything clearly and making the experience interesting from start to finish. It gave us a much deeper understanding of the events and history connected to JFK. Definitely worth doing if you are visiting Dallas/Fort Worth area.
We had Tim as our guide he was very knowledgeable and gave great detail of the event I am now going back to Australia to re watch the documentaries
The tour was really good, we enjoyed it. Parking on the other hand was $18 which is ridiculous and I didnt enjoy that part. The tour was very informative although it parralled perfectly with the info at the 6th floor. I have been to the 6th floor at least 4 times so im pretty well versed with the information given. My biggest gripe is that the tour only spent about 5 min at the boarding house, long enough to snap some photos. I would have enjoyed seeing the theater but we just did a drive by. All in all this was a good experience outside of the cost. For someone who has heard the info before id say its not worth the $55 per person. This is great for those who know very little about JFK and his assassination.
Good history education the tour guide is very noticeable about the history of John F Kennedy and of this event.
Preston was Amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and personable. You can tell he loves this city and the history it beholds. I would definitely recommend and planning to bring others on it in the future.
Our tour guide, Isaac, was friendly, courteous and respectful. He was very knowledgeable about the topic and shared many interesting facts, trivia and conspiratorial information. He was open to questions, input and group discussions. My wife, daughter and I had a very enjoyable and educational time. We recommend it completely.
The tour was super cool! Learned a lot and had fun with our guide. Would highly suggest! The walking tour part of it was my favorite.
John was very knowledgeable on all things JFK. Nice tour - not too long or short. Nice that it was in a van not walking.
Anna was super friendly and knowledgeable. I had a great time and learned a lot. 10/10 recommend this tour!
Isaac was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He offered clear factual information intermixed with popular conspiracy theories and inconsistencies with the investigation. He allows participants the ability to draw their own conclusions and welcomes further research and alternative theories.
We had a great tour with John! He was super knowledgeable and gave us bits and pieces that we didn’t know about.
This tour was so informative and we very much appreciated all of the knowledge that our guide Dan imparted on us. We learned so much and got to see places that we had only experienced in photographs. We highly recommend this tour and very much enjoyed Dan’s passion for history. It made the tour even better! There was so much we didn’t know about Oswald so we walked away better educated about the JFK assassination.
We had a great tour with our brilliant guide Dan. We saw so many historical sites and learned so much. We honestly loved this tour and highly recommend it if you are visiting Dallas. This tour brought the events of November 22, 1963 to life!
Tim is amazing has obviously studied the subject in depth. An absolute last minute surprise for me!! This 2 hour tour was jam-packed with factual, chronological and historical information with an added local insider's perspective that not only educates but leaves one hungry for more...decided to take a chance and would have regretted not doing so. Don't waste a visit in Dallas without this tour.
My mom, dad and I had a great time on the tour. We scheduled last min and didn’t have too much time to read reviews, research, etc. but we left really glad that we chose this tour. Both Dan and Anna were very knowledgeable and passionate about JFK and all that surrounded his assassination. One piece of feedback: I wish the Dan would have learned more about his audience and from there tailor the tour slightly to the base knowledge of his group. Also, I would have loved to spend more time in the Rooming House, that portion of the tour felt rushed.
Guide is practically an expert on the subject. He recommended good books to read that were research backed. I ordered one for the flight home!
DO NOT schedule through Viator. Viator would not reschedule our tour even though they indicated they would contact the contractor. They never did.
Tim is a great guide. He is safe driving downtown and gives a lot of information and insight into the JFK shooting. The only thing I would have liked more would have been to get to experience the Rooming house longer than what seemed like 10 minutes. But really enjoyed the experience overall!
Dan was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Kennedy assignation. I learned new info and felt the trip was a good value.
Good tour, the guide was very knowledgeable of the sequence of events that occurred the day of the assassination and takes time to discuss some of the conflicting theories
This was the best experience! Tim was amazing!!!!! This was by far my favorite thing we have did in the big D!
The host and tour guide was amazing, very full of energy and knowledge, would definitely do it again with another site to visit
