Epic Eureka Springs tour - Eureka Springs has an amazing history and our guide Hayden was the best. Our Saturday afternoon trek commenced with the city buzzing with a hippie powered VW parade, then a concert at Basin Park our launch point; however, Hayden kept us engaged with a nice pace and tailoring parts of his tour to our interests. He had access to an old underground bath house, and other unique town features. We went almost two miles, but the many scenic stops left us wanting to know and see more. Truly an epic experience.

Great walking Tour of Eureka Springs with Kate - We took this tour with Kate last weekend. She did an amazing job, and it was evident that she had done her research. Not only was she very knowledgeable, but she was also very engaging and witty. We really enjoyed our tour with Kate and highly recommend her!

Not an underground tour - Overall it was a really good experience. You just need to change the name of the tour. It is not an underground tour, it is a downtown history tour. We was only underground for a small part of the tour. We book this on a hot summer day at 4pm thinking that the tour was underground and we would be fine, but was miserable because it was so hot. Would have booked at a different time had we known it wasn't underground.
