Oasis Tour Of Tucson

Our guide Mel was very knowledgable about the area. His driving was safe and courteous. Highly recommend!.

They were a no-show. Complete scam. Never messaged me when I bought the ticket where at Park Place Mall to meet and what time I should be there. The tour company number does not work. Do not use them. I got a full refund but wasted my day

I had the best driver and an amazing trip from start to finish. The ride was comfortable, safe, and enjoyable, and the driver was professional, friendly, and courteous throughout the journey. They arrived on time, drove carefully, and made sure I was comfortable the entire trip. Their positive attitude and excellent customer service truly made the experience memorable. I appreciated how smooth and stress-free everything was, and I felt valued as a passenger. I would gladly recommend this driver to anyone looking for reliable, outstanding service and would be happy to ride with them again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

I was the sole participant in the van tour to the top of Mt Lemmon Did not bother to listen to the audio guide as my personal guide, Mel, was so entertaining and informative. His knowledge of local history and Tucson “insider” information was the best introduction I could have had to a city that was new to me. I would do it all again if I could be assured that Mel would be my driver/guide.

Great trip up Mt Lemmon. Worth booking rather than driving so you can take in the views. This trip is all about understanding the landscape. Mel the driver took his time and shared his knowkedge

Call the guide ahead of time to make sure he's been notified of your schedule by Viator. The guide was great.

We had a group of four and had a great experience with our driver/guide, Larry. He gave us a lot of great information about the area and the ride up the mountain. Larry was very accommodating, we were able to stop when we wanted and he gave us suggestions of places that we might want to see. Overall a very enjoyable tour.

Mel , our guide and driver, picked us up on time in an immaculate minibus. He was a very good driver, very knowledgeable guide and a very friendly character l nothing was too much trouble for him. Mount Lemmon was stunning and I highly recommend this tour.

Having a driver for this trip up Mt. Lemmon allowed us to truly enjoy the views along the way and was worth the expense. Mark played an audio description along the route but also added additional information.

This tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Tim was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fun insights that brought each location to life. I loved his creative rock formation names! He went out of his way to make the day memorable! The itinerary was well paced, allowing plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. Transportation was comfortable and well organized, making the day stress free.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Oasis Tour of Tucson, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, this tour delivered on views, service, and memories. First off, the scenery was breathtaking. Driving up Mount Lemmon felt like a journey through multiple climates — the desert gave way to pine forest, and every turn offered another stunning vista. I was able to capture some truly amazing photos, and the views from the higher elevation were nothing short of spectacular. The air in Arizona is fresh I almost forgot about all the car pollution. But what really made the day special was the guide, Timothy. He is the consummate professional — friendly, punctual, and deeply knowledgeable about the region. You can tell he loves what he does. Because I was traveling solo, he graciously made schedule accommodations just for me and even provided transportation to make things easier. He went above and beyond to ensure the day flowed smoothly and all my questions were answered. If you’re thinking of booking, don’t hesitate — just reach out to Timothy ahead of time to set up any special arrangements (pickup, timing, etc.). Whether you’re a solo traveler or part of a group, this tour is well worth it. Five stars all around!

Excellent, entertaining trip with Timothy. Highly recommend his tour. He was prompt, informative and professional .

This is not just a convenient way to get up the mountain. Timothy as driver and guide loves the mountain and is eager to share that love with travelers. He knows a lot and is able to sharpen the eyes of others to truly see the mysterious beauty of this “oasis.”

The views on the way and top of Mount Lemmon were breathtaking ! Our tour guide Timothy went above and beyond what is expected of a tour guide and made sure we had the best experience and I recommend it to anyone!Tucson Mountain shuttle and Timothy are the best!

We learned a lot about the flora and fauna of Mt. Lemmon and its history We had no idea of the biodiversity of the area. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Tim was friendly, full of energy, unique facts that made the tour interesting.. he communicated well pre-tour and was personable. The narrated audio up the mountain was very informative. The stops along the way were great ways to see the different geography. He supplied binoculars and pointed out several highlights. The stop at Mt Lemmon was nice and gave an opportunity to buy souvenirs. A great tour!

Amazing views. My mother and I both learned a lot even with her growing up in Tucson. We have some amazing pictures and it’s a great way to get out of the heat, we stopped in Summerhaven and it was 30 degrees cooler than in Tucson.

A wonderful tour that I highly recommend if you plan on visiting Tucson for a few days. We drove up to Mount Lemmon, learned about the history, the biodiversity and the local culture of the place. We had a lot of fun. Definitely a tour to remember!

My husband, son and I took the Oasis Tour of Tucson which took us to the top of Mt. Lemmon. Our tour guide, Tim was great! He was very knowledgeable on the mountain, rock formations and Tucson. I feel like we learned a great deal on the tour and even got many suggestions on other adventures we can make while in Arizona! I highly recommend taking a tour with Tim if you are in Tucson!!!

Amazing tour up Mount Lemmon. Our guide Tim was fantastic, knowledgable and fun, Audio commentary was narrated by U of A experts, and we learned a lot about the different climate zones on the mountain. Highly recommend.

Timothy was the best! He is very knowledgeable, very helpful and very friendly. He went above and beyond the call of duty to take photographs, help us along steeper tracks, and give us general information about Tucson.

Tour guide was awesome! Very personable and full of great information. Absolutely recommend! Great way to experience all Mt Lemmon has to offer.

Tim was a great source of information and was fun to have as a tour guide. The views were amazing! We saw so much natural beauty and enjoyed the changing climates and landscape.

My boyfriend and I booked this Oasis Tour upon our arrival in Tucson. We tend to have active/adventurous vacations and normally I would not have booked such a tour, but it turned out to be AWESOME! Timothy is extremely knowledgeable about Mt. Lemmon and the Tucson area and we had a fantastic day with him. The ride was very scenic and we stopped for a number of great photo opportunities - Timothy knew all the best places. I highly recommend this tour and guide. As someone else mentioned - do not let the "audio tour" part turn you off - it is only part of the tour and actually quite interesting!

The detailed narration while going to the spot & the quiz riding back was really enjoyable. Touring guide was very friendly & took lot of pictures for us on the way.

Excellent tour and guide person Tim. Good knowledge and history of the mountains. A five star rating for sure!

This is the most happiest Tour I have ever been to from NY to FL. And las vegas tour by far this is the best coz Timothy our tour guide is soo knowledgeable on this Oasis Tour abd he's very caring ..Patience and all throughout the tour it was fun I just love him..I bought his book and I read it so Beautiful put together.i will recommend him thru my friends and family and anyone ..He's great 💜❤️🩵

Had a day free in Tucson and this was a great way to spend it! Tour guide was Tim, and he was great fun, full of info and clearly knew the area extremely well. The meeting point was by the main entrance to Park Place Mall (north side), just a little way to the East by the big bowling pin. From there we drove up into the mountains stopping a handful of times to take in the breathtaking views. Tim had binoculars for us to look through. A few light strolls to the lookout points, but nothing strenuous. The final stop is at a ski resort town on Mt Lemmon (typically there's snow there for a couple of months in winter), with opportunities to buy snacks and souvenirs. Worth checking the Mt Lemmon temperature forecast before you leave since it's much cooler at the summit than in Tucson. All in all, a great way to see 4 different biomes (desert, grassland, woodland and forest) in just a few hours. Thanks Tim!

Loved the saguara cactus forest and rock formations, and spectacular views. Timothy was an excellent guide.

Our tour guide was amazing. He went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. He knew all the right places to get the best pictures. Thanks so much!
