Travel back in time to one of the most famous Old West towns with a day on the streets of Tombstone. The home of the famous OK Corral lets you experience the lives of outlaws, businessmen, miners, and cattlemen who flocked to the area for a chance to strike it rich on the frontier. A ride straight from your hotel takes you out of the city for your visit to the historic town. While you're in Tombstone, pay a visit to the original gathering spots for outlaws and gunmen, like Big Nose Kate's Saloon and the Bird Cage Theatre, which earned a reputation as the wickedest nightspot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast. True to the reputation of the Wild West, gunfights and stand-offs were a regular occurrence, and many of their victims are buried at the infamous Boot Hill Cemetery—named for the men who died and were buried, with their boots still on. On your way back, visit the White Dove of the Desert; one of the Southwest's best-preserved missions at San Xavier del Bac.

Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to do the Tombstone day trip?

A: I'd recommend going between October and April. The weather is a lot cooler, and you'll avoid the scorching summer heat. Plus, Tombstone has some great fall festivals that make it even more fun. Just be sure to check if there's any special events happening that day!

Q: Are there any age limits for this experience?

A: No specific age limits, but it's more of an adult-oriented experience due to the historical themes and some content at places like the Bird Cage Theatre. Kids are welcome, though, and there's plenty to see that can be fun for them too. Just keep in mind it can be a long day for little ones.

Q: What should I wear for the Tombstone day trip?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking around a lot! I'd go with breathable, casual clothing—think light cotton or moisture-wicking materials. A hat and sunscreen are also great for the sun, especially if you're going in warmer months. Don't forget a light jacket for the evening!

Just got back from the Tombstone trip—what an experience!

I recently did the Private Tombstone Arizona and San Xavier Mission day trip, and wow, it was amazing! The history came alive as we walked the streets of Tombstone. Big Nose Kate's Saloon was a blast, and the gunfight reenactments were super fun. The mission was beautiful too! Just a tip: wear comfy shoes because you'll do a lot of walking. Totally recommend it as a gift for history buffs!

Considering gifting the Tombstone day trip—need opinions!

I’m thinking of surprising my dad with this Tombstone day trip experience for his birthday. He loves Western films and history—do you think he’d enjoy it? I’m a bit worried it might be too much walking for him, though. Any advice from those who've gone?
