Megan was an amazing guide! - I surprised my husband with a weekend trip to Eureka Springs (for his b-day). This was our first time to Eureka Springs, and wanted to do “touristy” stuff. I booked a Downtown Underground tour, and Megan was our guide. She was very knowledgeable of the history, and patient with our questions, She even recommend some great local places to shop and eat! Thank you for making our weekend a great experience! I will definitely book another tour the next time we visit.

Interesting Tour and Good Info - Tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. The length of the tour was perfect. My only complaint is that the ending location is pretty far away from the starting point, so its hard to plan for parking.
