A Castle to remember

Dale_M, Nov 2022

This was an awesome tour. Our guide, Bob, made the tour exceptional. His knowledge and presentations made the tour, the most memorable tour we have ever taken. It covered two site, the Tuzigoot National Monument and Montezuma's Castle. The tour of Tuzigoot allowed for a close of look at the architecture of small settlements. Giving us the opportunity to have an understanding of how the Sinaqua would build for survival, daily living and protection. This was followed by visiting the second site Montezuma's Castle. The one thing that was out of everyone's control was not being able to see inside the Castle. Unfortunately, only archaeologist have been able to physically be in the structure since 1951. It is still an amazing site to see.

We are thrilled you had such a good experience. It is very important to us that you enjoy the tour.

Sedona side trip

Carolyn_C, Aug 2021

Ken was a wonderful guide! We really appreciated his flexibility and insight into the Native American ruins we visited while on our trip to AZ. When our daughter expressed interest in seeing a particular town, he rearranged the route to include a quick mini-adventure to a mine, and drove us through that town to we could see it. Excellent trip and guide!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you! We are so happy you had a great time. We hope you can return to Northern AZ and we can share some more of the area with you.

Had a great half day with Bob exploring the two sites and learning a great deal about the local history.
