Interesting information - Our guide had a lot of information about Jerome that we enjoyed learning about, but he couldn't answer questions. We also had to ask him to speak slower, which he did try to do.

History Amble - Our guide, Courtney was very knowledgeable, the walking tour, however did not involve much walking, so if that is your goal do not choose this tour. We walked to three spots, a church, a former bank site, and a jail. Our guide was mindful of the diverse age differences (young child up to seniors) and spoke with the parent of the child as to what was appropriate for her to cover since Jerome has a somewhat disreputable periods in it’s past. Lastly, Courtney might slow down her speaking as at times she was hard to follow at first.

Walking tour, but almost no walking - Very knowledgeable guide, which was appreciated. However, there was almost no walking. We walked across the street to a church and back across the street and our guide gave us lots of information at the two spots. I’d been Looking forward to walking around Jerome and hearing about the different sites on the spot, so was disappointed in the tour.

The terrible story of the town - I only stayed for half the tour. The material the tour guide gave was about the founder of Jerome who was a horrible person that exploited, maimed, and killed many people and devastated the area which has not recovered all in the name of accumulating more and more wealth. There was no other redeeming person ever mentioned. I'm on vacation. This is not what I wanted to hear. I just should have walked around the town and enjoyed the shops.
