We had a wonderful fun day! Our tour guide Taffy was attentive and pleasant. She was always asking if we were able to hear her or if the ac was okay! The San Xiever and Tombstone was fun! We didn’t feel rushed and learned a lot Arizona history! Would highly recommend when in Tucson!
A visit to the rugged, bold west! Hear the stories of the sometimes violent and storied past of Tucson. Walk where the outlaws and those who struggled to keep the peace walked. Belly up to the Bar at Big Nose Kate's Saloon, and venture into the caverns of the Good Enough Mine Tour. Experience the excitement at the reenactment of the gunfight at the OK Corral! Find out how the University of Arizona almost didn't happen, but a Saloon owner and 2 gamblers saved the day! Learn about the Apache Indians and their reputation as pirates of the desert, and their raiding, pillaging, ruthless ways. View the exquisite White Dove of the Desert and see where the Dillinger Gang was captured in the 1930s and so much more!

They didn't show up. Had to scroll through all ads for them on TripAdvisor to find a telephone number. They had no idea we were scheduled. Waiting for callback for cancelation since yesterday. No reply.

Our driver Jeff was very friendly and informative throughout the day. Much appreciated.
However, we feel that the price is excessive for essentially a taxi trip. We could have done the same trip for a fraction of the cost.

I was in Arizona for a quick trip to Tucson last weekend. While my friends were busy working a local home show, I had plenty of time to get out and explore. A bit of research before the trip revealed how close Tombstone is to Tucson, so I decided to make a full day adventure out of it and I’m so glad I did!
Jeff picked me up promptly at Starbucks, and I soon learned I was the only guest on the tour that day. A solo tour was a bit unexpected, but it turned out to be a real treat and I received the full personalized experience! Jeff was absolutely wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made me feel at ease right away, and we chatted about the history of Tucson, the stunning San Xavier Mission, and the town of Tombstone during our drive that lasted about an hour and twenty minutes or so.
The OK Corral reenactment is a fun experience for anyone interested in the Wyatt Earp story and comes with your tour! I highly recommend watching the classic film Tombstone (1993) and the more recent Netflix docudrama Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War (2024) beforehand for a little historical context.
If you’re planning to visit Tombstone, I suggest mapping out your "must see" spots in advance, as there is a lot to experience, and time flies once you’re there! I stopped for lunch at The Longhorn (the Diablo Burger is *delish!*), and still had plenty of time afterward to wander, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere.
On the way back to Tucson, we made a quick stop at Boothill Graveyard, which was a fascinating and fitting way to end the day.
Overall, this was a fantastic little side trip and exactly what I needed. I highly recommend adding this tour to your Tucson itinerary!
