What a great experience!
I booked this for my boyfriend and I for his birthday and we’ve both been to Jerome before but didn’t know much about the history so this was a super cool experience. Jason was a great guide and it was awesome talking to him and getting to see and hear about all things Jerome, cottonwood, clarkdale, etc.

Interesting town
Jason was a very good tour guide. He shared many interesting facts about Jerome and surrounding areas. The van we traveled in was quite worn. Torn upholstery and seat belt guide had come apart partially.

Worth It
The tour was fun, much better than just trying to drive around without a guide. The guide, Don, was knowledgeable and very friendly. I would recommend it.
