This is kind of a cool tour great for adults I don't think it's so good for kids because the downtown is heavily traffic with cars so you have to be very careful.... knowledgeable guide.... cool thing to think about is to go and rent a bike on the Beautiful car free to probably bike at 137 mph there's good rental bike places on the loop do that.

Lorraine was absolutely wonderful! The murals were beautiful and she gave us so much cool info about the city.
What a perfect way to see Tucson! I had some friends visiting from San Francisco and it was their first time in Tucson. Of all the things we did, they said this was the highlight of their trip! The price was reasonable, the bikes were adorable and fun to ride, and the route was fantastic. I've lived in Tucson for 10 years and I still learned a lot and discovered new places I want to go back to. I think our arts community (and especially our murals) are a treasure; I'm grateful to get to show off my town in this unique way. Lorraine (our guide) was super informative and very kind. I'd absolutely do it again (and again!)
We decided to combine our love of biking with our love of local historic visits. Our tour of downtown Tucson was leisurely and informative. It was worth while touring the city on bikes rather than doing a walking tour. Our tour guide took us out on single speed bikes, making several stops in the 8-mile loop. We saw many murals that were painted over the past 30 years and several historic houses constructed over the past 150 years. We also took in buildings that were built in the late 1800's to early 1900's. Many have been updated or restored for use in this millennia. Tucson is a very bike friendly city. Even though there are designated bike lanes on busy streets, our tour guide planned a route that traveled neighborhoods, away from traffic. She also brought us down city bike trails that passed popular park areas and monuments. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, spending ample time sharing Tucson's history with the two of us. She also understands building architecture and how the construction has changed over the past 150 years. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves.
My sister and I did this bike tour and loved every minute. Lorraine was friendly, helpful, and so knowledgeable. We felt very safe and Lorraine always let us know where we were going. I haven’t been on a bike for several years, but felt comfortable. The terrain is flat so the one-speed bikes worked fine. I highly recommend this fun 2.25 hour tour of Tucson’s fabulous murals.
Lorraine was a wealth of information about the murals in Tucson. Safety was her #1 priority as we rode through town. It was a an easy going bike ride through town with multiple stops along the way. I highly recommend a tour with Lorraine.
The bikes were in great shape. The murals on the tour were colorful and represented a variety of topics. The guide was knowledgeable and provided interesting information.
Lorraine is an excellent guide and we loved learning more about Tucson’s history through the beautiful murals. We felt safe on the roads and enjoyed every pedal stroke! She kept us at a good pace and anyone could do this tour. Warm, friendly and knowledgeable!
The mural tour was very interesting and informative. Lorraine was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot not only about the murals but the history of Tucson as well.
This was such a terrific experience. The selected stops covered a variety of cultural, surreal, and vibrant masterpieces. In addition to all the knowledge Lorraine shared about each work of art, she gave so much historic context and outstanding recommendations about the city of Tucson itself. You get enjoy such a pleasant outdoor activity and route to boot!
This was a nice trip! We enjoyed biking through town. It gave us an opportunity to see what we may not have discovered during our stay here! At each stop, Lorraine let us know what we were going to do next. We didn’t feel rushed and had time to take all of pictures we wanted!
We had a great time on Lorraine's tour. She provided many interesting details of not only the murals and artists but also of the history of specific buildings and neighborhoods. We have spent a fair amount of time in Tucson, so I was pleasantly surprised at how many murals Lorraine showed us, that we had not seen before. I highly recommend this tour.
Great tour! Beautiful murals! In addition to the murals, our guide gave us some nice cultural and historical information.
this is a great way to see a variety of neighborhoods in such an easy way. almost no hills of any sort. as a senior, that was a real plus. the murals were varied. so many different designs and artists and colors. we found out information on the artist, style, and a bit more information. learned a bit about tucson also. the guide went above and beyond for me as i was having trouble with my phone. not only did she set up my uber ride, she also waited with me until it arrived. hugs to her for helping me out!
I'm a local, and a group of friends got together to do this and see more of our city. Was so much fun and got to see so many murals I hadn't before even though I live here. Lorraine was an excellent guide!
Well-organized, informative and felt safe. Really enjoyed seeing so many murals.... some a bit hidden... and hear some stories behind them.
Wonderful tour. Very informative. Bikes were very comfortable and the ride was very manageable. Great explanations of the murals
We thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour with Lorraine. Learning about the beautiful murals, the neighborhoods surrounding downtown, and some of the history of Tucson made the time fly by. Lorraine has laid out an interesting route that makes for easy pedaling. She is very helpful with her instructions and makes navigating the area simple. This is a nice way to explore the area. We’re definitely going to try the taco tour next time since everywhere we rode we smelled delicious food cooking.
Such a lovely way to learn a little history about Tucson via their beautiful murals! Lorraine was a great tour guide…very communicative & friendly.
We loved the mural bike tour with Lorraine. It was fun and informative. We also learned a little history and got a some exercise (nothing too strenuous). Highly recommend and if we return to Tucson would to do another tour with Lorraine.
Wow! There is so much to see in downtown Tucson. Lorraine is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. She took us to many murals, pointed out other noteworthy places, and recommended restaurants along the way. This was a fun way to get acquainted with a new city.
Lorriane was an outstanding tour guide. She safely led us through the streets of Tucson, stopping at 30 murals and sharing interesting information about the art, the neighborhoods and the artists. It was a fun way to experience the city.
We thoroughly enjoyed the mural bike tour. Lorraine was an excellent leader, constantly hand motioning to cover turns, slow down & potholes/obstacles on our path. Her knowledge about the murals was over the top & she did not overdo her explanations. She was also very receptive to our questions. And, oh yeah, the murals were awesome. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed the tour--so many great murals to see! Lorraine was a super guide, and was able to tailor the tour to our group, since our family of 4 were the only folks on that excursion. We appreciated learning about the murals, the artists, and other interesting information about downtown Tucson. Just a few things kept it from being perfect--the meeting location is a little hard to find. There are a lot of starts and stops; if you like to just ride for a while, this is challenging. And as finances allow, the bike seats could be upgraded a bit (several of us found them uncomfortable). But on the whole, we really enjoyed the afternoon. Would recommend!
This mural ride is a great way to see the downtown and immerse yourself in imaginative Arizona street Art. Love it. Our host was very informative as well!
What an amazing time! Ride tailored to my skill level. Great understanding of the area and the artists who did the murals.
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.
Tour is a lot of fun! Whole family enjoyed it! Lorraine will show you many of the most notable murals in the city.
It was great fun riding through the town to see the many murals up close. Lorraine was fun and cared for us and the bikes well!
Recommend. Great ride on a comfy bike, stopping and enjoying the art of murals in downtown Tucson. I would do this ride again and I will probably do the taco ride!
There seem to be unlimited murals in Tucson. Your guide will be knowledgeable about all. It's a fun way to spend a couple hours!
Great tour. Covered a lot of different are in Tucson and learned a lot about art and culture! Thank you Jim!
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!
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!
Our guide was competent, knowledgeable and friendly. He knows Tucson so well and enjoys showing off his adopted hometown. This is the bike tour you want!
Really enjoyed our tour with Jimmy. Covered a large area, and he managed to squeeze in a lot of murals, a lot more than we were expecting. Definitely recommend.
I would have liked more narration. I’m sure the murals have interesting stories as do the artists. Jim could do some research and share what he knows with some enthusiasm!
Fantastic, the perfect way to explore Tucson and our bike guide was the best Knowledgeable, insightful, funny and full of good stuff, we came away with a greater understanding of this city and what a bonus is the street art
I booked both the Historic and Murals tours. Both were worth the price, had a great time. Guide (Jim) is knowledgeable and patient. Turns out that Tucson is best seen by bike! I felt I really got to know the town better than all the driving around I had already done. The murals are gorgeous and I highly recommend if you enjoy that sort of thing.
I did this tour with Rob at the end of my trip to the area. We saw a lot in the time we had but at a relaxed pace. Rob was very entertaining and knowledgeable despite him not being a native ! Interesting and with the right amount of information. Highly recommended.
Great fun and unique experience. Wonderful way to see the City and learn all about the fantastic street art. Also, appreciated the opportunity to take our time and shoot pictures. Highly recommend!!!!!
Highly recommend the mural tour! Rob was an excellent tour guide and it was an amazing way to see the city and see some incredible art at the same time. Rob communicated before the tour and gave us all the information we needed about weather, parking etc.
The Tucson Mural Bike tour is great! Rob is super nice and has substantial knowledgeable about the mural and artists. I received an email the day before our tour including all the details about location, parking, and the weather, which is very helpful for us. It was a hot day, but the ride is very smooth, safe, and fun!! I highly recommended this tour and will try other bike tour next time to visit Tucson.
It was a good tour. Bikes, helmets and water provided. Rob Wasson knowledge, entertained questions and gave good suggestions. It was a HOT day—- ride was pretty flat. The heat was the challenge. We took Robs suggestion—had dinner and a beer at Barrio Brewery . Even tried that Saguaro dog!!! Thanks!!!
The murals of Tucson are a MUST see and the Tucson Mural Bike Tour is the best way to see them. I had a great time on the tour, learned so much about the mural culture and artists of Tucson and saw some of the city that I've never been to before. Rob is a great guide, answered all our questions, was safe on the road and alot of Fun!!! Highly recommend.
We saw lots of murals and Rob is super nice and really knowledgeable about the artists and background of each mural. We had a great time on the tour!
We had so much fun on this bike tour of the Tucson murals. These murals are amazing and peddling around to see them added to the overall enjoyment of the tour. This was our second bike tour with Tucson Bike Tours. We highly recommend them for anyone wanting to get the full flavor of the downtown Tucson area. We had previously done the historic bike tour which was fun and informative. We give Rob a big Texas thank you for making our afternoon so memorable.
This is a must for everyone. Great time. I Will be going back for same and other bike tours provided. What a fun way to spend a day. Put this on your list of things to do.
We visited Tucson last week and did this tour. We are so glad that we did! Jimmy is a great guide with lots of interesting and fun information. It was such a fun way to see and learn about Tucson. The area near the shop is also fun to explore afterwards! Next time we visit, it will be the Taco Tour!
Had a fantastic couple of hours cycling round this beautiful old city learning about the murals. Well worth the money and Jimmy was an excellent host and guide.
