Step back in time on Prescott's streets where history isn't just told, it's experienced. Unlike typical tours that offer surface-level facts, this immersive journey brings you face-to-face with Arizona's territorial capital through vivid storytelling that happens right where history unfolded.
Walk the very streets where the Great Whiskey Row Fire of 1900 raged as your guide recreates the drama of ordinary citizens becoming heroes. Feel the urgency as flames engulfed building after building, and witness the remarkable resilience of a community determined to rebuild their beloved town.
From the historic courthouse plaza to the elegant Victorian mansions of Nob Hill, discover meticulously researched tales of famous figures and everyday pioneers. Each story reveals how Prescott shaped Arizona's identity and connects you to a past that guidebooks simply can't capture. This is a transformative journey that will forever change how you see the American West.

5.00Shane was super informational and the way he shared the information was so engaging! I learned so much and loved being able to be outside looking at the actual buildings as he wove a story of their history. He was so patient about questions and welcomed them, which I really appreciated.
Great historic walking tour of downtown Prescott, Whiskey Row.

5.00Shane and his tour were both great! I learned a lot about Whiskey Row, the fire that burned downtown down, some local legends and some recent town drama! Shane also does a Haunted Whiskey Row and I'm doing that tonight! I highly recommend this to learn more about Prescott. #PrescottTours # freakyfoottours
