What To Expect

John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza

The John F. Kennedy Memorial was the first memorial by famed American architect and Kennedy family friend Philip Johnson, and was approved by Jacqueline Kennedy. Johnson called it "a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth." Dallas raised $200,000 for the memorial by August 1964, entirely from 50,000 individual donations contributed by private citizens.

Dealey Plaza National Historic Landmark District

Called the "birthplace of Dallas". It was the location of the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963. The Dealey Plaza Historic District was named a National Historic Landmark in 1993 to preserve Dealey Plaza, street rights-of-way, buildings and structures by the plaza visible from the assassination site, that have been identified as witness locations or as possible locations for assassins.

Grassy Knoll

The grassy knoll is a small, sloping hill inside the Dealey Plaza and adjacent by the former Texas School Book Depository. It became well known following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The knoll was above Kennedy and to his right (west and north) during the assassination on November 22, 1963.

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

If you purchase the option that includes the entrance to the JFK Museum at Dealey Plaza, we will leave you at the museum's entrance at the end of the tour. You can skip the line and go directly to the visitors’ desk to collect your headsets equipment for a self-guided tour, the museum visit generally takes 40-60 minutes.

I really enjoyed this tour. It was very fascinating to see all the sites and hear about events that occurred on that day in Dallas that involved Lee Harvey Oswald. I particularly thought seeing the house where he stayed and all the news papers from back that day was very cool. I would recommend this tour to anyone who was interested in hearing about the historical aspect and how it has shaped the city of Dallas today.

Take this tour. To have sat on Lee Oswald’s bed and met someone that lived with him for a time was incredible. To have actually stood and filmed in the exact place of the Zapruder film even more so. And thanks to John the guide, there are little snippets of information I didn’t know about that day that have clarified my position on the whole event, so congratulations to him on a great job!

Our tour guide was a stellar story teller, throughout the entire walk we were filled with suspenseful emotions and hanging on to every word that we heard. His depth of knowledge was simply astounding! His intense personal interest in the subject was contagious and we were eager to engage. We kept asking questions as we were drawn deeper and deeper into the very complex human stories surrounding the assassination. We highly recommend that you do this walking tour in order to get the full Dallas experience.
