Lorraine was very informative, well planned and full of stories of Tucson. The murals are awesome. Loved it.

Our guide made sure we were safe at all times. It was fun and informative. Tucson is very well outfitted for a city bike tour. Lorraine was friendly and at the end of the your you felt like you were visiting a friend and they were showing you around.
The ride was an easy route with interesting stops and a very informative guide. Safety was her number one focus. It was a great way to get history and enjoy the city.
Excellent way to see Tuscon. Not a difficult bike ride, lots of stops and lots of information learnt. Thoroughly recommend. Water provided. Bring sunscreen.
Great way to see the history of Tucson
Lorraine was fantastic! The tour was safe, filled with historical stories and I highly recommend at the beginning of your visit to Tucson! A great way to get to know the city!
This bike ride is easy and offers a lot of sights. You’ll see a lot of places and beautiful murals as you ride around Tucson. You’ll learn about the city’s history and origin. I highly recommended this tour.
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 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!
À great way to explore the areas around downtown Tucson and learn about the history. Lorraine is very knowledgeable and makes the trip fun!
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!
We had a wonderful time. There are all types of terrains to bike on! Great historical sites and information was shared. Always felt safe and traffic was patient with the line of cyclists trying to see the site's.
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.
Excellent tour. Learned so much about the city. Lorraine was great! Very patient and kind!!! Gave great recommendations! Highly recommend as your first stop in Tucson to familiarize yourself if first time visiting!!!
Great way to experience Tucson and learn more about the city. Nice bikes, trails, and information provided by the guide.
Highly recommend and if you can do it first thing when you arrive in Tucson, it provides a great background for the individual neighborhoods and the history of Tucson. The trail is pretty flat and the biking access on the streets of Tucson is awesome.
This was a great way to see Tucson. Lorraine was an excellent guide who showed us historical sites, architecture, good places to eat and the occasional ghost story. The biking was fun and the bike lanes and the route made for a great experience.
This bike tour is an excellent way to see and learn about the neighborhoods in downtown Tucson, way better than walking/driving it on your own. Lorraine, our guide, was informed, interesting, and kept us on an appropriate pace (on a 90 degree morning!) The bikes were in good condition, the paths are level, traffic was not an issue, and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!
I biked a little in Tucson on our last visit and I'm not usually one for guided tours, but this was well worth it. We saw beautiful murals and architecture and heard plenty of history and local lore while completely avoiding traffic. Well worth the very reasonable price.
The historic tour was fun and informational. Lots of cool stuff to see.
Lorraine is very knowledgeable about the area and has chosen a great route to see the best of the what the city has to offer.
A great bike tour. Saw places and neighborhoods all around Tuson . Our guide was terrific and so informed about the history of the city. Don’t miss it.
An awesome guide and an awesome way to see the sights and hear some history of Tucson.
An awesome way to see Tucson and learn about its history! Lorraine was a terrific guide - knowledge, friendly, and entertaining. We highly recommend this tour!
This is a great bike tour! Lorraine did such a good job making us comfortable from start to finish. So many interesting stories, buildings, murals, structures and Lorraine knows her history! It was so fun doing this while riding a comfortable bike:)
Lorraine is a fantastic guide who shares her knowledge of Tucson. The bikes are in excellent condition and she includes thoughtful touches such as bottled water for your ride. Highly recommend taking her tour!
Pleasant and informative bike ride. Great way to see a different side of Tucson, recommended for those who want to learn about the cities murals and historical district
We loved it. Fun, fascinating and informative! Highly recommend. Do it at the beginning of your trip to find fun things to do and see.
Excellent, if you like learning about the history of a place you visit and having activity this is the tour for you!
This was a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours and get to know Tucson. I really enjoyed it. I learned about some interesting spots that I wound up going back to.
Had a great time pedaling around Tucson with Lorraine. She is super knowledgeable and planned a great route. The route is mostly flat and easily navigated.
Lorraine showed us many interesting places and shared lots of fun facts. Bike riding was the perfect pace. Very enjoyable experience!
We had a great time, perfect weather, and a knowledgeable tour guide! Lorraine also gave tips on where to have lunch. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
Lorraine was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable of the Downtown Tucson area. The single speed bikes worked great even climbing up slight elevations. We covered a lot of area within the time period allotted. Lorraine was excellent in signalling her intentions while we were biking, be it stopping, turning, etc. A must tour with an excellent guide.
Good pace. Lots of interesting info. Lorraine was very knowledgeable about the city and the sights. Friendly and considerate.
Great personal tour with Lorraine. Downtown Tucson was different than what I expected-I was thinking historic houses and neighborhoods, remnants of the Spanish/Mexican founding and governance, lots of adobe. There is some of that, but much of downtown neighborhoods were torn down for urban renewal public buildings, the convention center, and parking lots. But Lorraine was effective at giving a good sense of the music, theatre, and arts vibe of the downtown, and showing the older neighborhoods and buildings, and the history of water and its use.. I especially enjoyed the Barrio statue of mother and child pointing to the convention center where their house was, and the Pancho Villa statue donated by the Mexican government in the park commemorating 200 years of Tucson history. The city reminds me of Austin in the early 1980’s-hope it doesn’t turn out the same way.
The owner/tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic! She was a wealth of information about the architecture and history of the neighborhoods and told interesting stories. She stopped often and provided opportunities for photos. Highly recommend this tour!
Lorraine was super knowledgeable, safety conscious and friendly. We loved seeing and learning about many murals, shrines and historic buildings and experiencing it all on bikes. Highly recommend!!
What a super fun way to get to know Tucson. Lorraine made sure we rode safely through the streets. She stopped at every special place and let us take our time exploring the site. She was informative and made sure we know about the historic past as well as interesting current events. She was the most laid back tour guide! I would recommend this tour. The ride was two hours long, but not too strenuous. Really neat opportunity!!
Our guide took us on a very flat tour of downtown Tuscon. There were a few small, short inclines but nothing to be concerned about. Lots of stops so plenty of time to rest. It was a small group so noone was left behind and everyone could hear the history narrative. The bikes were easy to ride, small bags were provided for personal items, bottle of water was provided. Our group of retirees had a great time!
Fun afternoon bike riding, seeing things you wouldn't see on your own, just a great way to experience the city and learn the history, Lorraine is the owner and guide, she made sure we were safe and having a good time, perfect if you want something active but not too intense.
Very pleasant ride around downtown Tucson. We visited multiple sites and learned much about local history and neighborhoods. Lorraine was very knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend this ride as a way of becoming more familiar with many of the cultural offerings of Tucson.
Good overview of core Tucson area. I love exploring on a bicycle, can cover more territory than on foot. Lorraine was informative and knew the city history well.
This tour is great. I enjoyed every minute of it. The bike was easy and comfortable to ride. The owner does the tour and she is extremely knowledgeable about Tucson. I plan to to teh Mural tour next time Im visiting family in Tucson. Best thing to do in town!
This was the historic Tour. Lauraine owns and leads the Bike Tours. She is so knowledgeable and fun to listen to. She is very flexible and very ha[y to answer different questions. Highly recommend her. Very easy to look up Tucson Bike tour. com
Fabulous tour. Highly recommend. Lorraine was amazing host/guide. A great introduction to the city, recommend you do this at the start of your Tucson stay.
The Historic Bike Tour was the perfect way to get a basic knowledge of Tuscon and its varied older and newer history. I loved it! Being outside and riding the bike in a leisurely pace while learning about historic landmarks and the development of neighborhoods in Tuscon was very insightful and a lot of fun! We stopped frequently and our guide Lorraine explained about buildings and historic events. In the end I felt I had gain a basic feel of Tuscon. There was also time to take pictures which helped to memorize what we had seen and heard. Besides interesting buildings or neighborhoods there were also lots of murals everywhere, many of them painted for this year's 250th anniversary of Tuscon! All wonderful impressions!
Very informative and fun. Relaxing pace. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. I’d take another of their tours next time I visit.
Lorraine was our tour guide and was amazing. We had previously done the historic tour years ago. We did all new things this tour. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Tucson Bike Tours. We have done the mural tour and the taco tour also. We recommend all three.
Great ride. Lorraine, our guide was knowledgeable and made me feel safe on unfamiliar terrain. She thoughtfully lent us gloves on an unusually brisk morning ride. Highly recommend the experience.
