Top Dallas Food Tours

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.

This walking tour is a MUST do to experience Texas food. Stephen made the experience quite memorable – he was animated, engaged and knowledgeable. First, we met at Pecan Lodge and had delicious "Cowboy style" BBQ brisket & pickles. Second, we went to Revolver taco lounge for a tasty fresh taco. Third was Angry Dog for chili with cheese, sour cream & Fritos. Fourth we walked towards the "Awakening statue" to talk about the symbol of Deep Ellum neighborhood & the Traveling Man. Tons of murals painted on buildings. Fifth we got to choose a old style soda from Rocket Fizz Candy store (100’s of flavors). Lastly, we went to Terry Black’s barbecue and you could choose banana pudding or pecan pie BOTH were amazing!

We had a very informative tour with Preston as our guide. We know a lot of information about the Kennedy assassination and have visited some of the tour sights previously. However, we learned new interesting information about this momentous and tragic day. Seeing the boarding house where Lee Harvey Oswald stayed and how the day unfolded on his end was also fascinating. Preston was a wonderful guide who brought the day to life. Highly recommend this tour. The tour starts at the Kennedy Memorial and ends at the Book Depository Museum.
