Kahleah was a great guide! Fun time.
It was pretty cool learning about downtown Arizona since I came from California to visit, to the point I caught something on camera. Our group was small but funny.Our tour guide Madison was super awesome and funny as well and very educational and helpful. . The price isn’t even that bad either for what we experienced and how long it took. It’s more spooky at night so I would recommend.
