Check off your bucket list! - Our friendly guide Todd was a wealth of information about Tombstone and surrounding areas! We loved hearing about the region as we drove South from Phoenix. The Chapel was such a nice stop on the way to lift our spirits and stretch our legs. The Tombstone shootout was really impressive! The memories are going to be lifelong! Definitely will book another guided tour with Todd in the future when we return to Arizona!

Fantastic Private Day Tour To Tombstone - Boothill and San Xavier Del Bac - I thoroughly enjoyed this day trip from Scottsdale to Tombstone territory. Todd was a fantastic tour guide because he is very knowledgable about the western era and the western movie genre (including pointing out former filming locations). Todd shared his experiences attending western themed events and his meeting interactions with loads of actors in the movie industry (which included pictures taken with the actors). Another perk was Todd pointed out other places to visit along the Arizona 83-Route. Todd allowed my grandson and I to take our time to look around three stops on the tour, which I appreciated. This private tour is definitely one that I would recommend to others.

You're a Daisy if Ya Do this Tour! - Western fans and history buffs, you have to do this day trip to Tombstone! What a great way to spend the day. Todd from Historic Arizona Tours was excellent--gracious, knowledgeable, and friendly. He guided us the entire day from hotel pick up to airport drop off. His truck is modern, large, and comfortable and he supplied us with plenty of water and guidebooks at our disposal. He handled everything we needed and wanted to do in town and remained flexible for whatever we wanted to do. Definitely recommend him! As for the town, well, you just have to experience it to understand. Walking the same streets as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday is pretty epic. The saloons, the dusty main street, the OK Corral ... it's really something. We went on a Sunday in early June and there were plenty of people in period costumes, shootout and hangings in the street (re-enactments ofc) and plenty of souvenir shopping. The main re-enactment of the OK shootout really put us in the mood. I recommend doing that first thing when you arrive to set the tone. The historama show is worth seeing too--vintage projection from the 1960s, but that just gave it more flavor. Honestly, we could've spent all day there just moseying along the boardwalk sidewalks, talking to the locals, perusing the original architecture. We ate at the Longhorn and it was affordable and delicious. We also stopped at the San Xavier church on the way to Tombstone and it's worth seeing if you're a history buff or like cathedrals. We made it back to the airport in Phoenix by 5PM for an evening flight so a day trip like this is totally doable. Todd is a Phoenix local so if you're looking for a reliable and comfortable tour from Phoenix, this is the tour for you. It does get dusty in Tombstone (it's the desert after all) so bring sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, and you may even want an umbrella--but Todd supplies those also, as well as hand sanitizer accessible during the ride. This was a mother/son trip and it was such a unique and memorable experience for us both.

Fun day - Such a fun day with a brilliant guide ! This was a really brilliant day out, lots of fun and great memories. We had initially booked a small group tour and that was cancelled and so we reached out to Todd and this was the best decision we could have made. Todd was super chilled out, really happy to go at our pace, very knowledgeable about the local area and history. Gave us some great tips on the rest of our vacation in Arizona. If we had met him earlier we would have definitely booked more days out with him as we really enjoyed his company. Thank you for a great day Todd - good memories !!

Excellent tour of Tombstone with Historic Arizona Tours - Took the tour of Tombstone with Historic Arizona Tours. The guide Todd was excellent - really knew his stuff. We got to visit and see the main attractions in Tombstone - the OK Corral (and the re-enactment of the Gunfight at the OK Corral), the historic Bird Cage Theater, the Tombstone Epitaph newspaper offices, the Crystal Palace and Oriental Saloons - all the places you hear about with the Tombstone legend. If you're a western history buff or just interested in the OK Corral story, I highly recommend touring Tombstone with Historic Arizona Tours!
