Nestled in the Mule Mountains, this historic town is renowned for its rich mineral deposits, offering visitors a unique opportunity to uncover a variety of beautiful and rare specimens.

My 13 year old son and I just did the 2 hour tour this morning. It was the highlight of our trip. The guide has an amazing knowledge base and is eager to help everyone on the tour. If you're expecting a Sedona Jeep Tour -like experience, this is not your jam. This is a no-frills affair, but we loved it. How can you not enjoy treasure hunting for two hours and learning all about the minerals and mines in Bisbee! Everywhere we went (3 stops) was accessible by any vehicle or you can ride with the guide. The individual sites were easy to walk.
Learning more about Bisbee mining and rock formations.

Unfortunately, the host never showed up. When he returned my call 2O minutes after the call, he was confused about the time of day and was clearly not able to take a family out searching for and teaching about rocks, much less hold a conversation. He did however agree to provide a full refund but felt the need to call me a cruel name. I would book with caution.
Great experience

really had no expectations and had never heard of this type of tour, till we checked out Bisbee...and it is a one of a kind tour. needless to say, what a great surprise and fascinating experience! Bisbee was at one time the copper capital for mining...and that mining process over the years left behind a treasure trove of minerals...and beautiful rocks... that now await your discovery! fun and definitely worth the time invested.
Must do 100% would do again.

We met up with Sean, our guide, and as it happened, were the only ones going that day! So we had him all to ourselves. He was very knowledgeable and took us to 2 different sites with different types of rocks. Had loads of fun prowling through the mine tailings for malachite, chrysacola and some azurite. The desert scenery with the forest of ocotillo and storm clouds on distant mountains was atmospheric. We collected some good samples at both sites. Had good conversations with Sean and filled the 2hrs very pleasantly!
