      Kelly is a former teacher and keeps you engaged from the beginning to the end of the walking tour with lively detailed historical accounts of true crime stories. You’ll also take well timed walking breaks. My entire family loved it. Definitely recommend!

      Kelly was very...

      Kelly was very informative. We arrived a few minutes before the tour started. Amplified hearing devices were provided to make sure we could hear her. The tour gave tons of history about Tucson. We learned about a lot of different crimes that have occurred throughout the history of this beautiful city. There were breaks to sit in the shade. Also an area/time to stop for water and bathroom break. Great tour and an amazing tour guide. You won’t be sorry booking this fun adventure!

      Kelly did an excellent job telling stories of crime and murder. The history is told as you walk through the streets of the areas affected. She was interesting and kept our attention. She answered questions and took pictures for us. Kelly uses a microphone with providing us headsets. We heard everything even though there was the street noise. We had a great time.

      Where to begin..... Great experience for a solo traveler. One of the best tours I've been on...well researched and presented. Interesting, fun and a lovely walk around downtown. Kelly and Sean are not only high quality tour guides, they're good peeps as well! Can't recommend enough!

      We had a great experience with Kelly as a you guide. It’s great to learn about local crimes and Kelly makes it incredibly engaging. I took my parents who live in Tucson and they learned a lot too!
