TESTIMONIAL
The highlight of our trip to Arizona was our Big Jeep Tour with owner, Travis. Travis was born and raised in Bisbee. Multiple generations of his family have lived and worked there, some in the mines. As a result, his tour information is first-hand and personally experienced. He knows dates, people, places, and history. It was fascinating to us. Travis founded Big Jeep Tours (BJT) because he was afraid the history of Bisbee would be forgotten and lost. As a result, the purpose and passion of BJT is to inform and share with as many people as possible, the history of Bisbee. Lastly, Travis is gracious and caring. He was always conscious of our well-being, always asking if we were OK and comfortable. I highly recommend you do not miss the Big Jeep Tour.
