What To Expect

John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza

See the Philip Johnson designed Memorial for JFK

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.

Oswald Rooming House Tour

This tour includes exclusive access to Oswald's Rooming House. This is the place where Lee Harvey Oswald was living at the time of the president’s assassination. We will also visit the location where Oswald’s infamous rifle picture was taken.

The Texas Theatre

Numerous witness accounts describe Oswald on the run after shooting Officer Tippit at the intersection of 10th Street and Patton Avenue. Taxi driver William Scoggins claimed Oswald, revolver in hand, muttered something along the lines of "Poor dumb cop" as he headed away from the site of the Tippit ambush on his way to the Texas Theater.

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.

WOW... We have lived in Dallas for more than 36 years and wanted to learn more about the JFK Assassination. This tour far exceeded all expectations. An incredible experience. Our tour guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable. We could not have asked for more. This is a packed two hours. We took the same route that JFK took through downtown Dallas, we visited two locations where Oswald lived, where he murdered Officer Tippett, where he was taken into custody, and much more. This tour has my strongest recommendation. Perfect for visitors wanting to learn more about Dallas history or locals wanting a fact-filled tour of their town. Michael Buckman
