Great tour - Good historical presentation with lots of interesting information and dates of major events. Our tour guide was mindful of the physical limitations of several participants.

An experience to remember - Courtney, our guide, did an excellent job in taking us through the history of Jerome. She was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate to share her knowledge. The one small recommendation to make is for her to slow down her speech, it would make it easier to keep up with her.

Great history walk! - Out guide was fantastic with explaining the history behind the town’s development and collapse, while pointing out many present and former buildings key to the town. If you enjoy history with a great narrative then I promise you will love this tour!

Best tour of Jerome - Courtney was very knowledgeable and fun! So much history for a small town. I have been to Jerome before, but this was the first time I took a tour and it was so worth it!

Great walking tour in Jerome - Austin was great! We hadn't been to Jerome in 30 years and we had never completed a walking tour with a guide in Jerome. Austin was full of stories and the hour tour of the city was perfect timing. We had lunch at Haunted Hamburger and it completed our walking tour and experience in Jerome. We highly recommend this tour.

Learn the history that explains why Jerome is so haunted! - If you are going to Jerome, i recommend you take this 1 hour tour so you can appreciate the brutal history of this town and understand why it is so haunted.this tour is well worth the time. We got there early so we grabbed breakfast at the Miners Cafe (so good) and then met back at the Jerome Ghost Tour’s office with beautiful view. Our tour guide Austin, was knowledgeable and his energy was infectious. He told us great story about Billy the Kid and wyatt Earp. Austin also did a great job of telling us when the walk would be uphill, made sure we stopped in shade (since it was in the 90s that day) and what he would cover. He encouraged questions and provided helpful suggestions on what to do.

Exploring Arizona - Young Man is well versed with the historical facts of that town. Seems to have a richer history than Tombstone. Lot of hidden historical gems! Well worth it!

Ya Gotta Go - Excellent and fun tour. Austin was extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend the historical tour and be certain to make time for the museum and to watch the half hour movie - if you can prior to tour. The tour really rounded things out for me after my museum visit and to see the mine shaft. Have fun! Great town. Incredible history!

Interesting little town Jerome - The church that burnt down and reused the burnt wood as the window trim was interesting. The sliding jail was great. To see where it started and where it ended up was crazy. The copper mines were also interesting. Austin was very animated about the history of Jerome.
