A golden key to Tucson’s art and its many wonders - This tour is a MUST if you’re in or anywhere near Tucson. Our guide, Lorraine, was an easy-going and friendly expert who shared so much about the city’s landmarks, neighborhoods, and architecture that it was like getting several tours in one. The scale and beauty of these murals is ineffable, and driving by them in a car just doesn’t compare to standing beneath them and seeing them on a bike. There truly are too many to count and so many to see. As an out-of-towner from the east coast, I found the tour to be an incredible way to see the city and sense it’s many unique areas in a way only bicycling with a true local can provide. I feel like I now know Tucson in a way that would’ve been impossible without this tour, and Lorraine’s Mexican restaurant suggestion led me to a brilliant lunch after about 2.5 hours of cruising this beautiful city. Book today! You won’t be disappointed.

A great way to see a different side of Tucson - My daughter had given my wife and I a gift certificate for Tucson Bike Tours. We had some friends in from PA and decided to take the Murals Tour to show off one of the neat aspects of our home. The whole process of booking online was easy and emails and texts gave us all the info we needed. Our guide Jim was fantastic! He texted early the morning of the tour and had all the bikes and gear ready when we pulled into the lot. Sign a quick release and make a short test ride and off we went. Jim led us to many of the best murals in the downtown and nearby neighborhoods, even many we'd never seen in the years we've lived here. He kept us all safe and shared his knowledge and enthusiasm for the city and the art. Absolutely top-notch. My wife and I may need to try out the others tours!

Fun girlfriends group activity! - This was a super fun activity to do with friends while visiting Tucson! Jim did a good job of setting us up with bikes and helmets that fit and he made the ride pretty low stress through our tour of the city and some of its beautiful murals. I was concerned about navigating city traffic but our guide Jim kept us all together and safe. I was impressed with all of the murals that we got to see and the bits of history that were added by Jim along the way. I also appreciated that we were given time to take pictures along the way. I never would have seen half of what Jim showed us if I did it on my own and would not have gotten the great stories of those murals on my own. On my next trip to Tucson I would love to take one of the other bicycle tours that they offer!
