New Info on Optional Excursions
A few tantalizing new experiences have been added and we want to share the latest updates on availability for some fan favorites. Take a peek below to make the most of your time in Tucson!
Tombstone: Beyond the Legends
We get it—Tombstone has a bit of a reputation. From over-dramatized Hollywood portrayals to hustlers of the past, the town can definitely feel a little kitschy. That’s why we’ve added a phenomenal step-on guide in addition to some new experiences to the Wild West Tombstone Excursion to help bring the real story of this region to life.
Meet Mauro Trejo
We’re excited to introduce Mauro Trejo, a native Tucsonan and public historian, serving on the boards of two museums, with family roots in the area dating back to 1780. Mauro will be stepping on as our guide for the journey to Tombstone, sharing captivating stories and insights about this fascinating corner of the country.
Mining and Trolley Tours – NEW!
Travelers now have 3 options to chose from during their time in historic Tombstone:
- Good Enough Mine Tour – Discover Tombstone’s silver rush and vibrant local history with an expert guide on this highly acclaimed mining tour. Step into the world of the men who sparked the Southwest’s mining boom, turning Tombstone into the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco in the early 1880s.
- Historic Trolley Tour – Stay above ground while learning about local legends and colorful characters beyond the Hollywood portrayals. The Good Enough Trolley Tour is a historical six-mile tour, covering over 55 landmarks in the town of Tombstone, the Mining Districts and the Cemeteries as well as the Ed Schieffelin Monument.
- Rose Tree Museum & The Bird Cage Theatre Walking Tour – Enjoy a walking tour of town with Mauro, visiting the iconic Bird Cage Theatre and the Rose Tree Museum.

Tasting Tucson
Our experience on the Flavors of Tucson Food & Walking Tour was one of our absolute favorite activities while in town! We learned so much about the city’s history and local lore from our amazing guide—while sampling some of Tucson’s top treats along the way. We’ve extended the food tour experience to give guests more time to explore Tucson’s history and sights, and we’ve added an additional food stop to make the experience even richer.
🌶️ Food tours on January 17 are already full, but there’s still space available on January 20—don’t miss out!
Mt Lemmon Vistas
We loved driving through the stunning vistas of Mt. Lemmon and will be adding a fun, last-minute secret stop on our route back into town! This brief—yet unforgettable—40-mile drive takes you from the iconic saguaro cacti at the base, through changing foliage, all the way up to ponderosa pines and aspens at the top. What a unique experience!
🏔️ There’s still space available on the January 20 Mt Lemmon Excursion—contact the office if you’d like to join.
Floating Above Tucson
The Hot Air Balloon Tucson Panoramas excursion offers a serene float over the Sonoran Desert, giving you a breathtaking bird’s-eye view.
🎈 We have just 1 spot left on the January 17 excursion, with space still available on January 20—reserve your spot before it’s gone!
Exploring Kartchner
Only discovered in 1974, Kartchner Caverns is a rare gem, a living (still growing) cave system showcasing a full array of colorful cave formations—from stalactites and stalagmites to soda straws, cave popcorn, shields, columns, totems, drapery, and even “bacon.”
