Privat tombstone Arizona og San Xavier Mission Day Trip
Beskrivelse
Rej tilbage i tiden til en af de mest berømte byer i Old West med en dag på gaderne i Tombstone. Hjemmet til den berømte OK Corral giver dig mulighed for at opleve livet for forbrydere, forretningsmænd, minearbejdere og kattemænd, der strømmet til området for en chance for at slå den rig på grænsen. En tur direkte fra dit hotel fører dig ud af byen for dit besøg i den historiske by. Mens du er i Tombstone, kan du besøge de originale samlingssteder for forbrydere og pistolmænd, som Big Nose Kate's Saloon og Bird Cage Theatre, som fik et ry som den ondeste nattepot mellem Basin Street og Barbary Coast. Troet på det vilde vestes anseelse var skudkampe og stand-offs en regelmæssig begivenhed, og mange af deres ofre begraves på den berygtede Boot Hill Cemetery - opkaldt efter de mænd, der døde og blev begravet, med deres støvler stadig på. På din vej tilbage skal du besøge den hvide due af ørkenen; en af Southwests bedst bevarede missioner i San Xavier del Bac.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores første stop, når vi går mod det vilde vest, er White Dove of The Desert; en af Southwests bedst bevarede missioner i San Xavier del Bac. San Xavier-missionen blev grundlagt i 1692 og er stadig i drift og giver gæsterne mulighed for at forbløffe det udsmykkede håndværk, der viser både spansk og indfødt indflydelse. Originale freskomalerier og statuer er stadig udstillet inden for missionen for at gæsterne også kan beundre.
Vi kører videre sydpå ind i ”Byen for hård til at dø”. Tombstone var hjemsted for de sande mænd og kvinder i Vesten. Forbudsmænd, forretningsfolk, minearbejdere og kattemænd strømmet til området i slutningen af 1870'erne for deres chance for at slå det rige. Wyatt Earp var den mest berømte lovmand i Tombstone og hele Vesten! Wyatt og hans brødre kom oprindeligt til Tombstone som iværksættere; men med den stigende uro havde de brug for at beskytte deres investeringer i minesektoren og blev advokater. I løbet af turen vil gæsterne være i stand til at stå på selve jorden, som Wyatt Earp stod under shootout ved OK Corral! Mens du er i Tombstone, har du en chance for at besøge begge sider af denne "farverige" by. De originale samlingssteder for forbrydere og pistolmænd, der ruslede ind i byen var Big Nose Kate's Saloon og Bird Cage Theatre. Bird Cage Theatre, der havde ry som "den ondeste nattepot mellem Basin Street og Barbary Coast", var en salong, hasardspil og teaterforestilling, der gav underholdning 24 timer i døgnet, 7 dage om ugen i 8 år til nogen modige nok til at komme ind. For de mænd og kvinder, der var ”alt for modige” og faldt over loven, var de nødt til at besøge Tombstone Courthouse. Inkluderet i din tur er indgangen til museet i Tombstone Courthouse, der hylder de modige sjæle, der gjorde deres bedste for at bevare freden i denne ujævne og tumleby. Sandt for det vilde vests omdømme var skudkampe og stand-offs en ugentlig begivenhed.
The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral var en 30-sekunders shootout mellem advokater og medlemmer af en løst organiseret gruppe af forbrydere kaldet Cowboys, der fandt sted omkring kl. onsdag den 26. oktober 1881
Historisk destination for sydlig og mexicansk billetpris, levende countrymusik og vilde vestregenaktioner.
For disse sjæle, der er uheldige nok til at være på den tabende ende af disse pistolkampe, blev de begravet på den berygtede Boot Hill Cemetery. Kirkegården fik passende navn fra dem, der døde med deres støvler på og blev begravet som sådan.

To be frank, it's a a long drive from Scottsdale to Tombstone. But once you get there the history is fascinating, the true facts are enlightening and everything and everybody in Tombstone is a delight. We really appreciated our driver, Tracy, who was so nice, so accommodating and an excellent driver. It was a fun, relaxing day trip.
Nate was an excellent driver/guide who adapted the day to our needs. We saw the Boneyard, tombstone bisbee and Lowell His knowledge in particular of the Native American Indians was terrific 5 stars to Nate
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!
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
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 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.
We couldn't agree more! With a private tour, you allow our guides to solely focus on what's really important - you! Not only do our guides do an excellent job of showing you around the Southwest, but they do an even better job of personalizing our private tours based on our guest's interests and requests. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with DETOURS, we hope to see you again someday! Until next time, Nathan
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!
Howdy, partner! Montana is quite the guide when it comes to exploring and guiding around our guests to the city of Tombstone. With each and every tour we hear guests commenting on how pleasantly surprised they are of by the amount of history and culture! We knew that, of course. It's why we love this tour so much! The San Xavier is nearly the cherry on top of the old western, Tombstone themed cake. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us out on the road, all of us here at DETOURS appreciates it!
