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!

Jerome - Our tour guide, I believe her name is Courtney, with the beautiful, long, red hair, was excellent, knowledgeable and had some great tidbits about Jerome. I highly recommend this tour. What a quaint, wonderful, historical town to visit!

Great tour! - Austin was a fabulous guide! He shared a wealth of historical information and told some fascinating tall tales. We spent a good deal of time standing in one or two spots before we actually went into town. For a moment I thought we weren't going anywhere. However we got a full tour of interesting spots that we probably wouldn't have even noticed if it weren't for him. Great tour! Highly recommend.

Great! Must-do - The history of Jerome blew us away! This tour is a must-do and gave us plenty of recommendations and things to do, we just didn't have enough time! Beware if you're coming in the spring, it was chillier and raining than we expected from Sedona
