Highlights
During our journey, your tour guide will revisit the events leading up to November 22nd, 1963 and beyond to provide perspective and new insight into this tragic, very human drama.

We will also visit the location where Oswald’s infamous rifle picture was taken from (Neely House). We will stop at the Texas Theater where the “alleged murderer” was captured after the assassination of officer Tippit.
