Eureka Rocket: Eureka Springs City Tour by Golf Cart
Description
There is so much to see and appreciate about “The City of Stairs,” and you can see so much more when you don’t wear yourself out walking. You will ride in a street legal Golf Cart (Rocket,) at a pace slightly slower than the speed of light. With groups limited to 5 people, its basically a private tour of a super cool place with a half-way-cool guide who looks a lot like a younger George Clooney. You will dig deep into what makes Eureka Springs such a rare gem - its colorful characters and amazing history. From Buffalo Bill, Carry Nation, Frank & Jesse James and Jennie Cowan, to the origins of the magic water that is the very reason Eureka Springs is here.

Itinerary
You will dig deep into the origins of the magic water that is the very reason Eureka Springs is here. There are 62 Springs in Eureka Springs, and most of them have been thought to cure a variety of diseases. Some people believe the water is still MAGIC! We will visit 8-10 springs on your tour, not just one or two downtown. You will hear about the miraculous cures and perhaps even experience one yourself!

David was amazing. Shared so much history and we got to go so many places that we would not have seen if we had done a walking tour. He added so much personality and personal insights to this tour.
Jim was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. It was a fun and interesting tour. I definitely recommend it.
Our guide knew his history. The tour was interesting and informative. I have recommended the Rocket Golf Cart tour to a friend coming in September. We really enjoyed Butter also.
David is very knowledgeable about every place in the area. Great story teller! Our 5 year old grandson really enjoyed it. Well worth activity. I highly recommend the trip!
Was a very fun experience the guide was very knowledgeable
I highly recommend! David is a wealth of knowledge: historical and local story telling. Our group were ages 20-61 and everyone agreed it was phenomenal. Full service with little extras! And he dropped us off wherever we needed at the end! We finished at the bunny store!
David drove us around Eureka Springs and we loved his knowledge about the history of Eureka Springs. It was absolutely fascinating and well worth the money! Some people that he reminded them of George Clooney or Sean Connery. We thought that he very much resembled Sir David Attenborough and we loved his in detail story telling. Wonderful time!
Very interesting and informative. We enjoyed our tour very much. It was so easy to see the whole town without having to walk.
When my guy and I decided to return to Eureka Springs this year, we were looking for some fun and different activities to fill our time. We decided to take this tour, mostly because we could ride in a golf cart and not have to walk the hilly streets of Eureka Springs. We also like the fact that we could learn some new things, including the history of our little slice of paradise. Booking the trip was easy and David, our tour guide, called the day of the tour to confirm our pick up location, which was easy to find in Eureka Springs. We happened to be the only people on this tour, which was on a Tuesday night. We met David and his darling dog Butter at the pick up location. My guy and I are dog lovers and so we were thrilled to see that Butter had come along on this trip. She is a darling addition to the tour and was so well behaved and friendly. Our guy, David is very knowledgeable about the history of Eureka Springs, intertwining personal stories with facts and history. We learned not only the history of city, but also of historic sites, including homes and businesses. We stopped at several Springs where we had the opportunity to get out of the cart and walk around and take photos. Having been to Eureka Springs before, we thought we knew a lot about the city, but actually, we discovered we knew very little. Learning the folklore was super interesting because that is something that we had not heard or researched very much. So hearing it from a resident was a lot of fun and entertaining. Just know that this is more of a historical tour and not a ghost tour, although ghosts (and Bigfoot) are talked about. If you are looking for a fun and entertaining (and very interesting) way to fill time while visiting Eureka Springs, I highly recommend this tour with David and Butter (and his comfortable golf cart). We loved it and are so glad we took the tour. We will never look at Eureka Springs in quite the same way. We love this quirky little town even more now that we know some of its secrets.
This was a great way to learn about the history of Eureka Springs, places to shop, and just great fun with David and Butter the dog! A must to do while in Eureka Springs!!
