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.

Was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Dallas and in some ways better than the 6th floor museum itself. Tom was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable of the area and history. Engaging and fun. Definitely recommended!

Our Guide, Tom was very knowledgeable about the events behind the Kennedy Assassination. If you are planning a visit to Dallas I would recommend this walking tour. Looking at the photos from 50 years ago to now is amazing to see little change to this area and the path JFK took that day.

This was exactly what my group was looking for. Anthony was an exceptional guide. He really focused on the tragedy of Kennedy’s assassination while still making it an informative and engaging tour. I felt like we were reliving the day itself. Our guide had a LOT of first hand knowledge from research/interviews that he conducted with witnesses and even friends/relatives of Oswald. Anthony is a Dallas native and his knowledge of the city/the event really shined through. He was engaged, funny, easy to hear and keep up with on the short walk. Thank you so much. I would recommend this tour to anyone!
