5.00Todd was a fantastic tour guide! We met at a location that was convenient for us which helped. The sites were beautiful and Todd did a great job giving us the history and details of each stop. He also suggested other places we should see while in the area. He was very patient while we visited the sites and never felt rushed. You can tell he really enjoys the history of Arizona and loves to share his knowledge.. highly recommend Todd.

5.00Todd, 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.
Wonderful Tombstone Visit with Historic Arizona Tours

5.00My 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.
