The Sisters Day in the Wild West! - Our tour guide, Taffy, was so informative and kept the pace of the day exciting and well as educational. Our tour group included a wide variety of ages with very young children as well as a senior citizen (me). She was able to entertain us all and I must say the children were as intrigued as we were all day. That’s takes a very gifted tour guide! Thank you, Taffy!

The Sisters from Cleveland - My sister and I enjoyed the ease of this trip from booking online to the short wait time to be picked up for the Tour! St. Xavier Del Bac was Beautiful beyond words.. and Tombstone wasn't too crowded the day we went. The history there is just amazing.. Also, our Tour Driver, Mike, was soo knowledgeable and had the greatest stories of the places we toured, it really made us excited to be able to visit these legendary places in person

Great way to see Arizona hostory - Had a great time! Our host was very knowledgeable about the history of these places, as well as many other Tucson history items. Time spent at the San Xavier Mission and Tombstone was just right, made for a wonderful day in historic places. Would definitely recommend!

Good day trip - San Xavier is worth seeing. It is stunning. Our guide told us how it came to be built, which was an interesting story, but nothing about the inside. The artwork is magnificent and very detailed. I would like to have known more about how it was done and who did it. Tombstone was fun, albeit a bit hokey. Go to Big Nose Kate's Salon and get some pictures of yourself in cowboy regalia with a rifle robbing a bank.
