The small city with big tales to tell - Our group of 5 did the Wild West Tour of Jerome. Courtney was awesome as a guide and took us through the history of a small town turning into a booming mining town and then almost to a ghost town at one point. So much went on good and bad in the small town of Jerome!

If you go to Jerome and want to learn more, DO THIS TOUR! - We've been to Jerome dozens of times over the years, but never really learned much about the fascinating history of this amazing town. Our awesome guide, AUSTIN, gave us an entertaining and very informative tour of the town; both walking and then in a van to see the sites surrounding Jerome. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Greed kills: History lesson that’s raw, real and vicious - Courtney offered an interesting and informative tour. My adult son and I really enjoyed seeing and learning about the town’s history. Jerome is an odd and fascinating slice of Americana. Amongst the surprises was a powerful wind that periodically raced across the steep scape.

Didn't go on the tour.... - Our tour was cancelled. Evidently, the site allowed us to book a 5 pm tour, but the company did not. So, no tour. We couldn't rebook for another day because we are leaving the area.
