Fabulous tour-We had an absolutely wonderful experience during our JFK tour. Rick was engaging, and provided information in such an energized manner. The detail he provided made you feel like you were stepping back in time! Highly recommend.
We had a great day on the tour! The guide was so knowledgeable and informative! Great way to spend our afternoon. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide was awesome!!! I guess I misread and was under the impression we were going to go inside the 6th floor but we didn’t. 😢 Everything else that was included was perfect!
I am very grateful to my guide, Rick. It was a really informative experience as there was nothing he didn’t know. Happy to recommend 👍
We learned a ton on this tour. I especially enjoyed the videos and photos that enhanced the tour experience. Rick went into great detail on our tour. We saw a lot of key sites around the city as well. Smaller tour group was perfect.
Be sure to ask if the actual museum is open. We missed that not knowing it was closed Monday and Tuesday.
Thanks for booking with me and enjoying the tour. Yes, it's disappointing the museum isn't open seven days a week.
Amazing city trip ever and I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in the history and be ready to feel the moment.
Loved the details and timeline Rick provided throughout this tour. He squashed the years of conspiracy theories most people have going into this tour, in my opinion. We highly recommend taking this tour with Rick, you won't be disappointed!
Rick was great and it was such a knowledgeable and fun tour. I would definitely go back. Don't miss out.
