Booked this tour a few months before the family thanksgiving vacation in Dallas. Went to the meeting point on time on scheduled tour day. There was nobody at the meeting point. Phoned the local tour provider ExperienceFirst. We were told the tour was cancelled two days before and email was sent to inform us. We obviously did not receive any email about the cancellation. Very disappointed.

None, all walking for 4 hrs. No trolly, wasn’t interesting after we left the west end by JFK stuff. No interest in going into a mall or seeing old churches.. The museum was the only highlight and was not long enough. Way over priced!!!!

We had an excellent tour with Chris. He was fun and knowledgeable. We had a 1 hr walking JFK tour then continues on to the Dallas Museum of Art and many cool city sites. Thanks for the memories

I really enjoyed this walking tour. Chris was an excellent guide, I was pleased that the tour went ahead as I was the only participant. We covered a lot of ground and topics but Chris moved at a suitable pace to fit everything in while never feeling rushed. Chris really knows his stuff and as an aspiring actor knows how to present well and tell a story. The half hour highlights visit to the Museum of Art was a pleasant surprise. Definitely worth the money overall.

We've lived in Dallas for more than 20 years and had never taken the time to get a good look. So we decided with the kids on Spring Break to take this tour. Our tour guide, Christopher was really excellent. He was obviously knowledgable, but what really made the experience special is that he really "got into" the presentation of the stories behind the places we visited. He brought insights I didn't know about on the portion of the tour dealing with President Kennedy's fateful visit to Dallas. He had everyone in the palm of his hand explaining how Jack Ruby got access to the garage where he shot Oswald. You could have heard a pin drop. Our teenaged kids all told us that they enjoyed the tour and were glad we did it. One little side note that I think is valuable, Christopher was great at projecting, meaning, raising his volume so everyone could hear him clearly. I have been on tours where people strain to hear the guide and eventually check out unless they can get close enough to hear. Christopher was a total pro. He made sure everyone could hear him, he fielded questions, he showed interesting pictures, and brought a lot of humor and life to the tour. We're happily recommend this tour to anyone, especially families - and recommend Christopher if you can get him.

Tom is incredibly personable and knowledgeable. He is a great story teller and bought the JFK assignation to life. It’s a well paced tour. Tom is happy to give suggestions about what to see and places to eat. Thanks Tom. It was great to meet you.
