This was an excellent tour by Rebecca, who was so thorough and knowledgeable, not to mention gracious with her time. I would highly recommend this tour (or one of the longer ones) to anyone who wants an objective narrative about the known facts to compare to the myriad of theories surrounding JFK's assassination. Seeing the actual sites where key events unfolded, hearing about the people involved (or allegedly so), and learning the history was a real eye-opening experience. While the story is a indeed a heavy-hearted one, we had a great time learning about it. With greater knowledge, we can continue to reflect, ponder, and weigh in on one of the most controversial events in American history. Thanks Rebecca. Outstanding!

Excellent tour. Certainly gave us food for thought on lots of aspects of history and conspiracy theories

Marshy123

Brilliant tour with Rebecca, very knowledgeable about the events that happened in Dallas, happy to answer lots of questions about the theory’s that have existed for almost 60 years. Very generous with her time (we ran slightly over). Rebecca’s knowledge also comes from having met people that were there that day, which gave a wonderful insight to the confusion and pandemonium that ensued after the shooting

Absolutely amazing!! From my first interaction with Rebecca to our 5 hour tour with Erin, every interaction with them was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. When we met Erin the morning of our tour, she was dressed professional, her clean Lexus SUV was comfortable to ride in, she was patient with our children, she was knowledgeable and had great skills with explaining things to us. Highly recommend!!!

It was one of the highlights of the trip for me! I could have enjoyed it for 3 more hours, I didn’t want it to end. Rebecca’s passion for the city of Dallas and the story of JFK’s death was so apparent, and I appreciate the way she shared the facts yet hold space for all the mystery and unknowns.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Rebecca, Discover Dallas Tours owner and tour guide. We had already known a lot about the events of that fateful 1963 day having lived through it, but we learned a lot more from Rebecca! She was professional, pleasant, patient and extremely knowledgeable. She was also punctual and generous with her time. Before booking this tour, I researched many reviews of all JFK/Dallas tours. I decided to take a chance on Discover Dallas Tours , and I'm so glad I did!
