Travel back in time to one of the most famous Old West towns with a day on the streets of Tombstone. The home of the famous OK Corral lets you experience the lives of outlaws, businessmen, miners, and cattlemen who flocked to the area for a chance to strike it rich on the frontier.
A ride straight from your hotel takes you out of the city for your visit to the historic town. While you're in Tombstone, pay a visit to the original gathering spots for outlaws and gunmen, like Big Nose Kate's Saloon and the Bird Cage Theatre, which earned a reputation as the wickedest nightspot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast. True to the reputation of the Wild West, gunfights and stand-offs were a regular occurrence, and many of their victims are buried at the infamous Boot Hill Cemetery—named for the men who died and were buried, with their boots still on. On your way back, visit the White Dove of the Desert; one of the Southwest's best-preserved missions at San Xavier del Bac.

Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona, United States Our first stop as we head into the wild west is the White Dove of The Desert; one of the Southwest’s best preserved missions at San Xavier del Bac. Founded in 1692, the San Xavier Mission is still in operation and allows guests to marvel at the ornate craftsmanship showcasing both Spanish and Native influences. Original frescoes and statuary are still on display within the mission for guests to admire as well. 60 minutes
300 Sumner St, Tombstone, AZ 85638, USA We’ll head further south into the “Town too Tough to Die”. Tombstone was home to the true men and women of the West. Outlaws, businessmen, miners, and cattlemen flocked to the area in the late 1870s for their chance to strike it rich. The most famous lawman of Tombstone and the entire West was Wyatt Earp! Wyatt and his brothers originally came to Tombstone as entrepreneurs; however, with the increasing unrest, they needed to protect their investment in the mining industry and became lawmen. During the tour, guests will be able to stand on the very ground Wyatt Earp stood during the shootout at the OK Corral! While in Tombstone, you’ll have a chance to visit both sides of this “colorful” town. The original gathering spots for outlaws and gunmen who strolled into town were Big Nose Kate’s Saloon and the Bird Cage Theatre. The Bird Cage Theatre, which had the reputation as “the wickedest nightspot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast,” was a saloon, gambling parlor, and theatre show that provided entertainment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 8 years to anyone brave enough to enter. For those men and women who were “overly brave” and fell afoul of the law, they had to make a visit to the Tombstone Courthouse. Included in your tour will be the entrance to the museum at the Tombstone Courthouse, which pays homage to the brave souls who did their best to keep the peace in this rough and tumble town. True to the reputation of the Wild West, gunfights and stand-offs were a weekly occurrence. 180 minutes
O.K. Corral, Tombstone, Arizona, United States The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was a 30-second shootout between lawmen and members of a loosely organized group of outlaws called the Cowboys that took place at about 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881 30 minutes

His knowledge in particular of the Native American Indians was terrific

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!
