This tour is more about the history of Jerome than The Wild West - Austin was a great tour guide. He knew a lot of history of the town. Was hoping for more Wild West History. It’s a very small reference in the narrative. More walking than expected. The history of Jerome is very interesting, but I was expecting more about The Wild West.

Highly Recommend! - Loved the tour! Our guide knew so much about the history of Jerome. Note that this is mostly a walking tour, but there’s only one hill you have to go up during the tour.

Not worth the price for a misnomer. - We should have seen the fine print that this was a 1 hour walking tour, with a 30 minute ride to the mines. Walking up and down stairs to their office, on the bottom stairs there was no rail to hang onto. If you need to use the restroom room before the tour; they advise walking 6 minutes each way to the fire station. When you get to ride the shuttle, there are no provisions for vertically challenged people to get on. You better have a partner to help you, because the tour guide will not. The excuse ‘Amazon won’t deliver here.’ is ridiculous (in my opinion ). They could buy a step stool for people to use. Be ready to walk. Also, no pictures or recording of the tour guide or anyone else on the tour. It certainly did not feel inviting. Plus it’s a misnomer in the fact that you walk most of the tour.
