    Great overview of the history of Tucson.

    Barbara_O, Mar 2026
    Taffy was very accommodating, knowledgable and friendly. We had out of state company and this was the perfect tour to learn about the history of Tucson. The van was very clean, the temperature was perfect and water available for all.

    Nice tour of the historical highlights of Tucson. Our guide Mike was a font of knowledge and very friendly. We also enjoyed the time we had to explore.

    MIssed the Starting Location BUT Our guide worked it out!

    Terri_W, Feb 2026
    We went to the wrong starting location and Kathy called to check on us. We ended up meeting with the group at the first location. Kathy was great at reviewing information that we had missed. She also drove us back to our starting location. Kathy was a great guide and very helpful. The tour was great! Enjoyed the Mission the most.

    Not my cup of tea

    Mike was a very informative guide, but I think I expected more from the city. I found Tucson to be very run-down so I was very disappointed with the tour as a whole. I can say I would not recommend a visit to Tucson.

    Great history given of...

    Great history given of Tucson along with American history. Saw a great mix of old and new as we were driven around the city.

    We enjoyed the docent at the presidio museum. The driver was very knowledgeable and informative and helpful.

    Excellent Overview of the History of Tucson

    Thom_D, Jun 2024
    Our guide, Mike, had a wealth of information about the founding of Tucson. The visit to the White Dove and the Presidio Museum were excellent. The only thing we missed was a walking tour of Viejo Tucson (but that is another tour).

    Best guide ever!

    Excellent Historical Tour of Tucson

    Cynthia_Z, Feb 2024
    My sisters and I went on the historical tour of Tucson with our guide Tafe. She was very knowledgeable and answered our questions. Tafe was also very flexible and let us spend more time at the places we were interested in. The St Augustine Cathedral was the highlight and not to be missed. Since we had never been to Tucson before, we loved hearing the detailed history of Tucson and seeing the historical places, including the presidio. Definitely recommend.

    Not worth the time or money

    John_C, Jan 2024
    Tour guide 30 minutes late. Never stopped talking long enough to ask questions. Only good part was the Mission.

    We had the best tour guide ever. He was so knowledgeable and personable. We were the only ones on the tour. I’m so glad they didn’t cancel. Because we were the only ones, our tour guide tailored the trip for us. Thanks for the great day!

    Just Great

    Mike was grand. The history about Tucson that he shared was very interesting. Be sure to ask him about the origins of the UofA in Tucson. It is one for the books. All in all a very good time.

    Knowledge of Tucson history was very good and she answered all of our questions.

    Jamie_o, Dec 2023
    The guide was right on time. Her knowledge of Tucson history was very good. She answered all of our questions and even dropped us at a store I said I wanted to visit.

    Informative and pleasant tour.

    Michael_C, Nov 2023
    The guide provided solid overview of the elements of the tour. She was pleasant and accommodating. Miscommunication on start time for tour which was not the best, but as we were only couple there was room for recovery.

    Historical, wide ranging, nice afternoon

    Laurie_M, Nov 2023
    Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly and accommodating. The mission was fascinating and she gave us so much information about the area. We were also very grateful that she picked us up at a different location when we ran into a snag earlier that day. Great trip! Highly recommend!!!
