5.00The tour started on time and we met up with Shane, who was our tour leader. IThere was only three of us in this group, but we enjoyed the tour immensely. It was very informative as far as the history of Prescott and all the surrounding area. We were with a friend who lives in Prescott and so she asked a number of questions and was also sharing with Shane some information that she had obtained already regarding Prescott
This tour will make you fall in love with Prescott

5.00Shane was an incredible tour guide! Extremely knowledgable and personable. We have been to Prescott several times not fully understanding its rich history. Shane brought it to life for us. He was as excited to tell us the stories as we were to hear them. HIGHLY recomemended.
Love the tour!

5.00I have taken friends on three of Shane's tours, and I never get bored. He actually does keep updating his tours with interesting new nuggets of history. I have been on eight historical walking tours in Prescott (taking my out of town guests), and Shane is by far the VERY BEST guide in terms of his historical information, stories and the passion in which he delivers those.
