I wish the group size were a tad bit smaller, but I was able to hear the guide. We did get some odd photos when there were EVP spikes and my pictures before and after were clear.

He drove us all over town and told us about every aspect of how Bisbee has grown and changed over the years, all about the town's mining history, gave us anecdotes about many of the building and residences, explained the various architectural styles of some of the most beautiful buildings, and because we have an interest in the paranormal, gave us some ghostly history too. I can't recommend this tour enough. It is definitely money well spent.

WOW - Terry, our driver / tour guide is a walking, talking expert on Bisbee. Him, his parents and…read moregrand parents were born and raised in Bisbee. He is probably more knowledgeable about the area than anybody else (that's still alive LOL). He can even tell you when a historic property was built (and there are hundreds), who built it (and why), who occupied it and how much is cost to build (and the price it sold for if it was ever sold). The man is a talking encyclopedia for Bisbee history. He pointed out things to us as we drove by that you would have never noticed even if you were standing right in front of it. There are no two houses the same in Bisbee. Each home was built for different reasons at different times over the centuries. Incredible what it took to build most of the homes into the hillsides when you consider they where built over a hundred years ago. Terry can tell you the purpose and history of just about every business in the town. We had no idea there were so many brothels and jails. He pointed out one house to us that was a previous jail, but now has been converted to a three story house. The windows in the front still have the iron jail bars on them - very cool to see in person. Take the tour for yourself and see this incredible area. Strongly recommend you book the 2-hour Lavender Jeep Mile High Tour with TERRY as your guide. Also, take the Copper Queen Mine tour as well when visiting Bisbee !

The gentleman up front was very nice as was the woman in the shop. We snagged the last copy -- which was also signed! - then proceeded to pick up some souvenirs.

Honestly, this was the best mine tour we've done in Arizona. You check in about 30 minutes before the tour. There's a little shop to browse, a spot to sit, and a short movie in the back that gives you a great background on the mine and how copper is made. The tour itself is about an hour, all underground. You ride in on a little train that you sit on kind of like a bike, and the temperature stays a cool mid-60s the whole time. They give you a hard hat, light, safety vest, and even a number tag - just like real miners use - so they know nobody gets left behind. Along the way, the train stops a few times so you can get off, check out artifacts, and walk into different areas while Steve tells more stories. When you come back up to the surface, have your sunglasses ready - the sunlight feels unbelievably bright after being underground. It was the highlight of our full day in Bisbee and something you do NOT want to miss.

Had spent the early morning hours going to the historical places in Tombstone, ate lunch at Big Nosed Kate's. We met our guide Mark at the time that was told and he was prompt. We went on the Johnny Ringo's Grave tour which included some ghosts towns to and from the site. Went to a jail, cemetery, various ghost towns, scenic views and of course Johnny Ringo's grave. Lots of great stories and felt like we're on Johnny Ringo's last ride. A much greater understanding of the terrain, the border stories, rancher stories and many experiences of Mark and the area. Ringo's grave alone is worth the long trip. Lots of great memories and pictures. Tour ended up longer than announced. We are extremely happy and recommend Mark as your tour guide. If we are in the area again, will look them up for another tour.

Turquoise was also found in this pit and is sold in Bisbee. The pit is 900 feet deep and has a toxic reddish blue water pool at the bottom. The Lavender Pit was named in honor of the general manager of Phelps Dodge Corporation Harrison M. Lavender (1890-1952). Phelps Dodge Corporation are the ones that opened the Lavender Pit in the 50's. You can view the Lavender Pit at a scenic stop on highway 80. It is a quick stop and there is plenty of places to park. There is information about the pit and a WW2 memorial at the scenic stop. For photos, there are a few large holes in the chain link fence that you can take pictures with your camera. It's worth a short visit to see the depths of the Lavender Pit and the colors that make up its steep walls.
