- B697LUkathyw0 contributionsOne of many Wonderful Arizona National MonumentsRugged for seniors with balance problems but go as far in as you can. My husband managed the site and I watched from the parking lot. The ruins were quite wonderful.Written 13 November 2024
- Hkdtodd0 contributionsFantasticWupatki was one of my favorite ancient sites in Arizona. There are so many Puebloen sites to stop at along the road plan a few hours of your time.Written 7 November 2024
- Jacqielaro0 contributionsAmazing !Beautiful place! Amazing ! The ruins were fabulous. The park Rangers were knowledgeable and let us know the history and quirky facts as well. We left the park feeling a deep connection to the ancients.Written 30 October 2024
- 184deweya0 contributionsAwesomeAwesome time if you are a western movie fan, it's real ! Well definitely go again, in the fall, because it was hot , hot ,hot !!!Written 4 September 2024
- melissandustin0 contributionsCheck 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!Written 19 March 2024
- gloriaw500 contributionsFantastic Private Day Tour To Tombstone - Boothill and San Xavier Del BacI 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.Written 1 August 2023
- FarAway338643257390 contributionsGreat tour and guide! Highly recommend.We had a great time with Todd our guide. Very knowledgeable of the area and sites. Let us tour at our pace and never felt rushed. Took lots of pictures and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Can’t say enough about how we enjoyed the day and highly recommend this tour to others.Written 18 June 2023
- 830pkh0 contributionsYou'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.Written 12 June 2023
- Nicola P0 contributionsFun daySuch 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 !!Written 22 May 2023
- Hellosusie0 contributionsNice place to stop!Preserved well and interesting signage. Short walk once you leave the gift store/museum. So sad to see that some of the trees in the area were vandalized.Written 20 May 2023
- B7617UOterryb0 contributionsExcellent tour of Tombstone with Historic Arizona ToursTook 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!Written 11 April 2023
- SilentTraveler220 contributionsBreathtaking viewsVery scenic drive. Beautiful experience. Just a very nice outdoor activity. You could pack a lunch&spend the whole day there exploring.Written 8 March 2023
- karenpH3501BB0 contributionsOutstandingTodd, was an outstanding guide that when we are in AZ we are going to hire again. I have already spoken to friends to hire him when they are in AZ. His knowledge of various subjects was wonderful. Todd's patience and being very nice made for a perfect day.Written 7 April 2022
- MtnMan430 contributionsWonderful Tombstone Visit with Historic Arizona ToursMy wife and I took the tour to Tombstone with Historic Arizona Tours and loved it! Our host Todd was extremely pleasant, a great driver, and extremely knowledgeable on Arizona History. We were able to see the important sites at Tombstone, Todd was able to provide additional background information on the sites and the history of the events that took place in Tombstone. He recommended which sites to visit and which ones to avoid. We had a wonderful time and are already planning on taking additional tours through Historic Arizona Tours when we visit Phoenix again. We want to take some of the tours they offer in the Flagstaff area.Written 24 February 2022

Todd was an excellent guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Meteor Crater and Walnut Canyon, along with a visit for lunch to the beautiful and historic La Posada Hotel in Winslow and their Turquoise Room restaurant. We also got to stand on the "Corner in Winslow AZ" from the famous song. What a treat! Meteor Crater was an astonishment to us - this big crater out in the middle of the high desert and we really enjoyed walking to the overlooks at the crater. From the stark plains, we then visited Walnut Canyon with it's immense forest of pine trees and cliff dwellings. We had the good fortune to run into a herd of elk crossing the road into Walnut Canyon National Monument. All in all, a very special day! This is our second tour with this guide - we also went to Tombstone with them a while ago and we'll have Todd take us on other tours when we return to Phoenix and Arizona.

Thanks to Todd and his itinerary for this incredible tour, I just added another day to my list of favorite travel experiences. First, I want to thank Todd for organizing this tour. The three members of our group, which included my husband and sister, were not at all familiar with Walnut Canyon or Meteor Crater, so it was terrific to be introduced to them, their history, and beauty. The stop in Winslow was the ultimate tourist experience. We enjoy trying out beautiful hotels and properties, and the La Posada property and Turquoise Room dining room did not disappoint. Todd was friendly, informative, and courteous—not only the consummate tour guide professional, but an enjoyable companion to spend the day with. His passion for Arizona and in sharing its stunning sights was evident from hotel pick-up to drop-off. I cannot give Todd or this tour high enough marks and am immeasurably grateful to him and his company for this extraordinary and memorable day.

All day private tour to Meteor Crater, Walnut Canyon and Winslow. Todd was a great conversationalist, providing great stories and information about sites along the way. Did a circle route from our hotel pick up in Scottsdale; scenery was amazing! Would highly recommend this tour and guide. Fantastic!

This was a private tour - just Todd and my husband and I. Very comfortable vehicle and Todd knew where and when to direct us as our guide without joining our experience. We first got a choice of walking the 1 hour Walnut Canyon or just look from the 3-4 look out points above. We did the walk comfortably although there are a lot of steps. We then went to Meteor Crater and had plenty of time to see the short film and view and photograph the amazing crater. Lastly lunch was at the very historic La Pasado Hotel before “standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona” … as you do!! Highly recommend.

I went without any expectations and was blown away. This was done so well. Many interactive experiences. I learned a lot about space. I had no idea the largest impact crater in the world was here in Arizona! The music as you walk in was perfect. They have a short movie and a 4 D experience. A place to have a drink as well. I am so glad I went. $29 for adults and $27 for seniors.❤️❤️❤️🌍

We were picked up on time at our hotel in a Ford F150 crewcab truck. Vehicle was very clean and comfortable. Our guide Todd was excellent. He provided some good information about the sites and answered all our questions. We never felt rushed. Our first stop was Walnut Canyon National Monument. After the canyon we went to Meteor Crater which was very interesting. Our last stop was at La Posada hotel for lunch and food was excellent. We made a stop for photos on the corner in Winslow then headed back. Todd was an excellent driver and guide. We highly recommend this company and tour.

The Meteor Crater was amazing. Starman is one of my all time favorite movies. The Apollo Astronauts trained here for their moon landings. I'm so glad I was able to take this tour. And the tour to Walnut Canyon is not to be missed. Don't forget Winslow Arizona; the town made popular by the Eagles song "Take It Easy ". I loved each part of this tour and would take it again and again. Be sure to ask for Todd. He was the best tour guide.
