Exceptional Tour and Guide - Tour guide Preston was very knowledgeable and added many details and information regarding the events of November 22, 1963. Preston texted us prior to our tour time with photos of him, the van and the meeting place. He made sure to answer everyone’s questions. 10/10 and well worth the cost.

Tim Hamilton Brings The Receipts - We went on this Tour with Tim Hamilton. Perfect guy for it. Knowledgable and completely invested in it so that you got deep perspectives that someone less schooled would find it hard to replicate.
It almost turns into a murder mystery tracing Lee Harvey Oswald's last steps. Without a doubt the coolest thing I did in Dallas

Fascinating insight and informative tour - On a very wet and stormy morning we ventured out to the JFK memorial to meet our tour guide Tim. As the rest of our party failed to show up due to the bad weather we ended up with a private tour with Tim who clearly knew his facts and was a pleasure to chat with.
Sure everyone has their own thoughts on the assassination but Tim presented enough detail to educate and inform so you could make your own decision.
Tim was knowledgeable and amusing and lead us to the relevant locations that told the story as we know it. Interesting stops on the journey helped to bring the past back to life and some interesting back story to JFK, 1960's American Politics and Oswald helped paint a fuller picture of that day's events.
Highly recommended JFK tour and a big thank you to Tim for making it so memorable.

Highly recommend - even on a raining day! - The tour was very informative and our tour guide John was great! He made us laugh, gave us an incredible amount of information and still we are left wondering who really did it. I highly recommend you check out this tour. Even in the pouring rain it was great.

Dan the Man - This tour was so much more than just an assassination and landmark, it made all the history come to live and threw so many different ideas at all of us. I literally had to get BBQ lunch just to digest how provoking and powerful this tour was. DAN was among the best tour guides I have encountered, and I'm so glad we got him because he made this come to life. Going into the Harvey room was beyond bone-chilling. do yourself a favor and sign-up for this tour first thing when you are in Dallas

Disappointed from the service on the start of tour. tour - I arrived at 1:25 pm as instructed by text message. I went up to the guide to check in he said I was not on his tour. I had to wait for someone else.Thd tour guide PAPALEO GIANCAR called me 5 mins before the tour was about to leave. I was standing feet away from him. He realize I was suppose to be on the tour. I almost missed the tour. He did apologize. I had to wait to get my museum ticket at the end. He did come with me to get the ticket. It put a sour start of the tour.
