Relaxing and Educational - This was a really fun way to see what Tucson is really all about. Lorraine gave such a wonderful and thorough tour of the history of Tucson. She really knows her stuff . The cruiser bikes were very light and very easy to ride. We loved going to the different districts of Tucson and learning the history of Each. I definitely recommend the morning tour because it’s quite hot in the afternoon.

Biking through Tucson! - We could not have asked for a better guide or biking experience! Lorraine was so friendly and shared lots of interesting details and facts about the places we were seeing. The pace was not strenuous and the bikes were comfortable. We enjoyed all of the stops and the 2.5 hours went by quickly. Lorraine took us on a route that was not busy with traffic. We felt very safe, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the beautiful city of Tucson.
