Great tour. Can’t beat... - Great tour. Can’t beat riding around in AC during the Texas summer. My group was actually late because of traffic, the tour allowed us to easily reschedule.

Definitely worth it!!! - We really enjoyed this tour! We had no problem hearing the prerecorded message. There was a lot of information packed into an hour. We learned some things we didn’t know about. It was really interesting following the same path of those that traveled on that fateful day. We went into the museum after the trolley tour to complete the experience. Very interesting!

Good narrative from... - Good narrative from driver. Lots of obscure facts. Loved learning about Officer Tippit and Rudi.
The speaker system for hearing the narrative in the back of the trolley was challenging.

JFK Dalles Tour - The tour was 9o% audio with the driver supplying relevant information as needed. The tour covered 3 topics We traveled the route the president took and why this route was taken… part 2 was about the Lee Harvey Oswald, background, life and escape from Police manhunt while part 3 focused on Jack Ruby… overall very informative which left lots of unanswered questions…

My experience was better few years ago about this tour. That is why I did this tour again to share my visiting family me - My experience was better few years ago about this tour. That is why I did this tour again to share my visiting family members.
It was more political than the experience of dallas.
Last time there was more information about history and information about Dallas than JFK controversial commentary.

Not worth the money - Uncomfortable seats, jerky stops and starts, pre-recorded narrative. Zero personal touch. Hot and sweaty. AC was being turned on and off so you could here the pre-recorded narrative.

Budget tour - I felt badly for the driver/host but this was just so bad! It was a pre recorded tour, the trolly was filthy, and the timing was off. The driver tried her best!
