Planning Your Visit

  • Mexican Food

    Whether its real Dallas Tex Mex style—that’s a combo plate slathered in ranchero sauce—or traditional Mexican food, this city is home to some of the best in the country. Tacos are good for breakfast, lunch and dinner and there’s always room for guacamole while visiting Dallas.

  • Dallas Weather is Tricky

    Don’t be fooled by its location on the map; a winter in Dallas can be cold and windy. And of course, for about four months of the year, it’s unbearably hot. Pack wisely; this ain’t Los Angeles.

What people are saying about Dallas

Overall rating

4.6 / 5

based on 97 reviews

The van was incredibly clean, and our tour guide wore a mask and had hand sanitizer that he used and offered frequently. Myself, I 22-year-old son and my 16-year-old son decided to go on this tour based on the reviews and I can’t convey how fantastic it truly is!!!!! It’s almost impossible to find something that the three of us all enjoy and they said they would love to do it again!!!! The tour guide Mr. Johnny made the whole experience real, interactive and extremely educational!!!! Truly one of the best tours I have been on in the world!

Dallas: JFK Assassination and Sixth Floor Museum Tour Reviewed by Heather, 6/8/2020

The Sixth Floor Museum is excellent and would recommend to everyone. However, the combination of the museum AND the tour to the other associated sites connected to Oswald/Ruby prior to and after the assassination were outstanding. We went to sites in the Dallas area related to Oswald's movements that you would not believe are still there and available just as they were over 56 years ago. Our guide, Orlando, was excellent. Get him if you can.

Dallas: JFK Assassination and Sixth Floor Museum Tour Reviewed by John, 1/3/2020

This was definitely the way to go to fully understand and appreciate what happened on those fateful days in November, 1963 when JFK was assassinated. You'll come away from the tour feeling like you have had a very close look at what happened, and you'll still have many unanswered questions. (But they'll be better questions!)

Dallas: JFK Assassination and Sixth Floor Museum Tour Reviewed by Beth, 12/25/2019

This was a great tour. Orlando is very knowledgeable. We toured all the high points of interest from the tragic assassination of John F Kennedy. We highly recommend this tour and Orlando! Thank you!
