  • We had little knowledge of the history of Flagstaff. This tour is a must for history and architectural buffs. The Riordan Family were visionaries. Our guide was terrific. Highly recommend

  • This is a super cool place! All the pictures are just from the outside of Riordan Mansion. The Park Service staff were incredibly nice to me and my girls. They loaned us umbrellas to walk the property and gave us a map detailing each of the different points of interest. I would highly recommend coming here for the entire family. This place is a historic gem in the center of town!
  • My young children were WAY more interested in the guided tour than I thought they'd be. They were asking so many questions! So, I would say this place is a great opportunity to teach your kiddos about some history. The tour guide even stayed 20 minutes late to continue answering questions. The tour guide was fabulous and so was the rest of the staff. Amazing Flagstaff gem that holds so much of Flagstaff's history - a definite must do.
