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.

Very informative! Can’t get good information like that just walking around! It was a nice little walk around the Kennedy assassination area and see the memorial and where and how things happened. I felt emotional at where the 3rd bullet hit!

This was alot of money for a walk around the block. Anthony was very nice and very knowledgeable however we already know what happened that day. He spoke too much about Oswald. The description of the tour is very misleading. Make sure you read all the fine print. We thought this included a tour of the museum, it does not. We wish we would have walked around by ourselves and bought tickets at the museum to tour inside but we didn't know about going direct to the museum.

Hello, On the tour page. It’s explained and mentioned multiple times to clear any confusion when someone is making a reservation. In our overview you’ll find that we’ve created a tour that brings in various perspectives as well as speak about the hardships that Jackie Kennedy went through after assassination of former President Kennedy. This was done to differentiate from tourist hat solely speak about just the assassination. Included with the overview, our “Whats Included” section clearly states that the museum tickets are not included, but we will help anyone that would like to purchase entry tickets, since the tour concludes at the museum. I do encourage anyone reading this, to do as you stated and read the details to ensure that it’s what they want when they are looking to book an activity. Kind Regards, A.J. Operations Manager

Our guide was so knowledgeable! Such a fabulous walk. We were not allowed access to the Sixth Floor of the Book Depository Museum. Tickets were sold out three days prior to our visit. So worth the trip!
