Overview

Your experienced guide is your driver on this 2-hour small group tour. See the places and re-live the events of the assassination. You will see historical Dealey Plaza, The Sixth Floor, and Lee Harvey Oswald's travels on the fateful day in 1963. Also includes a unique tour of Oswald's Rooming House, just as it was in 1963. There will be stops for great photo memories along the way.
