Our tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable about Jerome and the surrounding areas. We had a small group which was great. Being hard if hearing this made it easier having limited people.

Our tour guide Dave did a great job! We learned so much about this area! I am a native of Arizona and had no idea of what took place in the old west times in the area. The scenery is beautiful and the houses built on the edge of the mountain are certainly an awesome sight to see. We ate at the Haunted Hamburger for our lunch break…it was awesome as well. Would highly recommend this tour 👍👍

My husband, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law have been to Jerome several times but did not know much about the town and surrounding area. We decided to take a tour with an established tour operator and picked the Historic Tour of Jerome based on the comments from past clients. We were very pleased with our choice. Jason, our tour guide and driver, provided us with interesting information not only about Jerome, but Cottonwood, Cornville, and Clarkdale as well. Jason also suggested we visit some ancient Indian ruins outside of Flagstaff, which we plan on doing before leaving the area. We enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend the Historic Tour of Jerome to anyone interested in local history.

Great trip to Jerome, AZ. Jason, our guide, was friendly and responsive to our questions. We could not have enjoyed Jerome or the surroundings as much if we had gone by ourselves. Lots of history and funny stories around this part of Arizona. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to learn about the history and the characters that made this part of Arizona so fascinating.

Our guide Jason Voss was informative and entertaining. We all enjoyed the history of the Jerom. We were picked up at the resort and returned to the resort. Very convenient!!!

David was a great guide and created an unforgettable experience with his knowledge of the town's history and talent in the field. He created a good balance between the history of the town with some hauntings mixed in. We also had some exclusive access to some areas in town. We went in July and the evening cooled off enough that it wasn't too hot and the weather was perfect.
