Eureka Springs Tram Tour

We loved the ride and route but was disappointed with our guide.

Was not informative or entertaining. The gentleman narrating the tour didn't seem to know anything about the history of the town and could only speak of how much money the houses cost and how ran down many were.

During this time of Covid and the fact that Arkansas is on a Covid HOT list you need to protect your participants by encouraging each one to wear a mask. Turpentine Creek REQUIRED everyone to wear a mask and there was NO problem because that's what was expected of them. I'm bringing my other daughter sometime in the Fall and will not take her for the city tour unless masks are used for the protection of your patrons. Your female hostess gives far better history and detailed facts about your unique city.

The male guide was not speaking loud enough over traffic and his stories were all over the place and not interesting. The time spent in front of the crescent hotel was too long and the ride was too hot. This is were the story telling became way too much and lost everyone’s interest the most.

We love Eureka Springs, so we took the tour to hopefully learn more about the history and architecture, unfortunately, all we learned was everything about our tour guide, how he was in real estate, how much money he made selling this house and that house, how often you have to paint these old houses,(every ten years, in case you were wondering), what businesses he owned , the bed and breakfast he owned with his disabled wife, how it was hard for him to run it because he had to stay up late with guests and then get up early to have breakfast ready for them. He didn't even know the correct information about the Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs main attraction, we stayed there, we know he was wrong about several things he stated about the hotel. He was the worst guide we have ever had anywhere, any time, any place. I cannot and will not recommend anyone take this tour, it was a waste of our time and money.

I booked this tour because I thought would be safe enough when masked required. We can masked. But tour guide not. And tram driver immediate told everyone he was required to say mask required but they did nNIT need to wear masks. This is part if the problem. I would not have booked a mask optional with my grandchildren. Probably should throw a fit and refund. But set in front. This was july 1 1pm tour

I was disappointed that there wasn't more historical fact included in the tour. Mostly went through residential areas.
