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.

Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging on this topic and I learned a lot! I am definitely glad we did this instead of just walking down to Dealey Plaza alone- I gained a lot better perspective of the assassination than I would have otherwise.

Our guide was phenomenal and we learned facts we did not know even though we thought we were well read on the assassination. He brought in the human aspect and he had everyone in the palm of his hand. It was very enjoyable and we are glad we took the tour. The only downside is that we thought we were getting a tour of the 6th floor in the Book Depository. The description of the review says “One Hour John F Kennedy Assassination Tour with Sixth Floor Museum” and it made it seem like that was part of the tour. However, it was a totally outdoor tour. I would have given it 5 Stars except for that.

My wife, 14 yr old son and myself really enjoyed this outstanding walking tour of that fateful event. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the event itself as well as various conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of Kennedy's assassination. The conclusions of the Warren Report and other reports were summarized as well as the impact of this event upon our society and culture. While it does not include admission to the 6th floor museum, this tour will end in the vicinity of the Book Depository building. I suggest that you plan to follow the tour with an exploration of this excellent museum as well.
