Meh

Randy_S, May 2026

The tour was just OK. Our tour guide Eddie was reading from a script on his iPad and answered some of the questions from the group incorrectly. His boss was on the tour with us and corrected him a few times. He mixed up the names of some of the “mobsters” a couple times. At one point saying the name of a woman who had been killed horribly instead of the woman whose picture he was showing that lived for a long time after the event. Our group agreed there were a few times when the race of the people being spoken about didn’t need to be pointed out. It seemed like one race in particular was pointed out and with some distain. It would have been helpful for the tour to end at the same location as the start rather than having people unfamiliar with the city trying to find their way back in the dark in a less than great part of town. Maybe Eddie was new, but he should have polished his act a little before leading the tour and perhaps paid attention to who was in his group.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for sharing this feedback. I’m sorry this tour did not meet the standard we want for our guests. Accuracy, delivery, and tone matter, especially on a tour that covers real people, real history, and sensitive subject matter. Your concerns are being taken seriously and will be used to improve guide training. Our tours do sometimes end in a different location than where they begin so guests can experience more of downtown’s history, but we understand that should be made clear upfront. We’ll use this to tighten the experience moving forward.

Interesting facts with a great tour guide

Brittany_B, Apr 2026

We had a great time on the tour. Our tour guide was easygoing and knowledgeable. He gave lots of interesting facts and allowed for some small group chatter for rapport building. I’d recommend the tour again for sure!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for coming out! We’re glad you had a great time and enjoyed the mix of interesting history, easygoing storytelling, and time to connect with the group. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you on another tour soon!

Mobsters rebooked to Ghost

Michael_M, Mar 2026

While I wasn’t able to do the Mobsters tour, I was rebooked for their Ghost tour flawlessly. Very interesting but entertaining tour. Definitely learned some new things about the history of Phoenix .

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for joining us! We’re glad we were able to get you rebooked onto the ghost tour and that you had a great time exploring Phoenix’s haunted history. There are so many fascinating stories hidden around the city. Hopefully we’ll see you again soon — maybe next time for the Mobsters tour!
