On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President
of the United States, was gunned down in the streets of
Dallas, Texas. Since that time, people have visited the scene
of the crime to see the 6th floor window of the Texas School
Book Depository where Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired
the shots that killed the President. They stand in the middle
of Elm Street where an "X" marks the spot where the fatal
shot struck President Kennedy. Many come just to walk the
"Grassy Knoll" at Dealey Plaza and reflect on that tragic day
in history.

Then there are those who want to learn more about the
events of that day. My tour will lead you through the events
that began on November 22, 1963, from the time President and
Jacqueline Kennedy arrived in Dallas.
This is not a package tour with a set script and schedule. My
standard tours are 3, 4 or 6 hours in length, but I am also
available by the day for those needing an in-depth tour. Every
tour I do is custom designed to whatever you want and the
price is based on how many people are going and what you
want to see and do. I promise you will get your money's worth.
I do offer a 2-hour JFK 101 Tour, but it is very limited in scope and
will only cover a walking tour of the crime scene (Dealey Plaza and
the Grassy Knoll) and a drive-through of the major locations -
Oswald's rooming house, the site where Dallas Police Officer J.D.
Tippit was killed and the Texas Theatre.
For personal tours consisting of 1-4 people, I will provide
transportation. For larger groups, I can schedule transportation
for up to 57 people or step on to your bus or van.
The JFK Assassination Tour is my most requested tour. I
guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
