It was just okay

Andrea_J, Nov 2025

Loved the idea of a self-driving tour as we took one in Hawaii that was amazing. However, this particular tour in Dallas was a bit underwhelming. The ease of using the app was fine, but the whole time, the recording kept looping. The narration would start, then stop and start over. There was also lots of construction going on in the area, and we never got to see the “x” on the street where President Kennedy was shot nor finish the loop to the hospital where he was taken because the app directed us to take highway 35E but there is a 35E North and South and apparently we took the wrong one because the tour stopped. It would have been helpful if the directions were more clear as in “Take interstate 35E North” or Take Interstate 35E South.” We also could not visit the 6th floor of the book depository where Oswald took aim because we took this tour on Tuesday and it’s only open Wednesday - Sunday. This is no fault of the app itself, but it would be nice if this could be made known during the booking process in case those who would like to see that as part of the driving tour can book accordingly.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Andrea, thanks for sharing such a thoughtful review of my Dallas JFK Assassination Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour. I’m glad the app was easy to use, though I apologize for the looping audio and confusion with the directions. Following the correct highway route is crucial for the GPS to stay in sync, and I will pass your feedback about adding clearer “North/South” prompts to my team so we can make this even smoother. You also made a great point about the 6th Floor Museum hours — I’ll make sure that detail is noted in the listing to help future travelers plan better. If you’d like, please contact me directly; I’d be happy to assist further or offer a replacement tour. I'm available daily from 9 to 6 EST.

Fun and educational worth money and time

Pamela_B, Aug 2025

Very educational exciting the time of events were our exact time of the tour what a coincidence. Easy to follow route the app easily uploaded and follow if you turn off easily find your way back. Definitely worth the money and time. Love convenience of tour in our car …

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Pamela, thank you for the amazing review! I’m so glad you found the tour both fun and educational, and that it was easy to follow right from your car. My tours are valid for a year, so you’ll have plenty of time to revisit or listen again at home. If you’re planning more Texas adventures, don’t miss my other tours in San Antonio, Houston, Big Bend National Park, or Austin. Happy exploring!

Amazing experience for the price

Luke_B, Aug 2025

Really cool background info about JFK’s assassination. Also just a great tour of the city if nothing else. If you want to see the actual spot the guy shot from you have to pay for parking and a museum ticket. There were two places where the directions he gave were slightly confusing, but if you look at the map you can figure it out. Other than those two spots though the directions were super helpful. He gives the perfect amount of time between each stop so that you can hear everything.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Luke, I’m so glad you enjoyed my JFK Assassination Self-Guided Audio Tour. To help me improve the experience, could you please let me know which two spots caused confusion with the directions? Any additional details would be really helpful so I can make those areas clearer. Thanks again for your valuable input, and I hope you explore more of my tours in the future. If you're planning more Texas adventures, don’t miss my other tours, such as those in San Antonio, Houston, Big Bend National Park, or Austin.

Interesting but Aggravating

Bridgette_S, Jul 2025

The tour was informative. I liked the autoplay feature, but for some reason, it would restart after a few seconds each time it auto-played the next message. By the fourth track it became quite annoying. Some messages seemed almost too long to get through before the next began as they are geographically triggered to play when you reach a certain spot. Driving in downtown Dallas is already stressful. Add in the interruption of navigation messages between the historical stories, coupled with three-second-repeat, and you’ve got a nice soup of aggravation.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Bridgette, I’m happy to hear that you found the tour informative and enjoyed the auto-play feature. I’m sorry to hear that you're experiencing frustration with my app. It sounds like the app may have had trouble syncing with your speed. To ensure smooth playback, it’s important to follow both the speed limits shown in the app and the route provided. This helps the audio stay in sync with the location and prevents it from repeating. Please reach out if you need any further assistance—I’m happy to help with any issues, or if you’d prefer, I can assist you with a replacement tour or a refund.

Self guided audio driving JFK tour

kelli_k, Jun 2025

The self guided tour was perfect! We were able to take this tour on our own time and go as fast/slow as needed to accommodate traffic and the road conditions. Very informative information in the audio recordings. Narrator spoke very clearly and at a good speed. Loved how it was hands free and would play as you got to certain sections on the route.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Kelli, I’m thrilled to hear you loved the JFK tour. The hands-free, GPS-triggered narration is designed precisely for that, allowing you to focus on the road and history without any hassle. I'm glad the pace and information worked well for your drive. If you're planning more Texas adventures, don’t miss my other tours, such as those in San Antonio, Houston, Big Bend National Park, or Austin.

Highly recommended!!!

Donnie_N, Apr 2025

Absolutely loved it. If you want to do a tour but also on a budget and or just don’t want to ride a bus with a bunch of other people this is great. The narration was great and it was spot on with certain land marks made our family feel like we were actually there!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Donnie, I’m so glad you loved my Dallas JFK Assassination Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour. I love that the narration brought the landmarks to life and made your family feel as if you were right in the moment. It’s a great way to explore on your terms and within a budget. If you're planning more Texas adventures, don’t miss my other tours, like San Antonio, Houston, Big Bend National Park, or Austin.
