I've been on much better tours. First of all, the guide did not have a mic so those in the back could not hear. We were a bit restless, but she was not warm and friendly. The driver was cool. The tour did not unfold in the order in which events happened so it was quite confusing. The best part of the tour was the rooming house where the lady who knew Oswald gave us some really interesting firsthand information. The tour guide said it was too hot to get out more than twice. She didn't ask us if we wanted to. Then when we said we needed to stop because we had several kids and they needed to go potty, she was quite reluctant to do so. I bet it's a great tour with an excellent tour guide, if it goes in the order of events and if everyone on the bus can hear.

We enjoyed the tour despite the sad nature of the event. Having visited the Sixth Floor Museum on a previous visit to Dallas, I was glad that this took a different approach by seeing where various events happened, meeting someone who actually knew Lee Harvey, and hearing our guide discuss the evidence and conflicting testimony. Also the history about the eyewitnesses and conspiracies was fascinating, got my daughter doing research after. Very well worth!!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! It was incredibly educational, but wasn’t Dry or boring. Scott was so knowledgeable and the sights we saw made us feel like we were there that day. We learned so much we hadn’t known about Lee Harvey Oswald. It changed our opinion of who was responsible for JFK’s death. We HIGHLY recommend this tour with Scott!

Our tour guide, Scott, was very knowledgeable and presented an unbiased review of facts that led to the sad assassination of JFK. The tour took us to the grassy knoll, Oswald's boarding, and the theater where Oswald was arrested. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a highlight of our trip to Dallas.

I highly recommend this tour. My husband is the JFK Assassination junky but I found the tour as presented by our excellent guide, Kevin, very informative and entertaining. In presenting facts, myths, and conjecture, Kevin encouraged us to form our own opinions about "what really happened".

Took the JFK bus Tour with Kevin in early March. Had the added benefit of Kevin training a new guide, who was doing the driving, so Kevin was able to give us his undivided attention. Tour was thorough and entertaining. We made stops at the assassination site, where we got out of the van and toured the area for a good 20 minutes - including the grassy knoll, X marks on the street, zapruder film location. They also took us to the Oswald murder site, where Ruby shot Oswald. Then they took us to the Bishop Arts area, and we made stops at the House Oswald and his wife lived together, which was the site of the famous "Rifle photo". Then they took us inside the boarding room Oswald lived in for about 6 weeks up to the assassination. It was remarkable seeing the house largely intact to the way it looked in 63. We were then shown site where Oswald killed Officer Tippitt, and subsequently the shoe store he ducked into "is now a quinceanera store" and finally the Texas theatre where he was ultimately arrested. I thought the tour visited all the critical sites with the history of the assassination, and the time spent at each location was appropriate. Kevin was also kind enough to give his own beliefs into the many different conspiracy theories. As someone who already knew quite a bit about the story, I felt I still learned quite a bit, and thought it was a good investment of time and money. ** Tour ended around Noon - we had purchased our 6th floor museum tickets for 2:30pm, so there was ample time after the tour to have lunch before heading over to the 6th floor museum.
