One-Hour John F Kennedy Assassination Walking Tour

One-Hour John F Kennedy Assassination Walking Tour

Overview

We take you through the events of the day from a perspective not found on other tours. Why was JFK even in Dallas that day and why was that route for the motorcade chosen? We lay out the incredible coincidences and timing that culminated in a national tragedy that is as poignant today as it was in 1963.

We also tell the story of Jackie Kennedy's tremendous loss and her overwhelming grief. A story often overlooked. You've heard how she was stoic and poised in public, which she was, but we take you deeper into the private, human side of the story. You'll stand in disbelief as you hear these untold stories and wonder if you could have withstood the same public pressure if you were in her shoes. Not just the Assassination, but other, equally devastating life experiences.

We end the tour at the Sixth Floor Museum. There you can continue with a self guided tour equipped with headsets. We will help you buy tickets, give an overview of the Museum and help you with a speedy entrance.

Anthony was great. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining. So much history, you will get a chill. Please don't stand on the X's.

My coworker and I had a great tour with Anthony. We very much enjoyed taking this tour, and have already recommended it to several people. I learned so much about this important historic event, and Anthony was interesting and engaged and presented the events of the day in a very tactful and respectful manner. He is clearly very interested in his subject matter, and his enthusiasm for American history was very apparent. As a pair that consisted of a Canadian and person who's resided in the Dallas area for more than 20 years, we both took away a lot of information from this tour.

The tour with Anthony was very informative and interesting. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to tell a story. The tour was a little over an hour, which was perfect to cover the subject while keeping the audience attention.
