This was a fantastic tour. One of the best historic tour I’ve taken. The reason is Preston Richard’s our tour guide. He has made it his life’s focus to learn all he can about Kennedy’s assignation - studying all the formal investigations, film, reports etc. looking at conspiracy theories by focusing on facts. He is a walking talking Wikipedia on that day in Dallas. Not to mention he has actually met and talked to people up close and personal to the events. First hand tellings. The various sites were brought to life. Can’t find enough superlatives to explain my experience.
Highly recommend this journey. The museum was to the point and the films brought back my memories of 5 days in front of the TV

Very well-done! Super interesting and covers all aspects of the assassination including conspiracy theories. The grassy knoll is intriguing -- a pretty busy street runs right through the middle of it. It is a much smaller area than I had imagined.

Preston, our guide, was fantastic . Learned a lot, particularly about Lee Harvey Oswald as well as Dallas' reaction to the assassination.

This tour was absolutely outstanding! Our guide, Dan, was a master storyteller—his deep knowledge and passion for the history of the JFK assassination brought every moment to life. Walking through the 6th Floor Museum in the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald took the fateful shot, was an unforgettable experience. Standing in that historic spot and looking out the window gave me chills.
We also visited Oswald’s boarding house, saw the exact location where Officer Tippit was gunned down, and drove by the Texas Theatre where Oswald was captured. Each stop immersed us deeper into the story, and standing on the grassy knoll was truly surreal. Dan’s engaging style and attention to detail made this tour both moving and highly informative. If you’re in Dallas, this is a must-do for any history buff or anyone interested in this pivotal moment in American history!
