Tour was very informative and caused me to think about what happened sixty years ago. The tour guide (Dan Evans) was awesome and he really explained things well as to what did or didn’t happen back then. The great thing was that in addition to his knowledge he was very enthusiastic about the topic which make this tour or any tour so much better. As for the tour itself actually seeing the area live gives the tourist a whole new perspective of the area where the assassination took place as opposed to just reading or hearing about it from afar. The tour also expands the horizon of the whole assassination timeframe because you see more of what happened before and after the actual assassination time….stuff that is not well known otherwise but is interesting as well. The four to five hours spent on this tour was well worth the time and money spent to take the tour. It obviously won’t answer all the questions but it gives you things to think about for sure. Yes the tour is highly recommended.

Anthony was extremely informative with exceptional in depth knowledge of the events relating to JFK assassination and subsequent conspiracy theories and really brought the experience to life with personal research and examples on a nuetral basis. Would highly recommend this experience. Lynda and John
