Tour guide was excellent. It was very interesting to see exactly where the events took place. We enjoyed it very much

Sam is incredibly knowledgeable about the assassination of JFK. He is theatrical and will entertain you during the experience. He took pictures of us in the areas we stopped, but there was less walking than we expected but the spots we stopped had significance to the story. If you’re looking to learn more about the event this is a great route to go.

Sam is AMAZING. He knows so much and is skilled at sharing all kinds of data and information. His passion is contagious. Fantastic experience!!
Judy_B, Mar 2025
Our tour guide Sam had a poor attitude for most of the tour. Left us feeling assulted and like he was paying us, instead of us paying him. Sad way to end our trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
I have no idea what these people are so upset about. If they had told me in person that they were unhappy or felt used I would have given them a refund. Instead they chose the paasive/aggessive route and left this weird and untrue review. I have given them a full refund.

This is not a long walking tour because so much occurred in a relatively small area of Dallas Texas.
Kristene_G, Jan 2025
This was a good tour. There was a lot of information and we learned a lot. Our tour guide was entertaining and it was nice that it was like our own private tour.
Angie_M, Jan 2025
Sam did a wonderful job with our tour. He was energetic and very knowledgeable. We learned many things we did not know about the JFK assassination. Thank you, Sam!
Nichola_J, Jan 2025
This tour takes over 2 hours and is well worth the money. Our guide Sam Peebles was absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and funny. Sam took some great photos of us and was happy to share his extensive knowledge.
Nick_W, Dec 2024
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and informative. We had lots of questions and he answered them all. He took his time even after the tour ended. Highly recommend this tour. There is not much walking on this tour, if that’s a worry for many people but I do recommend comfortable shoes.

Sam is a great tour guide! He is so knowledgeable and gave us so much more information than we knew about the event. We would highly recommend Sam and this tour.

LOADS of extra info, detail and background. Really brought the whole story to life. Thank you for sharing.
Anne_B, Jul 2024
Sam P was a great guide. Engaging, funny and informative 😁 it was clear he had done his research and provided lots of tidbits of info
Simon_W, Jun 2024
Great way to learn about a landmark moment in US history. Much more in-depth and interactive than the museum itself.
Anuja_M, May 2024
My tour guide Sam Peebles was extremely knowledgeable about the events and an amazing storyteller. He took me back in 1960s America and explained the assassination and other occurrings in great detail. This is a must do tour for anyone interested in history!
Charles_M, May 2024
Sam is TOTALLY inappropriate with his egotistical attitude. He speaks about himself and his personal “bad” marriage and alcoholism and blames it on “ women” . He spoke about his past not only as a “ bad” husband but a “ bad” employee! He is a BAD Business owner as well! My sister in law has to walk around and can’t stand in one place due to a bad knee. She walked away while he was talking to take a picture of the window where Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and he abruptly stopped talking and said “ she walked away and just made me lose my thought” she was less than 3 feet away and I replied” she can still hear you” he replied “ wow way to check my ego” . Sorry but we PAID for a tour of JFK history not the Sam Peebles “ poor me “
life story ! This tour was described as a a one hour “walking “ tour , we stood in one place and only moved within 20 feet in an hour and a half! He also told us this was a 2 hour and 20 minute “ tour” and that trip advisor advertised it incorrectly and trip advisor won’t fix it! Once again Sam is the “ victim”
At one point I gasped at the people standing in the middle of the street on the X and oncoming traffic. He basically just stopped and tried to “ insult “ me for my concern . I replied back “once you work in an emergency room and see people that have been hit by cars you don’t think it’s a “ normal occurrence”
He snickered and said “ guess I’m used to it “ . He’s IMMUNED and unaware of a lot of things especially manners and respect .
He acts unprofessional in every aspect including his behavior, the way he dresses and his rude remarks ! He does not really it’s facts he embellishes! He told us that “ Mary and Jean were 29 year old spinsters and Mary was there because of the hood looking Dallas police officer on the motorcade!we fact checked that and both Mary Moorman and Jean Hill were married and Mary had an 11 year old son. Mary photographed the president less than a second after he was shot! Mary was born in 1932, married in 1952 divorced in 1973! Jean was born in 1931, married in 1952 divorced in 1964! He also was incorrect on the diseases JFK had. He mixes up the names of the diseases ! His facts on the names of drugs he used were also incorrect!
My sister in law commented about why after the first shot the motorcade didn’t speed up .. he commented “ didn’t you listen 10 minutes ago when I said it was too loud with the motorcycles”? Well who cares if she heard what he said , as a tour guide and I use that term very loosely , he should reiterate it! He also wants to take your pictures with your phone in settings of HIS choice ! I voiced from the start we aren’t big on taking pictures of ourselves . When we walked a whole 25 feet he wanted my sister in laws phone to take a picture of us with our backs facing the road with the marked “ X “ where JFK was shot she said “ no we are good I will take a picture” he got verbally abusive and said “ that’s it I’m done you have been a problem from the start and there are NO REFUNDS” and he QUIT ‘ He also commented on how we were the “ weirdest “ 3 people he’d ever met. We believe he picks out an individual in every group to “ alienate and target “
Sam Peebles is a poor excuse as a tour guide and “local historian” DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME and MONEY on this 50 foot tour about “poor SAM PEEBLES! Do yourself a favor , save your money and your sanity and read Wikipedia and some JFK factual articles and take a self guided tour.
Response from Host, May 2024
I've done thousands of tours over 10 years. Over 90% have rated it 5 stars. Sometimes people just don't like me and that's fine. You bought the ticket, that gives you the right to complain. However, personal attacks are never OK and prove that the reviewer was the problem.
Richard_P, Apr 2024
Sam was fully knowledgeable on assassination topic and the event leading up to the shooting. His level of detail plus allowing to get to know him prior to the beginning of the tour made this feel like a very personal experience. Photos? Didn’t even have to ask, he happily took photos for us making sure key locations were in the background (such as the book depository and the shooting X’s that were located in the middle of the road). If you are a conspiracy fan, feel free to engage theories with Sam because as he says, “You can’t argue with people in this subject, when everyone is correct in their own opinion”.
Candice_L, Apr 2024
Great information provided and entertaining. Great refresher on historical events and information that we didn’t know.
Paul_G, Apr 2024
Details of conspiracy were impressive Matt was great, very knowledgeable and entertaining. The time alotted was just right
Roy_D, Apr 2024
A wealth of knowledge on the subject of JFK and the assassination. He was also good with pointing out all the ins and outs of each conspiracy theory regarding the event. Entertaining to listen to at the same time. Thanks.
Reshia_W, Mar 2024
Sam did an exceptional job of relaying all of the details of the assassination. It was like listening to a true crimes episode. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He also took the time to take great photos of us throughout the tour!
Angelica_R, Mar 2024
Sam was absolutely amazing. He brought the timeline of JFKs assassination to life. Extremely knowledgeable and captivating.
Terence_G, Dec 2023
He was so knowledgeable and even. Though I didn’t agree with him on several things but like he said iut’s his tour! Ha. Just great!
Anita_S, Nov 2023
Your company needs to be clear when you call about details of the tours. The gentleman I spoke to said that we had tickets that included the museum which it did not.
