Walking tour was insightful. - We had a great tour guide, Linda. The tour showed some insight of the days gone past. There is quite a bit of history and stories from the characters who once passed through and/or lived here. It was cool to see the underground and other interesting things that happened here.

Interesting Eureka Springs tour - Interesting info re Eureka Springs’ history and architecture. Guide was super familiar with the area and enthusiastic about the tour. Check in process was a little chaotic due to construction in the area and the number of guests on the tour.
