Highlight of our visit to Tucson - Lorraine lead us on an excellent bike tour of Tucson. She was always aware of our progress along the wonderful route, providing us with knowledgeable information along the way. Both myself and my sister are ‘young’ seniors and we had no difficulty completing the tour. The circuit Lorraine took us on was very interesting, so much so we went back to “El Charo” for lunch!

Great Bike Tour! - Had a wonderful time on the Historic Bike Tour. The bikes we used were in excellent condition, and Lorraine was an awesome tour guide (showed us all around the older part of Tucson and even took extra time to find my daughter a road runner in the wild -- which she really wanted to see). Highly recommended!

Informative intro to Tucson via bike - Wonderful tour of downtown Tucson we never would have done on our own. We visited Tucson for a wedding and thought this would be a fun, informative way to start our trip. We learned so much on this easy 7 mile pretty flat bike ride. Highly recommend this tour!

Take the morning tour! - It'd been years since I was last in Tuscon. The tour was perfect to see how well the city has worked to make it eclectic, colorful, clean and inviting. We enjoyed the entire tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful of our safety on the road. Thank you

Breezey Biking - Lorraine provided fun tidbits about Tucson's history, connected dots that were not as obvious, and was gracious during our tour. She was happy to take breaks. Ride is very easy with only one or two hills. Otherwise, it's a glide through all the downtown area. Lots to see. Definitely eat something light before hand and hydrate during the ride!
