Jerome Tour

We will check out the unique, historic town of Jerome, Arizona. On our way, we will explore the ancient Sinagua ruin, Tuzigoot National Monument. The name Tuzigoot means “crooked river”, as it sits above a bend of the Verde River. You will be fascinated, learning about these native people of the past. We will then head over to the unique town of Jerome, Arizona, where you will have time for lunch on your own. See a glimpse of what was once a wild west mining town, that is now a charming artist community. You will be surprised by the quirky, fun homes built right into the side of the Black Hills, and learn the folklore of this haunted town. You will visit relics of the old mining town and other interesting sites at both lower and upper Jerome. You will have time for shopping, the stores in Jerome have many unique items, and with the local artists who inhabit the town, you are sure to find artwork or crafts that you love.

Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the tour since we’ll be traveling in a van?

A: There's no specific weight limit mentioned, but the van is designed to comfortably fit a group. Just keep in mind that you’ll have to share space, so it’s best to travel light. Also, if you have concerns, I’d recommend reaching out to Ma Pa Tours directly—they're super friendly and helpful!

Q: How far is Tuzigoot from Sedona? Is it worth the trip?

A: It's about a 30-minute drive from Sedona to Tuzigoot. The ruins are definitely worth it if you're into history! The views are stunning, and the guide shares a lot of interesting stories about the Sinagua people. Plus, you’ll get a great background for your time in Jerome!

Q: What should I wear for the Jerome Tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Dress comfortably since you’ll be walking quite a bit in Jerome and at Tuzigoot. Sneakers or hiking shoes are a good choice! The weather can be unpredictable, so layers are smart too. Bring a hat and sunscreen if it’s sunny!

Thinking of gifting the Jerome Tour! Anyone been?

I’m considering getting this Jerome Tour as a gift for my parents who love history and artsy towns. I’m curious if the guide is good and how much time they get to explore Jerome itself. They enjoy shopping for unique items. Is it a fun experience overall?

Just did the Jerome Tour—so cool!

I went on the Jerome Tour last weekend and it was awesome! The Tuzigoot ruins were so fascinating, and then exploring the town of Jerome felt like stepping back in time. The quirky houses built into the hills were amazing! Make sure to try the local art shops; I found some beautiful handmade pottery!
