Went on a solo tour with Mike for the JFK trolley tour. Before the tour even began we made small talk. I was taken aback when he began telling me it was silly of me to give thought to any conspiracies other than Oswald acting alone. He wouldnt let me finish my sentences or listen to my sources to understand my open mindedness, he just tried to shut me up. I was very close to saying, "OK you know what, just do your speech and pretend Im not even here." There were three interesting things Mike informed me of. 1) JFKs temporary casket was at the bottom of the Atlantic, 2) the fate of JFK was determined at the toss of a coin, and that 3) JFK could of survived that day but the corset he was wearing prevented him from being able to crouch down. I found this pretty fascinating. When I asked Mike what his sources were his answer was only, "Oh Ive been studying this for years." "OK but what are your sources?" No concrete answer. He was then quick to boast about how hes been asked to speak at conferences because he "knows his facts". /eye roll. Overall, a very informative tour that quickly takes you where you want to go. I liked the sound clips being played through out the drive. I just wish the driver was a little more accepting to the fact that people will have their own perspective and that is just fine. That ruined it for me even before the tour began. I feel as if though this driver just wanted me to sit back and listen, not ask questions.

My family and I did the Hop on Hop off Tour. Originally we wanted to catch an earlier tour but the bus overheated and the tour was cancelled... no big deal one starts every 45 minutes. Our tour guide was nice, informative, and spoke clearly. Ive gone on many a tour where its very difficult to hear or understand the tour guide so I was pleasantly impressed. My opinion is a tour like this is a must when arriving in a new city to really get a feel for the place... especially in Dallas where there are so many different neighborhoods and there is so much history. The city is really interesting and I wish we had done the tour on the first day instead of the last.

A very nice way to connect the dots with very specific timelines that fateful day in Dallas. Met Mike but Tony did the tour and he did it well. $20 well spent. $10 tip. They do accept gratuities so go knowing thats how they get paid. The trolley was loud because its an old one which made it a little hard to hear but his information was good. Driver was big on facts not conspiracies.

I paid for two tickets, and they overbooked the tour. I opted not to wait 45 minutes for the next bus as no discount was offered. Supposedly they scanned my card to refund my money, but no discount was received. They are completely ignoring my emails and phone messages.

The trolly was cute and the traveling the route was interesting but the tour guide, though very nice, had the tone of a circus side show announcer and didnt provide a whole lot of depth. With such a somber topic it felt strange and disrespectful.

Wouldnt recommend as you dont have a television anymore, all you get is audio from a youtube video.. Extremely hard to follow with the loud engine noise. Air Conditioning hardly works and a very bad decision..
