Historic Arizona Tours (HAT)
Experienced Guide
Customer Service is everything in this business and we have been working in that line of business for the last 35 years. Knowing and loving Arizona is also crucial to a successful tour operation and that is what we have been up to for the last 40 years. Being President and a Board member of the Zane Grey's West Society over the last 25 years gave our owner the opportunity to plan and lead many of the Annual Conventions all over the US, but mainly here in Arizona. As a Board Member of the Skull Valley Historical Society for several years Todd Newport was able to participate in the historic preservation and speaking events that were occurring each month. Always close to the history of this great state, it is a pleasure to be able to take clients to places they have heard about but have never had the chance to visit.
Historic Sites
You will notice that our company focuses on more historic locations than the more usual tourist centric hot spots. We specialize in taking our clients to more of the historic & out of the way points of interest in Arizona. We have added information on this site of suggested locations that are not on our current tour agendas, but might be of interest to you in a personalized tour schedule.
Customer Service
Our goal is for you to get to experience the historic locations you have heard about in Arizona and be more than satisfied upon your return. We have the ability to make changes to a tour to customize it to fit your needs if at all possible and we are more than happy to make that happen for you. We strive to deliver you that 5 Star, top quality day that you will remember and tell your friends about.
