5.00It was a great experience! Doug provided information about Oatman as we drove there, as well as about the areas we were going through. He also gave ideas of what to make sure that we saw once we got there. On the way back he also provided a video of info on towns along Route 66. I learned of new places I would like to visit now. Thank you!

5.00The Oatman Bus Tour exceeded my expectations! Our tour guide, Douglas made the trip so enjoyable. He went above and beyond explaining our route on Hwy 66 and giving us ideas what to see and do while in Oatman. We left from the beautiful London Bridge resort in Lake Havasu City. The burrows were really friendly in Oatman.The food at the Oatman Hotel was delicious. Only $25.00 for bus ride. There were 16 people on the air-conditioned bus. A must see town if you like rustic old mining towns and burrows!
Great experience on Bus Tour to Oayman

Lake Havasu City to Oatman - a must do

5.00Outstanding! A must do when you are in Lake Havasu City. Our tour guide, Doug, was informative and the trip to/from Oatman did not disappoint. Oatman, now a small tourist town, is filled with history of Arizona in the days of old. Nestled in the tri-state area of AZ it is truly a wonder, and the burros are kind of cute too. You get on the bus about 10:00 in Lake Havasu City, take an informative ride to Oatman (with Doug as your guide) enjoy a really neat town, catch a meal and a gunfight and finally return about 4:00 pm. Learn more than you expect and let someone else do the driving. Loved it. Will do it again!

4.00The guide was great. Oatman was fine. Pretty cool little tourist mining town. The burrows were cute. Mostly shops of various types. The scenery of the mountains was great though.
Great town to visit

5.00What fun! Doug was great at making sure we all felt secure and had a good time. We learned so much about the history of the area and the present day dynamics of life in north western Arizona. The town of Oatman didn't disappoint. Good food, friendly shop owners, gun fight reenactment, and burrows!
