JFKs Ermordung und Museumstour in Dallas

My husband and I and another couple took this tour and it was fabulous!! Johnny was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this tour!! Prob the best tour I’ve ever taken!!

We had Orlando as our guide and he was FABULOUS! He was very knowledgeable and interesting. He even gave us background information on JFK, LBJ, Oswald and Dallas. I highly recommend this tour!

Good story telling and background info, including a drive around town to see key locations in Oswald's movements that day. The theory presented on the tour mirrored the Warren commission's three-shot theory (first missed, second hit both President Kennedy and Governor Connally, and third was a rear headshot that killed Kennedy). The fatal shot was negligent discharge from a Secret Service agent's AR-15. The guide recommended Menninger's book Mortal Error to explore this theory in light of Howard Donahue's ballistic analysis.

The tour was interesting and we liked to see all the important parts of the day. However, the driver ruined this trip for my family. First he showed up late and he did not seem interested in having conversations with anyone but the three people who arrived with him at the Kennedy Memorial. My mother is handicapped and unable to walk long distances. To see the grassy knoll he parked by the Kennedy Memorial and we had to walk. That is too far of a distance for her. She had to sit in on a bench in the heat with nothing to drink for over an hour! Then when we arrived at the 6th Floor Museum he received a call and said it was the end of the tour and would not take us back to cars. Once again, a very big inconvenience for someone who his handicapped. It was an awful experience and an embarrassing one for my mother as it was obvious she was left out. We are very upset we were unable to enjoy what could have been a good tour. It was very frustrating and uncomfortable situation.

Disappointed. Had huge expectations of this tour but the driver who picked us up just parked the minibus outside the book depository and gave as a running commentary of events before realising he had forgotten to collect another couple. Then we had a recap of all we had already been told to allow other tourists to get up to speed all whilst sitting outside the book depository. Then a whistle stop tour round to see where Lee Harvey Oswald lived having to ask if we could get out of minibus to take photos before then being driven to the theatre where we parked on the opposite side of the road for a quick photo stop before being driven back to the book depository to wander round at will.

This was an amazing experience. Our guide, David was extremely personable and knowledgable. Despite sticking to the facts he was very open to other thoughts, ideas and theories. We saw and stopped at the most important sites including, the book depository, the grassy knoll where JFK was shot, the spot where Officer Tippit was allegedly shot, the movie theatre where Oswald was apprehended and he showed us the building where in the basement Jack Ruby fired the shots that killed Oswald. David gave us clear explanations of the facts and even showed us pictures. His van was comfortable and clean. The Dealy Museum was extremely well narrated with awesome pictures and films. A great afternoon!!!!!Awesome experience!!!! So glad we did this!

Outstanding tour and insight. Highly recommend this.

Johnny was brilliant, engaging and informative. The tour added depth to the museum by bringing the events of the day into an embodied present. excellent way of seeing, feeling and understanding.
