Entertain your out-of-town guests this holiday season with this wild west tour to Tombstone—where they wanna go, then to Bisbee—where they oughta go! We’ll head south, with a stop for coffee & goodies, on our way to “The Town Too Tough To Die.” Tombstone, with its rowdy, drunken, bullet-riddled past, is home to several great little restaurants, including the world-famous Big Nose Kate’s Saloon. Lunch is on self at the restaurant of your choice and afterward we’ll take a little time to stroll the very same blood-soaked streets as Wild Bill Hickok, Doc Holliday, Johnny Ringo, and Wyatt Earp—just to name a few! Later we’ll jump back in the Transits headed for Bisbee. Founded in 1880, driven by a booming mining industry, Bisbee became a thriving community nearly overnight. Now a living ghost town, Bisbee is home to interesting shops and galleries, terrific restaurants and neighborhoods full of artfully restored Victorian and European-style homes. We’ll spend some time exploring the downtown area and the Brewery Gulch District, before visiting some of Bisbee’s most notable sites, including St. Patrick’s Catholic Church—a magnificent monument to Bisbee’s early residents who wanted to transform a mining camp into one of the largest commercial centers in Arizona. Located 90 miles southeast of Tucson in the Mule Mountains, Bisbee draws visitors from around the world.
