Przegląd
The Bisbee Warren Tour, led by a native guide, offers an authentic journey through historic Arizona. The native Bisbee tour guide provides an insider's look at Bisbee's history, featuring local legends and family stories not found in books. The tour is detail-rich, catering to varying interests, whether you're into architecture, history, or local folklore. What sets it apart further are the hidden routes—backroads and pathways known only to locals, taking you to spots that most visitors never see. The climate-controlled space offers comfort in any weather, and a removable roof allows for open-air enjoyment. Exceptional guest service is another highlight, aiming to meet your objectives for the tour. Accessibility is seamless, thanks to Amp Research Powersteps and overhead straps for easy Jeep access. Pet lovers will appreciate the pet-friendly policy, and if you're into geology, there's the bonus of possibly finding minerals along the route.

Great tour! Travis, our guide was super knowledgeable about the Bisbee area since he grew up there. He provided us with great historical perspective of the area and the mining background of the area. He pointed out many important landmarks. Our visit to Bisbee would not have been nearly as enjoyable without having the perspective we gained from the tour. We had four adults in the jeep and it was comfortable for us all.

My tour guide, Travis, was fantastic! He grew up in the area, which provided a unique insight with his narration and tour stops. His knowledge transcended the all aspects of Bisbee, including not only the history associated with the copper industry, but also the Wild West (Wyatt Earp & Billy the Kid), various building and architectural styles (including a Del Webb connection), a short geological primer on other ores/gems/stones found in Bisbee, artistic (a Banksey rival!), and Bisbee music connections (Fleetwood Mac connection), a famous motorcyclist in one of the many Bisbee suburbs (Jay Allen's "garage". Lat but not least the "hippie connection" to Bisbee.

This was one of the best tours ever! Travis is personable, knowledgeable, and responsible. Saw Bisbee from a whole new perspective. Highly recommended!
