Priscilla was our guide and she was wonderful! She is very passionate about Tuscon, it's history, and all it has to offer! She was very informative, answered all our questions and was a lot of fun! My husband and I highly recommend this tour!

Priscilla was fun and personable . She has great knowledge of the history and area and is excited to share it with others. She also shared her own personal stories that made it even better! I’d recommend.

Only suggestion is to put a small cooler of water bottles to be available. Otherwise everything was great.

Priscilla is a wonderful tour guide! She brings her own background and knowledge of Tucson's history together to create an engaging walking/driving tour. My whole family enjoyed her insight into the history of Tucson - it's people, homes, vegetation and fun facts. We loved her sense of humor and her love of the city she was so excited to share with us. She left us with lots of great recommendations for fun things to do and great places to eat in Tucson!

Our group ranged in age from 24 - 84. Priscilla was able to adjust the pace of our tour as needed to meet everyone's needs and level of activity. The tour was very well planned and she was very eager to share her knowledge of Tucson and the area. We would highly recommend this tour and any tour offered by Priscilla.

My guide is Priscilla is very informative and kind.She told me many Tucson’s culture and also where to find good food!
I really loved it and if I visited here in the future I’ll definitely choose her private tour again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Raquel and learning about her city. Tucson is a colorful town with culture and a zest for living life to its fullest. We highly recommend you carve off the time to get to know Tucson from behind the scenes.

Knowledgeable and personable guide.And an interesting tour with fun facts. Just be aware you are expected to do a fair amount of driving in your own car. And on my tour participants had to pay for parking at one stop. Also the meeting place was outside street number 120. Not 100 as directed on the web site.
Barbara_P, Mar 2023
The whole tour was amazing. Our tour guide knew a lot of the history as well as the best places to eat...She really loves the City's history and it shows. She also showed us things that I don't think would be on an average tour. You see a lot in the few hours of the tour. Also wear comfortable shoes because there is A LOT of walking.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
I’m glad you got to learn and see many things! Hopefully you also loved Tucson during our time together ❤️
