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.

This is a fantastic tour to take as a family especially with teens. Lots of historical information presented in a very engaging way. The best part is you learn more than was ever taught in school, but it is only and hour long so it holds the attention of all and leaves plenty of room in the day to explore the city. The tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. He also included information about the Dallas area as well! I highly recommend taking this tour if you are in the area!

This tour disclosed a lot of interesting information on different aspects related to JFK's assassination. The guide was very knowledgeable on the historical event and has obviously done a lot of research concerning the facts of the assassination. He was friendly, considerate, and respectful of all participants. As far as the the cost of the tour, it was very reasonable. I would do it again!
