I really enjoyed this tour. John was passionate about the subject. Knew all there was to know. I learnt a lot about the lead up, day before and day of the assassination. Enjoyed the visit to the rooming house. The museum at the end of the tour was very good and informative. Highly recommend this tour! Highlights of my USA trip.

Great JFK Tour

Scott_S, Jun 2026
We had a really good experience and Preston was wonderful. The reason I didn’t give it a five star was for two reasons. No bathroom stop and it would have been nice to get out and walk the Dealey Plaza and grassy knoll.

Prescot was excellent,...

Christopher_E, Jun 2026
Prescot was excellent, great tour, would recommend. Its cool to hear the story of the town from a local with strong ties to the community.

Excellent tour. Very informative. The rooming house is worth the visit.

JFK Assassination Tour

Tamar_S, Jun 2026
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.

A great informative tour

Roy_G, Jun 2026
The tour started a bit chaoticly as none if us had received emails or texts to tell us which tour guide we were with and non of them had my name. Thankfully Dan kindly stepped in and took me on board. I’m glad he did as his knowledge of the JFK assassination was immense and I enjoyed every minute. Tganks Dan you’re a star mate

JFK tour with Tim

Fabulous tour. Had no idea the twists and turns that were involved in that day. Tim was a very knowledgeable guide and gave some excellent insight. We have friends coming to Dallas soon and will recommend this tour and request Tim as a guide!!! Well done.

Dan did a great job on our JFK tour. Super enthusiastic and knowledgable. He is less conspiratorial than many, but has good facts to back up his position.

Great tour

Susan_L, May 2026
Very knowledgeable guide. Able to see extra places... won't give away the surprise. Go on the tour. 🤩

Very worthwhile!

Lisa_S, May 2026
John was very informative. This tour is better than others because you are able to follow Oswald’s path in between the shooting and being caught at the theater, including going inside his rooming house, which has been untouched since. We were given plenty of time to explore the museum at the end of the tour. Our group ranged from ages 25-61 and we all enjoyed it.

One of the best tours we’ve ever been on and we’ve been on a lot!

Krista_H, May 2026
Our tour guide, Dan, was absolutely phenomenal. His knowledge and enthusiasm were top notch. The amount we learned for a subject we thought we had a pretty solid understanding of was surprising. Absolutely outstanding and highly recommend!

Preston Richard’s was a wonderful tour guide. He gave us all sorts of background information for the entire route. Would definitely recommend this tour and this tour guide. Well worth the money! Thank you!

Great tour, highly reccomend!

Tabitha_J, May 2026
This was a great experience if you enjoy learning all the nitty gritty details about an historic event. We learned a lot of the more main stream information but also even more behind the scenes and lesser known things. One thing that I did want to mention that I didn't totally understand (could be a me problem) is that the cost of the 6th Floor Museum is included in the tour but you don't visit the museum until the end of the tour. So you will want to tack on time for that at the end of the 3 hour tour. But this tour is well worth every penny!!

Great experience. John...

Nick_F, May 2026
The guide was very informative, but the van that we toured in reeked of cigarette smoke, which ruined the experience.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We do have a strict no smoking policy inside all of our vans; however, we cannot control if a guest smokes prior to entering the vehicle, and in some cases the lingering odor may still be present. We are continuously working to minimize this through regular cleaning and ventilation procedures between tours. We appreciate your comments and your business.

Great tour
