My husband & I enjoyed this tour very much. Our guide was very personable and very knowledgeable. His presentation was excellent. Our guide connected with our small group of 5. The time we got to spend at Grassy Knoll and the Oswald Rooming house was ample and we were not rushed. The 2 hour van tour by our guide gave us a better understanding of the self-guided tour that we experienced afterward in the museum. One could tell that our guide enjoys his work.

Picked up on time by our tour guide Dan the Man! He is a Dallas local and really knows his stuff. He took us to all of the significant stops in relation to the assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald and the subsequent arrest and following conspiracy theory’s and backgrounds on the players. Finishing up with the tour of the Sixth for Museum. The museum was a good supplement to Dan’s informational first part.
I would recommend this trip to anyone of any age - thanks Dan for the tour 👍

We chose to fly into Dallas for a visit to Texas and specifically wanted to experience the JFK history. We could not have chosen a better tour. Our guide, Johnny allowed us to experience this history as if we had been a part of that day. He was thorough, genuine and thought provoking. He provided details and connected all the pieces as he moved us through the time line of events and people involved. It wasn’t just a point and see tour but actual stops along the way to see the places, read the historical markers, walk the same ground and feel the heaviness of that day. We were probably only 10 minutes into the tour and the group comments were about how much we were enjoying this look into the past. It only got better as he continued to share his knowledge and allow us to be immersed in the history. Thank you Johnny and Fun Dallas Tours for an outstanding experience.

Our family of 10 took a driving/walking JFK tour with Preston. It included walking the JFK memorial, Dealey Plaza and surrounding buildings. The van tour included the motorcade drive, Oswald’s boarding house, site of officer Tibbits shooting, and the Texan movie theatre site of Oswald’s capture. We ended the tour at the 6th Floor Museum at the Texas Book Depository which was included in the price of the tour. The tour was very informative and our guide was full of interesting facts and knowledgeable about the history of events. This was great for our group of both grandparents and teens. We would highly recommend!!

Our guide did a good job of showing us the city and explaining the events of the assassination. However, we were very disappointed to be ticketed $150.00 by the parking attendant for not leaving a parking receipt in the dashboard of our car. We parked where the guide directed us to park which was where he met us and felt he should have advised of this rule. He became defensive and blamed us for this error. We spent the money we would have used on a tip to pay an unnecessary parking ticket which soured the experience.

Johnny was a terrific tour guide. He took us through every step of the assassination, following the the route taken by Osward,from the shooting, all the way to his capture and murder by Jack Ruby. He was able to offer up new perspectives toward the actions taken by not only Osward, by also JD Tippet and Ruby. This tour included a detailed examination of the Grassy knoll and the School Book Depository Museum. Also included was a visit inside the Rooming house where Osward was staying prior to the shooting. JOHNNY made this tour a "Must see" attraction in Dallas.

We had Johnny as our time guide and it's so nice to have a local as your guide. He gave us so much history which even included his family seeing President Kennedy on part of the parade route.
Johnny taught us so much about history and by walking in the area he gave us a great perspective.
The tour includes the Sixth Floor Museum admission so it's best to park right next to the museum, address 411 Elm St, and pay a flat fee of $10 for the day.

Took my family on a tour with Johnny. He was entertaining and knowledgeable. All of us had a great afternoon and would definitely recommend the tour to others. Driving tour was roughly 3 hours - encourage you to bring along a bottle of water and/or snacks if kids are involved. My 9 year old was a bit board but my 10 year old and 17 year old were completely fascinated. Having the drive through Dallas gave a greater appreciation for the time we spend in the museum afterwards. GREAT TRIP!

This was first time to Dallas. My number one priority was going to see Dealey Plaza in person. I booked the JFK Assassination Tour not knowing what to expect. And wow, it certainly exceeded expectations. The tour guide started by giving an explanation of Dealey Plaza and its history as Dallas’ beginning point. We then went to the boarding home where Lee Harvey Oswald lived. As an extra bonus, the owner of the home cam into the living room. She was 11 when Oswald lived there and knew him. It was the highlight of the tour. We went to every other point in Dallas that held significance on that day in 1963. The tour ended at the 6th Floor Museum where the fatal shots originated.
I can’t recommend this tour enough. You will not be disappointed.

This is a must for history buffs. Our tour guide, Johnny, was very knowledgeable. He provided great insights that truly brought that historical event to life as we rode along the same parade route as the president and traced the final steps of Lee Harvey Oswald. The Rooming House is an amazing frozen-in-time landmark run by a woman who actually knew Oswald. The museum complements the tour with in-depth context of the 1960s, the Kennedys, the assassination and the aftermath, as well as several theories about the motivation and parties involved. Definitely go on this tour and be sure Johnny is your guide!

There is a parking lot directly across the street from where you meet your guide. There are probably about 20 spots there if I recall correctly.. It's an hourly lot I think. Very convenient.

If you take the JFK Assination tour, it's approximately 3 hours long... Excellent tour! The museum is separate and is self guided, so you can go as slowly or quickly as you want. Have fun!
