The tour was outstanding. Wish I could remember the name of our tour guide she was spectacular. We got the extended tour and I felt like we got such a bonus. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to the Sedona area!

For a small town, Jerome has a big history. Our guide, Ed, was one of those people who makes history come alive. Some people have the gift of storytelling….he was great! I didn’t realize Jerome was built on the side of a mountain. If you’re not a heights person, don’t look down! LOL

Overview

Jerome’s rich wild west history is one most places can’t compete with, but unless you already know about its booming copper mine during World War I and its ties to Billy the Kid, you’ll really miss out if you go exploring alone. This Wild Wild West Tour of Jerome takes you to historical spots with a local resident that knows the ins and outs of what makes this old-timey town so special.

Hear about Jerome’s wild west history from a local resident
Stop by historical landmarks without waiting to see them
Find out info you wouldn’t otherwise know if exploring solo
See an old copper mine dating back to 1882 with a guide

Tara_E, Nov 2025

Great way to learn more about the history of the town of Jerome. Courtney is a fantastic guide and we enjoyed our experience!

This tour is more about the history of Jerome than The Wild West

Cynthia_B, Nov 2025

Austin was a great tour guide. He knew a lot of history of the town. Was hoping for more Wild West History. It’s a very small reference in the narrative. More walking than expected. The history of Jerome is very interesting, but I was expecting more about The Wild West.

Highly Recommend!

Lee_V, Nov 2025

Loved the tour! Our guide knew so much about the history of Jerome. Note that this is mostly a walking tour, but there’s only one hill you have to go up during the tour.

The best part of our trip!! A fascinating , historical tour of Jerome!

ErikaS, May 2025

This was mine and my mother’s first time in Arizona and we booked this tour on our first day. We originally tried for a ghost tour but they were all sold out so I booked the extended 90 minute historic tour instead. It ended up being the highlight of our whole trip!! Our guide, Courtney was kind and considerate of any physical limitations any tour guests had and spoke so passionately about Jerome as a local herself. (I even purchased a book she recommended for anyone wanting to learn more about the towns history). Would recommend Jerome and this tour group specifically to anyone visiting Arizona, the Sedona area.

Victoria_c, Apr 2025

Austin the tour guide was amazing ! However , the wild Wild West tour is the Jerome history tour with additional 20-30 min at the mines that you can really see on your own. But the history part (the first hour) was amazing !

Informative. Great Guide

Kirk_Z, Mar 2025

Really added to experience in understanding Jerome’s history and our visit. Recommend to do this at the beginning of your visit.

It’s very informative. Austin was amazing!!! A great way to spend an afternoon! We learned so much about the history of Jerome.

Perfect tour if you want a clear picture of Jerome's history

Linda_A, Feb 2025

Courtney did a great job of giving us the history of the town and how it all tied together. Having never been to the area before, her knowledge and ability to walk us through the history and bring it to life really made us feel like we learned a lot about the town and the mining operations that established it. Courtney was personable, knowledgeable, and kept the tour moving along.
