Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but I'd say it’s best for kids 8 and up. The tour can get a bit long for really young ones, especially the historical bits. Just make sure they can handle the 4.5 hours! They’ll enjoy the stories, though!

Q: What should I wear? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll have some walking during the free time. I wore sneakers and it was perfect! The tour is mostly in the van, but you might want layers because Sedona can get chilly, especially in the morning.

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if something comes up?

A: Yes! The company is pretty flexible. Just give them a call or email at least 24 hours before your scheduled time, and they’ll work with you to find a new date. Super accommodating!

Just did the Historic Tour of Jerome - Here’s my take!

I recently went on the Historic Tour of Jerome and it was epic! Our guide was super knowledgeable, and I learned so much about the mining history and the quirky facts about Cottonwood. The free time was perfect for grabbing lunch and checking out the local shops. I went with my parents and we all had a blast. If you’re in Sedona, definitely consider this tour!

Thinking about gifting the Jerome tour for my dad’s birthday!

My dad is a huge history buff and I’m considering getting him this tour for his upcoming birthday. It sounds like such a great way to spend a day! I love that it includes hotel pickup. Has anyone else gifted this experience? Would he enjoy it?
