THIS TOUR IS A MUST FOR HISTORY BUFFS!
When planning a trip to Arizona, a visit to Jerome and the Verde Valley are a “must do”. Recently voted as one of “America’s Coolest Small Towns” by BudgetTravel.com readers, the former mining town of Jerome is one of the most popular sites in Northern Arizona to visit. On this 4 ½ hour tour, our guide will pick you up at your hotel, resort, timeshare in Sedona, Cottonwood or Jerome in one of our comfortable, climate-controlled vans.

We enjoyed Jason, our tour guide.He was very helpful getting in and out of the van. He is very knowledgeable and continues to gather information from long time locals on the town.
While the mine industry was very interesting history, the layout of the town and that history was great as well. The piece of history astounded me the most was the Medodist minister who told a Mexican man he could not worship in his church because the Mexicans were Catholics and had to go there. He said he wasn't Catholic but that didn't make a difference. Therefore, the Mexican gentleman build his own beautiful spired home where he worshiped.

This was a drive around in a crappy van hearing about the guides friends around cottonwood, clarksdale and Jerome. Was told we get a discount for lunch which we didn't get. 90 mins was just enough to eat and maybe 2 stores before meeting back at van. When I booked this it said it was a minivan in the description however when arriving at pick up location this was a full size van that held 8+ people and was old and run down. I only booked this for our party if 5 because it said it was a mini van and we had 3 70+ year olds with us. They had hard time getting in and out of van on a plastic step that most of time was on gravel. The seats wore horrible and ripped. There was some tools in the back that kept clinking around and making loud noises. The seatbelts had no tension and anyone sat on the back 3 rows had to climb over and under seatbelts to get in and out of van.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
