Fun & Informative Historical Activity
Very informative and fun activity if you have some spare time in the Dallas area and if you’re a bit of a history nerd like me. It was interesting getting to know what happened in the very area you’re standing at. If you’re planning on doing this activity in the summer, prepare in advance for the heat and travel light.
Operator response
Thanks so much, Carolina! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and getting to experience the history right where it happened. It’s always great having fellow history enthusiasts along. Thanks again for joining me and for the kind review!

A five star experience…especially if JFK on your bucket list
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.
