About JFK Dine & Walking Tour
While FTA has plenty of tours to pick from, we chose to attend the JFK tour. This tour begins in the Historic West End where our expert guide took us on a Dallas’ only walking tour of the JFK experience.
We visited the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza, stood at the grassy knoll assassination site, and more. After we relived history, our tour guide took us on a food tour in West Village - Uptown Dallas. This part of the tour features sit-down restaurant tastings from top knot eateries and bakeries.
