Unforgettable - Had a fantastic day out with Nate our tour guide, we were driven around in the most comfortable of cars....this is the way to make memories to last a lifetime! He kept us thoroughly entertained and enlightened our our long drive there and back. We were picked up at 6 45am and then driven first to Saint Xavier, a stunning American South Western church. We had 90 minutes to take in the stunning architecture and explore the museum. Then we hit the road to drive to Tombstone and as a Brit I loved seeing the iconic place names on our drive. We arrived and was taken first to the Old Courthouse, the entrance fee was included in our private tour cost. This was one of the highlights of the tour, really gave us a sense of the history of Tomstone. Next Nate recommended Big Nose Kate's Saloon for lunch as he was not wrong. Great food, great atmostphere and great prices, loved it. We then had some free time before one of the gunfighter shows so we went on a stagecoach ride, great value at $8 each. Did some shopping and then headed to the show, we did the comedy one, would have liked to have done both shows, our only regret of the day. I think as it was quiet tourist wise, the show frequency times were reduced? We then drove off to Boot Hill, the cost also included in our tour fee. Very historic and goosebump making, real history in front of your eyes. Nate was a credit to the Detours company and we were so happy that we had him as our guide. Ask for Nate! We arrived back in Phoenix at 7.pm and can honestly say that the previous 12 hours were some of the best we have ever had and worth every penny of the cost of our private tour. Thank you Detours!

Australian in Arizona - Was an amazing tour. Tour Guide Mark was excellent and offered amazing commentary not just of Tombstone but of Arizona and the southern parts particularly. Anybody with an interest in the history of the west should definately take this tour

Professional and knowledgeable - Great communication and on time pickup from our hotel. Dan had answers for all of our questions about the scenery and could name all the mountains and plants/trees along the way. San Xavier Mission is a must see as well as tombstone. Will definitely use Detours again next time we are in AZ!

Private tour the way to go - Private tours are definitely the way to go. The personal connection with the driver and the additional knowledge you get with the private tours is what makes this so special. Our trip to Tombstone spent a lot of time in vehicle traveling to and from Scottsdale. However it wasn’t wasted time as we were able to learn about Arizona, it’s history, plant life, Indian reservations and a lot more. Something you don’t normally get with a big tour. Also was at our own pace so we never felt rushed.

Really fun time - Montana was our driver and he was super kind, nice, patient and well informed. I learned more about the Earl’s and the history of Tombstone during this trip than from any other source. The town is very well preserved and fun to explore. The re-enactment was great. We also saw the San Xavier Mission which is awe inspiring but the best of all the day’s adventures was watching the Kurt Russell movie, Tombstone. Great fun. Highly recommend and ask for Montana!
