So happy to have found this audio tour! It gave us the flexibility we needed to start a tour at a time convenient for us. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Loved hearing the history of the area.
The tour was just right! Pace, duration, details about the stops and directions were spot on. We could have shared earphones and purchased fewer tickets.
Never took it. I was wanting the voucher at the time of order not two days later. I had already left Dallas. Felt cheated
Great to be not tied down to a start time so I could start whenever I wanted. Right timing of info at each stoo
Make sure to use headphones otherwise hard to hear with phone. Lots of traffic in the area. Enjoy it really.
Tracy was amazing and extremely informational as she has been in Dallas for several years. We learned a lot of things we had no idea about.
Underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend. I thought it was too brief and covered little of significance other than the JFK sites. Would've liked more local history and significant places to stop. Overall, I thought it was rather thin. Also, ended up booking directly thru Viator, as the TripAdvisor link did not allow me to complete the purchase despite several attempts.

It was interesting. It gave a little history of Dallas and we were directed to the grassy knoll. And it recommended a place to eat
A great overview of the city through the tour. gave a very interesting narration from first settlers to the JFK assassination. Good recommendations and a fantastic idea!
