Itinerary
This two-hour tour takes you into the world of JFK conspiracy, where you may look out over Dealey Plaza where JFK was assassinated. Theories say that the single-bullet with evidence from the Zapruder film was indicated from the Grassy Knoll that was responsible for Kennedy's fatal head wound. Visit the simple, concrete memorial to President Kennedy, designed by architect Philip Johnson, which called it "a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth." Finally, make a stop at the historic Texas Movie Theater in Oak Cliff, a beautiful and historic area of downtown Dallas. It gained historical significance on November 22, 1963 as the location of Lee Harvey Oswald´s arrest for the killing of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit. Today, it hosts a mix of repertory cinema and special events. This 2-hour tour has a participation of maximum 13 travelers

Traveler reviews
Fantastic!
If you’re interested in the history surrounding the JFK assassination, then you must take this tour! Learn fact from fiction and myth from truth. Our guide Dan was outstanding and really knows his stuff. I have been on a lot of tours around the world, and this one is now one of my favorites!
I would highly recommend this tour of the JFK Memorial . excellent tour guide John.
We were in a nice air conditioned van with a friendly driver and excellent tour guide. We learned so much from our guide!
Don't pass this tour up if you are in Dallas!
This tour was outstanding! Dan was extremely knowledgeable and had a very entertaining style. Even if you already know a lot about the history of the assassination, you will likely still learn several new things. Going inside the Rooming House was particularly interesting and truly felt like you were travelling back to 1963. Dan was very good at making the tour interactive and answering all the questions that were asked of him. I can't recommend this tour enough! Thank you for such a great experience, Dan.
Super Cool Tour
The tour was exceptional, particularly for those visitors who want to hear the granular details about Oswald and his frenzied missteps immediately after the shooting of JFK. Our guide, Issac, was phenomenal and is clearly well-steeped in Oswald’s life from childhood to his troubled final years to his desperate last days. However, what made this tour stand out was Issac’s pacing, his kindness, and his ability to take our group on this frenetic journey through the alleys and backstreets of South Dallas to almost place you in Oswald’s mindset as he tried to evade capture. It is truly amazing that almost all of these 100-year ++ structures still exist in an area of Dallas likely not fully committed to preserving this history. All-in-all, this is a tour well worth taking, no matter how geeked out you may be on the JFK assassination. Isaac makes the tour interesting to everyone on all levels. If I return to Dallas I may take the tour again.
