Great Tour - We met Priscilla at the main entrance of mercado San Agustín and after a quick tour of that interesting place she grabbed a delicious cookie for us from the bakery there and we spent 3 great hours exploring the various historic barrios nearby. We saw places of historical notoriety, simple beauty and great elegance as we explored the historic vs recent architectural aspects of homes and buildings in the area. It was a 5 star event and Priscilla is a wonderful tour guide.

Tucson's Famous and Infamous History Revealed - Priscilla was just terrific! My friend Pat, who moved to Tucson last year, and I learned sooo much about her new home town! Priscilla covered it all -- the bustling Mercado San Agustin, the beautiful Courthouse, the historic Hotel Congress, the wonderful visual richness and history of Barrio Viejo and adjacent neighborhoods, concluding at El Tiradito Wishing Shrine. As well as considerable knowledge, she has great energy and humor and made the tour very memorable and fun for the both of us. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Informative, fun, and a lovely person giving a great tour of Tuscon. - Pricilla was so friendly & accommodating & treated us like long lost friends. Had so much detailed information about Tucson and the historical perspective on the area and its Mexican roots. Myself and my two friends from out of town had a "private" tour with her. She's a lovely person and enthusiastic tour guide. Don't miss her interesting &fun tour!!
