This hour long tour was a perfect recap of the events of the historical shooting. Live audio was heard and followed the path the trolley was taking. Driver was great and informative. She stopped so we could take pictures.

Very informative. I learned a lot and loved the historical recordings. The tour motivated me to want to learn even more. The tour bus was comfortable and the guide was easy to understand.

    Had an amazing experience on the JFK tour. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate the entire time. She shared so many interesting details and stories that really brought the history to life and kept everyone interested from start to finish. Her energy, professionalism, and ability to answer questions made the tour feel personal and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting and wanting a deeper understanding of JFK and the history surrounding him.

    A great way to see the highlights of the city and to learn the history of JFK. Good value for money and the perfect length of time. My only complaint was that the audio recordings were far too loud and poor quality.

    Great Trip, Highly Recommended!

    Debra_T, May 2026
    Lisa was great, gave us lots of information and we both learnt a lot. Great to see some of the parts of the story we would not necessarily have been aware of. We thought we knew the story of that day but we definitely didn't and felt we never would of without this trip.

    Very good over view of the events of the day, both before and after. However, if you’re looking for conspiracies, it’s probably not for you.

    Bessie the Trolly was comfortable and Dana was a great tour guide. The tour was just the right length, driving by various locations from November 1963. We visited in April, so the temperature was good.

    It was very informative. It was very deep and moving. We thoroughly enjoyed the book depository. We learned a lot about the life of JFK.

    Our trip was cut short...

    Summer_M, Apr 2026
    Our trip was cut short due to a bus mechanical issue. They gave us tickets for the city tour but we had time restraints and couldn’t do it. We’ve requested a refund but no one has contacted us.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    A coolant leak happened on the trolley and we arranged for another trolley to pick everyone up And take the tour. We work very hard to provide the best experience. A 2 star review of an issue that was out of our control seems a bit unfair.
