More than eighty five years after their deaths, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are inescapable.
Extra! Extra! Bonnie and Clyde slain by officers! How did two young kids from the Dallas slums end up in a 1934 Ford Deluxe riddled with over 150 rounds? Are they mass murdering psychos, brilliant bank robbers, or just two crazy kids with nothing to lose? Join us as we unravel the true story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.
About: The Bonnie and Clyde TOUR
In many ways, the real Bonnie and Clyde are still getting away.
The story of the two bank-robbing lovers continues to chase us, when their elusiveness is what made it famous. It would be ironic if the characters on our screens and in our stories were more like the real people: hopeless, desperate to be remembered and willing to take lives to make it happen.
The true story of Bonnie and Clyde can be told, but the spirit of their story is up to you. Are they sadistic killers, misunderstood victims of a world that won’t give them an inch, or two criminals in a fast car, headed for destruction. Let’s tell the story of how they lived, loved, stole, killed, and died in this tribute to some of America’s most wanted criminals.

We had a private four-hour Bonnie And Clyde tour with Jonny. He is an expert on the entire subject and took us on a tour of the city to point out key sites and gave us so much insight and information. Fantastic experience, I was surprised and moved by the story.
I don't want to say too much, it's better to experience the tour!
