About this tour
Downtown Dallas carries some of the darkest history in America. This self-guided audio tour takes you through it on your own schedule, with narration on your phone at every stop.
Start at the Old Red Museum and Dealey Plaza, where President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and hear the theories that still surround the grassy knoll. Walk past the reputedly haunted Adolphus Hotel and quirky landmarks like the Giant Eyeball, step into historic Pioneer Park Cemetery, and finish with the Illuminati legends of Reunion Tower.
No group, no guide, and no fixed start time. Go at your own pace, stop for a drink along the way, and replay any story you like. All you need is a phone and headphones.
