We had great time! Our tour guide did amazing and was very knowledgeable! Our family had a blast and felt comfortable in the van too!
Thank you! It was an honor being your guide through this major turning point in American history.
Rick was fantastic from point of booking through to the end of the tour. We were able to locate him easily which we were thankful for as our first day in Dallas. Rick was attentive and very engaged with his attendees. His knowledge around JFK was extensive. He was able to answer questions posed with ease, and used pictures as a visual representation, which just added to the experience. He was also happy to engage in discussion around conspiracy theories which left us questioning our initial thoughts though we are still pondering. I cannot recommend Epic enough, just fabulous.
Rick was really passionate and well informed. He helped us find the pick up spot and was very communicative. Learnt a lot about the history of JFK assassination, and he debunked conspiracies surrounding the tragic day.
It was an honor, thanks for being a great guest!
Excellent JFK tour if you’re short on time. Rick was a knowledgable and communicative guide. Highly recommended, follow up with the museum on the 6th floor.
He is kind and his knowledge is quite wide and deep!
You were a great guest, thank you!
Very imfomative tour. The tour went on longer than expected. Was supposed to be 65 minutes but was still going on after 1hour 45 minutes. Wish we could of stayed till the very end but we had to be somewhere else (I think it was nearly finished anyway). I would recommend this tour.
Thanks Charlie, yes, sometimes the 65 minute tour can run past 65 minutes. Anything extra is bonus, we covered a lot of material on your tour. Guests can step away from the walking tour in Dealey Plaza at any time.
Rick did an awesome job!!!! He was very informative and had pics and everything!! Very educational!!! Highly recommend!!
This tour with Rick was absolutely incredible. So informative and thorough covering all angles of the Kennedy assassination. Driving around key buildings in the area Rick gave insightful commentary on the happenings before and after the assassination. We then ventured to the hit site and the intriguing grassy knoll. Like many I knew many things about this event however I have come away with what I believe to be the actual reason to why those involved did what they did. The tour was set down for 65 minutes but as the clock ticked on I noted Rick continued with answering my questions and didn’t try to wrap it up as we conversed for another extra 15 minutes. Would recommend highly.
Our tour guide Rick was extremely knowledgeable about the JFK assignation. He drove along the path, and explained the before, during and after. We highly recommend this experience in Dallas!
Rick was a very well-informed, knowledgeable and friendly guide. He gave us specific instructions on meeting time and place, and was on-time and ready to go. Amazing to drive the same route as JFK, see the layout of Dealey Plaza, and better understand what happened on that tragic day. Highly recommend this tour.
