Highlights
- Fun Dallas Tours - This two-hour tour takes you into the world of JFK conspiracy, where you may look out over Dealey Plaza where JFK was assassinated.
Theories say that the single-bullet with evidence from the Zapruder film was indicated from the Grassy Knoll that was responsible for Kennedy’s fatal head wound. Visit the simple, concrete memorial to President Kennedy, designed by architect Philip Johnson, which called it “a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth.”
Finally, make a stop at the historic Texas Movie Theater in Oak Cliff, a beautiful and historic area of downtown Dallas. It gained historical significance on November 22, 1963 as the location of Lee Harvey Oswald´s arrest for the killing of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit. Today, it hosts a mix of repertory cinema and special events.

A definite recommender when in Dallas - I can definitely recommend this tour. Our tour guide was so kind to share facts combined with theories, but still respecting everyone's opinion on the events that happened that sad day. It's good to have some background knowledge on the main actors of the event, which gives the opportunity to understand their connection to certain people and side events better. Nevertheless, it's worth seeing historic locations like this, and maybe there's a bonus included, depending on the tour guide. There's of course plenty of room for questions and discussion.

Excellent! Thorough and fun. - Our guide, Matt, was really good at his job. He was personable and knowledgeable, and despite having had an extremely busy week, when most people might have been tempted to just phone it in, he gave us a truly thorough tour, even making sure we got to visit more sites than we had expected.
Highly recommended.

Imformative and a bit creepy due to visiting a murders dwelling - Seeing a deadman’s rooming house and the ride around downtown
The driver was entertaining too. I’m done

An education! - It was amazing to see this site. To see the real thing after more than sixty years was special. Ivan was an excellent guide, well informed, articulate and with so many facts at his fingertips. His summary made lots of sense. Who really killed JFK? We will probably never know!

A wonderful experience! - A wonderful tour! Our guide, John, was so friendly and knowledgeable about the events that took place on that fateful day. He had a wealth of information! It was great to be at the very location and walk around and see all the things that I had seen on TV as a little girl. But after all these years, still so many unanswered questions! Visiting Oswald’s boarding house was fantastic. I could have stayed there for hours looking at everything. Really nothing unchanged from back then. It was unreal to think I was standing in the very place where Oswald lived and returned to after he shot JFK. I could go on and on about this great tour and our guide. Thank you John!

Not worth the $ - It was raining, and they blamed the whole thing on the rain, but it wasn't the rain that made it a bad experience. I paid over 100.00 for two of us, and all we did was walk one block from the JFK Memorial, where we met the tour, to the grassy knoll. The gentleman who narrated the tour was good, but it was supposed to be a car tour, and just having somebody narrate some historic bits while standing around, wasn't worth $100.00. When we first got to the meeting place, there were three white vans, and nobody knew where to go for the different tours. It was chaotic, and disorganized. They should've had signs. So much time was wasted, we didn't even have time to go to the Rooming House, which was part of the tour. I felt like we were cheated. Very disappointing.
