• The Presidio Trail/turquoise Trail - On our Turquoise Trail Walking Tours, you will experience fascinating history, architectural gems, and interesting stories from our experienced guides.

Begin the tour at the Presidio Museum and hear about how its settlement had a significant impact on the City of Tucson’s settlement by Europeans. See the longest-inhabited building in Tucson. Learn about Presidio Park sculptures and why they are significant to Tucson’s history and culture. Walk through the Barrio Viejo, and area that grew in population in the late 1800s and early 1900s and became very ethnically diverse. View the former Carnegie Library building, which is today’s Children’s Museum. Discover Hotel Congress, built in 1919 across from the railroad depot, where John Dillinger’s gang rented rooms and asked firemen to carry out their bags of machine guns when a fire broke out. This ultimately led to their arrest. End the tour at the Fox Theater, which has been restored to its former greatness. More stops are also included.
