    7. JFK assassination tour in Dallas with visit to Lee Harvey Oswald's rooming house

    4.8· 659 reviews· 2 hours

    Two-hour guided tour by air-conditioned van covering key locations, including Grassy Knoll and Oswald's rooming house, with a brief walking portion.

    I opted for the 2-hour tour, but our guide Preston was so knowledgeable that it turned into a 3-hour experience. He shared an abundance of history, details, dates, and names, making it very informative. The small group size was enjoyable, and the air-conditioned shuttle provided a comfortable ride with a bit of walking involved. It's essential to wear sunscreen or a hat and to bring a water bottle, as it was quite hot and humid. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Dallas and this tour, and the price was just right.elizabethsH8252FI
