The Experience

Dealey Plaza is where the tour begins, and it's the center of everything that follows. You'll walk the exact route of President Kennedy's motorcade along Main Street, then stand in the plaza itself where the assassination occurred on November 22, 1963. The guide—an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist—walks you through the evidence, the eyewitness accounts, and the enduring questions that have shaped decades of debate around the case. You'll see the Grassy Knoll, the spot that became the focus of so much of that controversy, and understand why.

From Dealey Plaza, the route moves to the places tied to Lee Harvey Oswald in the hours after the assassination. You step inside the Oswald Rooming House Museum and stand in the bedroom where he lived, retracing his movements that day. You'll visit the apartment where the famous backyard photographs of Oswald were taken—the images that became some of the most debated pieces of evidence in the case. The tour also stops at the site where Officer J.D. Tippit was killed, the event that led to Oswald's arrest less than an hour later, and the Texas Theatre, where the manhunt ended.

The Sixth Floor Museum comes last, and you explore it at your own pace. The museum occupies the former Texas School Book Depository, and the exhibits, artifacts, and historical material inside let you dig deeper into what you've already walked through. Whether you're new to the JFK case or you've studied it for years, the combination of the guide's storytelling on the ground and the museum's multimedia presentations gives you the pieces to form your own understanding of one of history's most debated events.

What’s included

  • The tour includes admission to the Sixth Floor Museum.
  • an air-conditioned vehicle for the entire route.
  • and a live guide in English who is an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist and JFK researcher.
