In depth JFK comprehensive tour - Had been to the JFK museum in the Texas Book Depository many years ago. This trip I was interested in a real tour that included the Book Depository as well as Dealey Plaza, Oswald’s rooming house, the place where Officer JD Tippet was murder Ed and the Texas Movie Theater.
This is one of the best tours we’ve had. Our tour guide was Dan. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a real passion for the life and death of JFK. His passion is palpable.
We took the morning tour at 10 on a Thursday. There were 2 other people who were with us but their tour was a short one that did not include the extras I mentioned above. Essentially we had a private tour by a true lover of 20th century American history.
If you have the time take the longer tour. I don’t imagine that the boarding house that Oswald lived at will be around forever. It’s a step back right into 1960.
Dan, we loved your tour!!!!

A trip to the past guided by a knowledgeable tour guide. - Our tour guide, Preston, was great. As a long-time native of Dallas, he took us to various points of interest such as Dealey Square with the "Grassy Knoll" (pictured) and former Book Depository, the JFK memorial, and various hangouts of Oswald, and related the history of their importance. He discussed the mood of Dallas before and after the assassination and mentioned some of the various alternative theories that are believed by some about the assassination. A very enlightening tour.

Awesome 1st time in Dallas - Our tour guide, John, was very knowledgeable about the history of the JFK assassination and was very enthusiastic to share it with us. Make sure to eat and drink and use the restroom prior to the tour because it is legit 2 1/2hrs in the van.

Very organized, professional and thought provoking. - Organization prior to our trip was excellent, Tim sent a selfie and vehicle details. There were 6 people total, bus was comfortable and cool considering it was over 100 on the day!
Tim’s knowledge, passion and professionalism made the tour memorable. Tim provided us with facts that we didn’t know about.
The tour exceeded all our expectations.
We would highly recommend this tour.

GREAT TOUR! Who done it? - Tim was the best!!!! So knowledgeable. I left full of information and a desire to still learn more! This tour is a must do. After the driving/walking tour, for me the museum was only ok. The best parts of the museum were the "window" and the videos. Somber.
