Had a great ride with... - Had a great ride with Lorraine! She showed us interesting murals and sights, took pics whenever we needed, and knew a lot of Tucson history. The ride itself was easy and fairly flat and the single-gear, hand brake bikes were totally fine for the terrain. Would definitely recommend!

This is an enjoyable way... - This is an enjoyable way to see & learn about the history and culture of this city. Lorraine was an excellent tour guide and made sure we were safely traveling the entire time. At 78 and 70 yrs old my husband and I were used to our e bikes, but we easily enjoyed the over 2 hr experience on the single speed classic bikes!

Tucson Bike Tour Review April 2026 - This was a great tour and provided a lot of insight to the neighborhoods all around Tucson. Highly recommend as it was great to connect with Lorraine as a local guide who also lives in Tucson and she also gives excellent recommendations on where to go eat!

History Bike Tour of Tucson - Thank you for a wonderful experience. Lorraine greeted us in the parking lot to start our bike tour and she was very organized. We rode for two hours throughout historic Tucson with stops at various sites. She allowed time for questions and pictures. Lorraine also gave us time to enter the cathedral for a quick visit. Lorraine was very informative with a historical perspective. I would book again.
