This was a great tour! From a true local who knew so much history about Bisbee and the mines and was very passionate about Bisbee and the history. I loved learning all of the random factoids.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It means a great deal to hear that you enjoyed learning the history of Bisbee and the mines, and that the little factoids stood out (I love the word 'factoid'). I love sharing this town’s story. It was an honor and a pleasure to serve you, and I hope to see you both again. Take care.
This was a private tour of Bisbee. I got local and state history plus details about certain homes there. It was a very enjoyable experience and I saw a lot of this charming town! Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Always felt comfortable. Would do again!

Travis is an amazing tour guide, being a 4th generation Bisbee native he has not only Bisbee history but a lot of personal experiences that he shares. We had our 2 small dogs with us and he was very accommodating to them also. We would recommend his tour to anyone who wants a great experience in Bisbee.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tour. I also enjoyed our connection to Chicago and Charles Comiskey. Take care, and I hope to welcome you back to Bisbee again soon!
One of the best tours (the best Jeep tour) we've taken! Travis was so knowledgeable and helpful. Having a "native" guide you around and share these stories was wonderful. He was able to answer questions.
So friendly and would stop wherever we wanted to take a closer look.

Thank you for your feedback! I take all of your comments to heart. It was an honor and a pleasure to serve you!
Having traveled world wide, I can tell you honestly there is NOTHING like a local guide; one who has lived it and done it. Greg was an exceptional guide who not only took us around to the designated locations, but kindly showed us places we were interested in as well. Funny, engaging, knowledgeable. A true gem of a human. You will not have any regrets whatsoever of taking the time to learn about the area! 100% recommend!!
My wife and I visited Bisbee for the first time. We booked the tour with Viator. Our guide was Travis, and he was excellent. He is a native of Bisbee and knows the city through and through. He went out of his way to show us every nook and cranny of Bisbee and took us high above the city for extraordinary views. He answered a million of our questions and was very patient when we wanted to stop. He actually asked us if HE could go over the 2-hour time limit, as he wanted to make sure he showed us everything he wanted. He has an awesome, clean, AC-controlled (or if you want the top off, he will remove it) Jeep. It was very, very clean. We had a GREAT tour and would highly recommend you tour Bisbee with Travis.
This was an excellent trip! Travis took us all over Bisbee and he was accommodating and informative, and he needed things that only a local would know! can you all the great places to eat, you knew the history with all of the streets and he was very friendly and conscientious driver, and I would highly recommend this trip to anybody, especially with Travis
Travis is a native of Bisbee and his tour is chock full of knowledge of the town’s history. All presented with pride. It was a great way to see and learn about this wonderful, historically relevant, and quirky town.
Travis was very knowledgeable and would recommend him as a Jeep driver for others. He was very accommodating and patient with his guests.
We were a little early, Travis directed us to a free parking area and restrooms to use before we started. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable about the area and accommodating to what we wanted to see and explained things we didn’t even know to ask him about. He was gracious to stop for picture taking whenever we asked. He was able to talk and explain things while still being very aware of traffic and pedestrians all around us. He was already at our pick up point when we arrived 15 minutes early, willing to start the tour then and extended our tour time by almost 15 minutes afterwards also.
This Jeep Tour was excellent. Our guide was very accommodating. Travis, our guide, is a true local of Bisbee- born and raised. He knows everything about Bisbee.
Travis was very professional. My friend and I enjoyed our tour. He even took us places that were off the beaten path. I high recommend this tour.
Kyle could not have been nicer. As a Bisbee native, he had many anecdotes, historical information, and showed us many fun points of interest. He gave us detailed information about the mines. Very patient and accommodating for picture taking. We could not have asked for a better guide
Travis was extremely knowledgeable about the area, answered all our questions; we were very pleased with our tour.
Totally enjoyable. Guide was born/ raised in Bisbee. Individual group tour which allowed time gor questions/ stops etc. Only way to truly get the amazing picture of the history of the copper industry in this town
Travis made Bisbee come alive! The town gave us the impression of a town no one cared about with all of the closed shops and retaurants. Boy were we wrong. Once withTravis who took us around relating
stories of his boyhood there, his father's work on the mines, and what had happend to the Bisbee area over the years our minds were changed forever. We learned so many things like about Geronimo's attacks, John Wayne's frequent stays and his drinking buddy Lee Marvin's visits. it was interesting to learn how over the years various groups have settled there reviving the old copper mining town. He took us all around Old Bisbee, to the Lavendar Pit and over to Lowell answering all of our questions, making sure we were comforatble and giving us one of the best tours we have had any where in the world. A tour with Travis is an absolute must!
Very Knowledgeable native to Bisbee! Super nice guy! Took us to several wonderful places with Gorgeous virws
Travis was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. His customer service attitude was very professional and wanted us to have a great experience.
Travis is the soul operator of Big Jeep Tours in Bisbee. He grew up in the area and knows nearly everyone we passed during our tour. More importantly, he knows every nook and cranny in Bisbee. It was enjoyable listening to him recount his younger days and how the area has changed. We drove all over Bisbee and then over to the Lavender Open Pit Mines.
We stopped a few times for pictures at overlooks and he was very accommodating when we got a little warm and turned on the AC… unusual for this time of year. But it is what it is.
If you want a knowledgeable guide in a comfortable ride, Big Jeep tours is the company you want to hire.
Travis was a wonderful, personable, knowledgeable, courteous guide. We came with a specific historical interest, and he had all the knowledge and places to take us to the sites of the Bisbee strike in 1917. Jeep was clean and comfortable. The tour was the highlight of our Bisbee visit.
This tour is the best way to see and learn all about Bisbee and the surrounding area. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He truly loves the area and it show!
Extremely informative. He really knew the area and history. Great personality. Clean vehicle
Highly recommended
Guide Travis was excellent Bisbee born guilty of knowledge. Explored old historical buildings, structures, streets, history, viewed cavern
This was an excellent experience, we are so glad we booked it with Travis. He was born and raised here and is so knowledgeable about the area. He has a really nice comfortable jeep, and he made our tour very enjoyable, telling us all the interesting stories as well as the history of Bisbee and the mining business. I highly recommend Big Jeep Tours.
The tour was amazing and Travis went above and beyond. The jeep was very comfortable. Travis reached out ahead of time to ensure we knew where the meeting spot was and to make sure we arrived to Bisbee ok. Travis showed us so many areas of Bisbeee and growing up here he knew the history and many of the people who lived here. He was enthusiastic and so much fun to be with. He knew the best spots for pictures and great recommendations for food and events. He also took note of things we said to emphasize areas in Bisbee that would be of interest - very personalized service. Travis made the tour so much fun. Would highly recommend this tour with Travis specifically.
Travis is the best guide you could have in Bisbee. He is a native, very accommodating and is full of knowledge about the town and its history.
Worthwhile. Travis is knowledgeable, friendly, and goes beyond expectations.
Additionally, upon request Travis brought me to the border wall.
Learned so much about the area… highly recommend!! Travis was well versed on the Bisbee area & mining.
