Excellent Tombstone and Bisbee Tour - This day trip from Tucson was excellent. The tour left on time and the tour leader Mike provided loads of commentary and background to all the sites. Mike also allowed us to take photographs of sites on the way to Tombstone. We stopped in Bisbee and the time allocated was well enough to see everything. Tombstone was fun and there was so much choice on what activities to do. I recommend Southern Arizona Tours and Excursions and would check out some of their other tours if I had more time in Tucson.

Great Tour of History of the area - Our guide Mike Boyd was a wealth of knowledge! He is definitely the best. Knows all the history. We were in pouring rain and cold weather. Wrong time for Tucson

Okay experience - Great guide who shared very interesting historical facts with us on the way down. Tombstone is fun to visit, but pretty touristy. Big Nose Kates was disappointing. On the ride back, I asked the music to be turned down (I was in the back); however it wasn’t and I had to listen to bad country music all the way back. The graveyard was disappointing.

Shoot out at the OK Corral - Our driver was great. Mike was very knowledgeable about the area and told some good stories and history about the areas that we saw. You get picked up in Tucson so it takes about an hour and a half each way…..You get dropped off in Tombstone and if you want to learn anything about that area, in depth, you have to purchase more tours in the couple of hours that you are there. We paid for the shoot out at the OK corral - a little hokey - but fun just the same. If you go - don’t miss Big Nose Kates Saloon - probably the best part of Tombstone. The shops are tourist traps…nothing upscale that I saw. I think kids would particularly enjoy seeing the “old west” - All and all and ok day - but wouldn’t do it again.

Not Much to See or Do - My lunch and the waitresses great service at the Longhorn Cafe. Other than that all of the non-commercial buildings required admission fees to get in and I am not sure that the experience would be worth the cost of admission. I was there on a sunny January morning with the temperature near 60 degrees. No one rode the stage coaches or trolleys during the 2.5 hours that I was there.

Just Transportation - The driver was fine. She filled us in about the Native American & Spanish history for the whole Southwest on the relatively long drive to Brisbee. The reason I took this tour was because as a single person I thought I would be in a group to visit the sights but ended up it was just transportation to the two towns. We were on our own to figure out what was there to see after that. I could have driven myself, been much more comfortable and not have to be on such a tight timetable & have to walk to everything. (1 hour in Brisbee where we were encouraged to get coffee & 3 hours in Tombstone where I found out everything costs, even the gunfight & wandering around Boot Hill! Which we didn’t have time for). I took your tour from Las Vegas to Boulder & the Boulder Dam and it was 100% better!
