We had a great 3 hour tour of Bisbee and it’s surroundings from top to bottom. Our guide Travis brought Bisbee history to life as we traveled the area in his comfortable Jeep. It felt like we were learning the real history of Bisbee, Lowell, and Warren from a remaining member of one of the early mining families. 3 hours went by in a blink…

Travis, our guide, was a native of Bisbee and had insights on local history and mining activity that made our tour especially enjoyable. We had been to Bisbee before and on our next visit we will take Travis’s tour again. Highly recommended!

The tour was spectacular! Travis knows and loves this little city, so can provide all kinds of little details to help visitors love it, too. From the windy mountaintop with deer sightings, to the winding hilly roads through neighborhoods & downtown, and even the cemetery, he kept us informed & entertained. We highly recommend this tour.
