Great tour for the price. It had some great information and we definitely learned some interesting facts. The guide was great and very informative. The pickup/meeting location was not very clear in the email, but we asked around and figured it out.
The tour was very informative and interesting. Will recommended to friends and family visiting dallas.
The history was cool but its the guide was a recording. We love our bus driver linda
It was amazing to walk, or rather, ride the route of that day, as well as travel through what happened after the shooting. You see pictures, but makes more of an impact actually standing there and going through the motions and emotions. Highly recommend!
This was a great tour and included a lot of history surrounding the day that I was not aware of. We also were able to see other interesting sites along the way.
I bought my ticket online and then I came an hour before the tour and asked the person selling tickets there where to catch the trolley. He pointed to a place. I went there 5 minutes before departure but the trolley departed from the other street block and left me there. When I saw it going by me i went to the ticket seller and he told me the trolley had left and will come back to pick me up. No apology or compensation given. The trolley came back to pick me up 20 minutes later. I would never do it again and suggest ppl it’s not worth it.
HI Elizabeth, we apologize that you missed your trolley. We ask all passengers to board 15 min prior so that no one is rushed. The trolley departs from the same place every time and suspect that their was a misunderstanding where you are going to board. The ticket seller is named Adrian, and he said that he did apologize and had the trolley come back to pick you up.
We initially walked the JFK area to see for ourselves, most of the sites - so when it was time for the bus tour, we had familiarity with everything. The bus tour and our driver really did a fine job of putting the whole JFK situation into perspective. Was fun to follow the steps of Oswald - and great fun to listen to the old recordings of the parade and JFK's speeches. Was a very nice tour. AND GREAT VALUE for what we paid!
Lisa did an excellent job with the driving and explanations of the JFK shooting. The audio helped a lot, but was too loud at times.
Lisa was a great tour guide! Loved it but Lisa recommended Terry Black’s BBQ and that was a good recommendation! It’s a chain. Which we were looking for yummy Texas bbq and that was not it! Bucc-ees bbq sandwich was waaayyy better!
An ok tour, hajf the time couldn’t hear what the guide was saying but trip was ok
