The way the driver synced up the recording with the locations and added touches. I also loved that I got to see the city of Dallas simultaneously
I was not sure how it would be for the kids given the topic but they really enjoyed it also.
The trolley ride and it made learning about our history fun.
It was light yet we were still able to get a really good sense as to what happened that day in history.
The ride and the narration was amazing.
This is the original JFK tour taking you back in history to November 22, 1963. You will travel through the city streets of Dallas, down the motorcade route, through Dealey Plaza, and then the trolley leaves downtown and follows the timeline of Lee Harvey Oswald. You'll see the Texas Theater, the Officer JD Tippet murder scene, Oswald's rooming house, old city jail, Jack Ruby's dance club, and old county jail. Our JFK tour covers all four days surrounding the assassination.

Great experience to tour Dallas. Trolley was air conditioned and comfortable. Our Guide Lisa was wonderful. Highly recommend it if you are in Dallas for the day.

Well done tour covering all the key sites in the JFK assassination: Dealey Plaza, Oswald Boarding House, site of JD Trippet murder, the Texas Theatre, and the old Dallas Police Headquarters. Nice use of historical recordings throughout the tour. Lisa was a great driver.

I grew up in Dallas knowing bits and pieces of the story, but the tour filled in all the blanks. Hearing the voices of the actual people made it surreal.
