Tucson's downtown is unique. - We were fascinated by all the interesting homes and other buildings in central Tucson. Lorraine did a great job guiding us and relating the local history.

A great orientation to Tucson - We wanted to get oriented to the historical downtown Tucson and figured this bike tour would be a good way to do it. Tucson Bike Tours more than lived up to our expectations. Lorraine was a knowledgeable guide and we covered a lot of territory in two hours. The bike tour oriented us such that we headed to a recommended restaurant, two museum tours and some shopping. A perfect way to get to know the area. Highly recommended (as long as you like to ride).

Changed my perspective about Tucson! - I had such a good time riding around the different neighborhoods near downtown. I got to see lots of cool sights I wouldn’t have seen just driving around the city. Lorraine was a great tour guide!

Easy ride! - We covered all the areas of downtown and then some! Lorraine was soo knowledgeable about the history and took us to many spots. Beautiful homes and scenery along the easy ride. I suggest doing this tour early in your stay as she will recommend restaurants and places to visit. Thank you!

TUCSON BIKE RIDE- an absolute joy! 👍🏻🚲🫶🏼 - Absolutely wonderful time!!! Lorraine was amazingly knowledgeable and funny. I love the spots she took us(some off the beaten path) we had a good workout- but it was really just an awesome overall experience. We worked out, learned about Tucson, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Totally recommend. Also my mom is in her 70s and I am in my 30s, and we both felt comfortable in keeping pace and not rushed or uncomfortable. Thank you Lorraine! You are awesome!

Terrific Way to Spend Two Hours - Our tour guide, Lorraine, was excellent, being very attentive to the needs of her riders. We packed in beautiful murals, anecdotes from Tucson’s history, architectural highlights, and rode through different neighborhoods, learning about them at our stops. We have taken many bike tours when we visit new cities, and this was one of the best!!

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!
