PHOENIX SIGHTSEEING TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Ten Hours Through the Old West: Tombstone, Boothill Cemetery and San Xavier del Bac
A private, full-day sightseeing tour that brings Tombstone’s shootout drama and Boothill’s graveside stories together with a measured visit to the San Xavier del Bac Mission in Tucson.
Ten Hours Through the Old West: Tombstone, Boothill Cemetery and San Xavier del Bac.
This private, 10-hour sightseeing tour threads together two of southern Arizona’s most evocative sites: the raw frontier streets of Tombstone, complete with a staged shootout and a visit to Boothill Cemetery, and the white-walled San Xavier del Bac Mission near Tucson. The itinerary combines living-history moments, cemetery lore and mission architecture into a single, carefully paced day.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Boothill Cemetery and Tombstone’s Shootout
Walk the same dirt-lined streets where the Old West still performs for visitors: a staged shootout on Tombstone’s main drag and a contemplative stop at Boothill Cemetery that codifies the town’s violent past.
San Xavier del Bac Mission
A stop in Tucson lets you explore San Xavier del Bac, a mission known for its historic Spanish colonial architecture and cultural significance in the region.
A Curated Full-Day Experience
The private format compresses Tombstone’s theatrical moments, a Boothill visit and a mission stop into a single, memorable 10‑hour excursion with a provided lunch allowance.
