Best Way to Explore Tucson - We were first-time visitors to Tucson, and this bike was a fabulous way to first explore the town. The single-speed bikes were easy to use, and there were very little hills or elevation. Our group cruised around the various neighborhoods, and we covered much more ground than walking. Our guide stop every 5 minutes to point-out sights and tell historical stories. If you go to Tucson, you gotta do this!!!

Cycling historic Tucson - Worthwhile activity to see parts of the city. The cycling is mostly flat and the bikes are comfortable. Tucson has many bike paths and lanes which some are used for this tour. Lorraine was fabulous and full of stories about the city of Tucson and she made sure we were all safe. Only thing I would recommend is to allow time to see some of the buildings inside or add on a few stops to sample food. Overall recommend this tour.

Great way to start visit to Tucson - The biking tour lived up to its name and reviews. Lorraine reached out ahead of time to confirm logistics, and was friendly and knowledgeable during the tour. Pacing of the tour was good with over 20 stops for areas of interest -- murals, historical homes, historical sites, attractions, and restaurants. Mostly flat route made for easy biking. Bikes were in good condition and she provided ample bottles of water.

Neat way to experience Tucson - We chose to take this tour at the beginning of a week long vacation in Tucson. It was a great way to see the heart of the area, understand the historical context and enjoy the murals, native landscaping and architecture of the area. Lorraine helped us get the right fit on our bikes and made sure we had access to restrooms during our over 2 hour ride.
