I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Richard, was extremely informative and we learned so much. We had no idea how extensive the tour was. Richard was a journalist and absolutely provided every detail you could ever ask for. His passion for history made the tour extra awesome! Perfect amount of time and was well worth the price. Excellent service from pick-up to drop-off.
Me and my wife took the tour. Richard was the best tour guide on this subject.We were amazed of his knowledge of the assassination,Lee Harvey Oswald, and all the tour stops in the itinerary. Couldn't be better!!! You will love this tour!!!
Richard was a great host and guide. Very knowledgeable about history of this sad time. The van was so comfortable to travel in and the addition of a tv screen so that we could see images as he talked about them was amazing. His presentation was animated and well done. He made us comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Highly recommend this for your small group/private tour.
This was an excellent tour. The guide was highly knowledgeable, clearly outlining the events surrounding the assassinations of JFK and Oswald while showing us all key locations. The information was well researched and presented in way that was easy to follow. The tour appealed to everyone in our family, from teenagers to a senior. We left with a much better understanding of what happened on those fateful days and the factors that led to both shootings and the conspiracy controversy that followed. The visit to the Sixth Floor Museum at the end was a fitting way to conclude the experience.
We had a great time. The tour covers everything JFK with many details. The chance to see from the van with commentary and also on foot. Richard provided comprehensive knowledge of the events backed with images. From being in Elm St, to the boarding house and Texas theatre we seen it all. Finishing at the 6th Floor Museum.
Richard was our narrator and did an awesome job reviewing all the history/ conclusions of this huge piece of history
I appreciated you joining me on the tour!
