If you take this tour with this company make sure Preston is your guide. You will not be disappointed. Maybe even overwhelm with facts and conspiracy theories. The smallest details of the investigation in JFK's assassination most of the public does not know are quiet interesting. I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide was great...

David_L, Mar 2026
Our tour guide was great and really knew the history of Dallas and the JFK assassination. Plenty of stories and stops. The only thing I would improve is that the tour bus was HOT and the air conditioning was not working well.

It's more than just...

Daniel_K, Mar 2026
It's more than just Dealey plaza I was really surprised and couldn't be happier. My tour guide Dan was very knowledgeable and you could tell how much he loved the tour.

Very informative and...

Jim_Z, Mar 2026
Very informative and Dan’s passion and knowledge made the experience fantastic. He presented things in a way that conclusions were not forced upon us but urged us to think and continue our own education on the JFK assassination

Get you thinking

Michael_M, Mar 2026
It will definitely get you thinking. Dan was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It makes re-assess what you thought you knew

A Tour to Remember!!

Lois_C, Mar 2026
What can you say about the perfect tour guide, Dan, that I am sure he hasn’t heard before! He was enthusiastic , knowledgeable, animated, and very engaging. His detailed discussion and colorful accounts were terrific. Also, he encouraged questions and debate, and intelligently countered the many conspiracy theories.

Dan is very knowledgeable...

KathyT, Mar 2026
Dan is very knowledgeable about the history of the era. He was honest about what was his opinion and what was fact. It was a great tour.

Ximena_B, Mar 2026
We went in with no expectations, but our guide, Preston, was incredibly knowledgeable. The tour offered valuable context that truly enhanced our subsequent museum visit.

The BEST. Very informative and moving...

lois_s, Mar 2026
This was probably one of the best tours we have ever taken! VERY informative and moving! Preston takes a long series of historic facts and weaves them into a gripping tale. We went to Dallas specifically to experience the Kennedy Assassination. This tour did not disappoint. Although we had 20 in our group, Preston was careful to be sure that everyone could hear him, and could see what he was telling us about. I selected the tour options that included Oswald's Boarding House. (We actually went INSIDE!), and tickets to The Sixth Floor Museum. (Where Oswald actually fired the shots. ... Includes excellent displays.) (Caution: The museum is currently closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! We were there on Sunday.) For me, both options were well worth it. I was a high school senior when the assassination took place, so I remember it vividly. This tour exceeded my expectations and checked several Bucket List items for me! Thanks!

Very informative learned...

Definitely worth it

Ariane_C, Mar 2026
It’s a great experience for both history buffs and those who are not. We had Dan as a guide and he was wonderful and entertaining!

Very informative. ...

sharon_b, Mar 2026
Very informative. Preston was amazing with all the facts and debunking the conspiracy theories. Loved seeing Oswald's room.

This tour was not for us....

Heidi_J, Mar 2026
This tour was not for us. We were hoping for a reverent time of remembering an important man and event in the history of our country. The tour was actually focused much more on conspiracy theories about JFK's assassination. The tour guide was extremely enthusiastic about his "odyssey" of learning about the theories. He talked a LOT. We actually exited the tour at the first stop --which was three blocks from our meeting point, but took us 35 minutes to get there because he just kept talking while we sat in the van, not moving. So we basically left a three hour tour after 30 minutes.

Dan is a great guide.

Jason_W, Mar 2026
Great tour. Dan was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Thought I knew a lot going into this, I learned a lot more. Get Dan if you can.

Amazing!

Tammy_A, Mar 2026
We enjoyed the tour with Isaac. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I love all the tours I have booked with Viator!

Dan was awesome!

cafoster06, Mar 2026
The best historical tour we have ever taken. Dan's knowledge pertaining to the JFK assassination is unmatched. He has a passion for this subject and the knowledge to go with it. Would recommend this to anyone traveling to Dalkas.

Informative, historical, fact-based, explored alternatives viewpoints, saw the key historic landmarks and was able to walk through them. As advertised! Dan was a uniquely informed, entertaining, and passionate tour guide. Very well worth the time, money, and additional perspective and knowledge. Great tour!!

The walking tour is full of pertinent information and Dan was fully knowledgeable with micro details

Very Knowledgeable Tour Guide

Louis_R, Feb 2026
Tour guide was very knowledgeable about subject matter and was very enthusiastic about the subject. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested the history/ mysteries surrounding the JFK assignation.

‘Dan’s the man for Oswald overview’

James_B, Feb 2026
2 hour tour from the van and some walking. 1 hour solo in the museum. Dan’s the most passionate and knowledge guide I ever met.

JFK tour

Thanh_N, Feb 2026
I live in DFW area since 1989 and I finally had a chance to go. I’m glad I went with this company tour instead of driving down there myself and look around without a tour guide. You get so much more out of it. Dan was our tour guide and he was passionate about what he does as he is also a historian. I really encourage people to use a tour guide because you’ll learn things and get insights you wouldn’t learn just going on your own. Thanks again Dan!

Fantastic Tour

Corissa_D, Feb 2026

Piper_D, Feb 2026
