5.00Our Tour was excellent. Our Guide was a 4th Generation Bisbee-ite with a wealth of information and stories. We saw one end of Bisbee to another and up to the Communication Tower for a Birds Eye view of the City. It’s the only way to see Bisbee without climbing all those stairs!
Knowledgeable and funny.

5.00Travis took us through Bisbee, the more and even the border! His knowledge of all was unbelievable. We learned so much about the history of Bisbee and its mines. I would highly recommend Travis and his enclosed jeep on a blustery day like yesterday!

5.00The Mountain, Mines & Old Bisbee 3 Hour Tour was fantastic!! Travis grew up in Bisbee and is a 3rd generation resident. Travis provided so much history with so much detail on Bisbee and a few of the surrounding areas. His tour included information on Bisbee from the beginning to current. We explored tight, hilly neighborhoods with so much character and rough, winding, hilly roads to reach the mountaintop that had breathtaking views!! There was SO much to see and take in on this tour! Travis pointed out several places to have our lunch, the one we chose was so delicious! The jeep was so comfortable with lots of room. He kept us both entertained and enthralled with all of his historic Bisbee knowledge! We highly recommend Big Jeep Tours! It was the highlight of our week-long visit to Arizona!
Take this tour--3 hour tour is worth your time and money
