Raising History Back to Life

Donnie_M, Apr 2026
Kevin presented a knowledgeable and engaging tour of the characters of Tombstone’s prime days and ways.

Tombstone walking tour

Cynthia_G, Feb 2026
Very well prepared tour guide. Shared all the stories of Tombstone in great detail. He was a kind and thoughtful guide and was generous with his time. Another guide in town who worked for a competing company tried to give him some trouble and he handled it very professionally and respectfully. Never missed a beat.

Love history

Melodie_V, Feb 2026
It was really informational. However, most of the history talked about we had already heard (took the tour our last night in Tombstone). There were some tidbits we had not heard. Our tour guide Kevin seemed like a nice guy, but was too type A & tried to make jokes. The walk around the city was good, as we did go down streets Er had not ventured on our own.

Thankfully fun

Anthony_K, Dec 2025
It can be cold at night in the desert There is a lot of information to listen to and you may even meet a feeling you were not expecting

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience! You’re absolutely right—desert nights can be surprisingly cold, and the stories shared along the way can sometimes stir unexpected feelings. We aim to create an experience that’s not only informative, but also immersive and reflective. We appreciate you joining us and hope the tour left a lasting impression.

It was an ok experience. Guide was ok..definitely could have been better if the word ‘like’ wasn’t used as much and if more fluently spoken

The Moon was almost full that night we walked the streets of Tombstone

Thank you for your kind words about Digger — we’ll be sure to share them with him! He’ll be thrilled you had such a great experience.

Left without a tour

Rejeania_B, Jun 2025
The tour was canceled near the time leaving us with few options. They did offer another tour but after booking they called me back to say no kids allowed on the 2nd tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry for the last-minute cancellation and the confusion around the second tour. We understand how frustrating that can be and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll work on improving communication moving forward.

Larry was very knowledgeable and gave us great insight into the history of tombstone. He tailored the tour to us as we had two kids with us. It was great!

A great time

Deborah_G, Dec 2024
Larry was great! A wealth of knowledge and very personable. He was able to give more information than we have heard in any of our other tours..

Highly recommended

Todd_C, Jul 2024
Larry was an amazing tour guide, lots of historical information, and answered all of our questions. Recommend him and the tour. 10 out of 10!

Great tour guide!!

Pam_C, Jul 2024
Katrina was so knowledgable and went into such detail about places along the tour! She had first hand accounts of spooky activity in Tombstone! We had a great night learning so much about the town!

Great tour

June_B, Aug 2023
Tess was awesome we had a great time and enjoyed the stories. Would love to another tour next time we are in town going to recommend to my clients.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank You for this review. Please come back and see us again soon.

Ghosts brought to life

James_T, Jul 2023
Larry, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My wife and I were the only 2 people in our tour group. My wife had a sore knee and Larry was very attuned to making sure that she was okay. He had many stories and photographs that brought our to life.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks for your review on Larry! We are so glad to hear you had a great time on the tour. It was our pleasure to have you as our guest.

Aliens scared away the ghosts

James_L, May 2023
Lots of history, only saw aliens flying over . A line of 20 lights flew over when we walked down Allen St.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear you had a great time on your tour. What do you think the lights were? Hope you got a picture! It was our pleasure to have you as a guest. We hope you will visit us again in this city or one of our other

Yours was less ghost tales and more history lesson

Candace_R, Apr 2023
Very informative on local history. It didn’t have a spooky vibe but i didn’t know what to expect as i had never done a haunted tour before. Was interesting for sure.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

We are sorry you experience was not what you expected. At Ghost City Tours we strive to have the most accurate and vetted stories of our locations. We appreciate your feedback.

Total disappointment

Cristie_E, Apr 2023
The guide was pretty boring. More of just some historical tales, rather than ghost hauntings. And the historical tales weren’t very detailed nor comprehensive. We spent most of the time feeding a deer..? The pictures the guide showed us of “ghosts” were ridiculous. We left early.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the tour did not live us to your expectations. If you would like to try a different experience, please contact our guest experience team. We'd like a chance to try to make it right.

History is awesome

George_H, Apr 2023
The tour guide was awesome . Told us alot of tombstone history . How it really went down . Not how the movies portray it . I liked it alot . Thanks Again

We Loved Pepper and Belle

Bailey_K, Jan 2023
Pepper and Belle were very knowledgeable and so nice! They told us so many good stories as we walked through the downtown area and even got a little reinactment from Pepper where the gun fight was! Highly recommend this tour

A step back in time

Joshua_W, Jan 2023
Went on this tour with my girlfriend, was guided by a very pleasant and knowledgeable couple of the history of Tombstone and the people that have lived here throughout the decades. They were very descriptive of significant events including the O.K. Corral, Birdcage Theater, and many other spots. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!!

Awesome!

Scott_B, Oct 2022
Tess was a fun, knowledgeable and all around excellent host for our Tombstone ghost tour! She had all the "inside" info that included photos and videos that she shared with us throughout the tour. She actually had more information than we bargained for when she found out where we were staying - was fun trying to sleep that night! Anyway, I would definitely recommend this tour, and you'll be in good hands if you're lucky enough to get Tess!

We got caught in a rain...

Joanne_S, Jul 2022
We got caught in a rain storm a out 20 minutes into the tour. Everyone was soaked. The guide didn't have a plan. We should all receive a refund.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

We are very sorry to hear that your tour got caught up in the rain! If you would like to give us a call we can get you set up with some tickets to tour with us in any city we tour in all across the US with our expiration so we can give you a much better experience!

Ghost Tour

sharon_w, May 2022
We enjoyed learning about the history of Tombstone. The guide was knowledgeable. Would have enjoyed more information about the Bird Cage Theater.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We really appreciate this! Thank you for the rating! We hope to see you again soon.

It was ok

Sabrina_K, May 2022
It was ok. Our tour guide was ok. The history was ok. If you’re looking for a paranormal experience (we weren’t so that’s fine) you won’t get it on this tour. The price was ok. I probably wouldn’t recommend it, it was nothing special and nothing you couldn’t get from google.

Response from Host, May 2022

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a 5-star experience with us.We appreciate all feedback, and we assure you we will use this for future tour improvement.
