Isaac was passionate about the JFK assassination. He shared facts and asked questions. He mentioned anamolies in the official account and provide references for you to research after and form your own opinion. Engaged the whole time. Air conditioned vehicles. positioned in shady areas when out if the vehicle fit discussions.

I was 8 years old in 1963 and was fascinated by the first major news story that I could try to understand. I always wanted to visit Dealey Plaza and this tour did not disappoint. Anna was an excellent guide, very informative and personable. Standing behind the fence of the grassy knoll and seeing Oswald's rooming house room both gave me chills. Highly recommend!

Interesting but...

Jamie_F, Jun 2026
Interesting but disorganised. At the beginning it was a mess with no one having a clue what bus we were meant to be on. Overall, the guide was good - not excellent. I followed him but quite a few people seemed to have lost interest. I liked going to the key places

Learn more about JFK; knowledgeable, passionate host.

Nov 22 Assassenation tour

Lee_S, Apr 2026
Extremely interesting tour retracing the tragic events on Nov 22, 1963. Isaac skillfully led an informative and provacative walking tour of the area around Dealey Plaza. Questions were welcome and there was great dialogue. If you have any interest in that horrible tragedy, you will thoroughly enjoy this tour.

Ginny_G, Apr 2026
The tour was very accommodating for anyone with mobility issues as most of the time was spent in an air conditioned van.

Great Tour!

Aggie_S, Apr 2026
Great tour! John was very knowledgeable and just a likable guy. Very fascinating info. Besides the site of the assassination, it was pretty incredible being taken to the home where Oswald roomed and everything was preserved, along with newspapers and other items from the time.

A Tour of JFK Assassination Professionally Presented

Drew_S, Apr 2026
This tour was excellent in time of event, scope of event, and knowledgeable tour guide. Anna was very welcoming and eager to engage with her guests. There was no aspect of the Kennedy assassination that was not explored and discussed. My wife and I left the experience better informed and motivated to research and explore the historical record and the alternate theories surrounding that sad day's events.

A must see in Dallas

We really enjoyed the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza / JFK tour in Dallas. It was very informative, and I loved hearing all the historical facts and details throughout the tour. The guide did a great job explaining everything clearly and making the experience interesting from start to finish. It gave us a much deeper understanding of the events and history connected to JFK. Definitely worth doing if you are visiting Dallas/Fort Worth area.

We had a great tour with our brilliant guide Dan. We saw so many historical sites and learned so much. We honestly loved this tour and highly recommend it if you are visiting Dallas. This tour brought the events of November 22, 1963 to life!

Don't Miss

Mary_P, Dec 2025
Tim is amazing has obviously studied the subject in depth. An absolute last minute surprise for me!! This 2 hour tour was jam-packed with factual, chronological and historical information with an added local insider's perspective that not only educates but leaves one hungry for more...decided to take a chance and would have regretted not doing so. Don't waste a visit in Dallas without this tour.

My mom, dad and I had a...

Nikole_N, Nov 2025
My mom, dad and I had a great time on the tour. We scheduled last min and didn’t have too much time to read reviews, research, etc. but we left really glad that we chose this tour. Both Dan and Anna were very knowledgeable and passionate about JFK and all that surrounded his assassination. One piece of feedback: I wish the Dan would have learned more about his audience and from there tailor the tour slightly to the base knowledge of his group. Also, I would have loved to spend more time in the Rooming House, that portion of the tour felt rushed.

Excellent tour

Jennifer_D, Nov 2025
Guide is practically an expert on the subject. He recommended good books to read that were research backed. I ordered one for the flight home!

No Viator.

Dennis_S, Nov 2025
DO NOT schedule through Viator. Viator would not reschedule our tour even though they indicated they would contact the contractor. They never did.

Excellent

Ashley_K, Nov 2025
Tim is a great guide. He is safe driving downtown and gives a lot of information and insight into the JFK shooting. The only thing I would have liked more would have been to get to experience the Rooming house longer than what seemed like 10 minutes. But really enjoyed the experience overall!

A must do in Dallas!

Vanessa_M, Nov 2025
This was the best experience! Tim was amazing!!!!! This was by far my favorite thing we have did in the big D!
