Awesome ride through many neighborhoods in downtown Tucson. Jimmy was an excellent guide and offered great history, interesting info, and current events. The best way to really see the heart of Tucson!

Cool! I'm glad you picked up on the current events I sometimes work in to keep the tour fresh . . . for me as much as you!

We rode in the morning on the Martin Luther King Holiday. So (a) there was almost no traffic or people except in special spots, and (b) my wife and I were the sole customers, so it was like a private tour. We had a great time. Tucson is extremely bike-friendly (flat, lots of special lanes and paths), and on a tour of just about 90 minutes we saw several different neighborhoods and had two stops. One to go into the lobby of the historic downtown hotel (host to, among others, John Dillinger) and another to use the bathroom and eat a pastry (paid for by our guide) at a fun food court. We might have stepped inside the cathedral, but it was holding a big service for the holiday. We saw old residential, new residential, historic fort and courthouse, new convention and arts center, the river, a tiny portion of the 55-mile bike loop, and several other sites. Our guide was well-informed and had a notebook of historic and other photos that he showed in conjunction with the sites we viewed. The bikes were one-speeds with pedal brakes and highly adjustable, so the ride was easy and comfortable, with lots of short stops for sites and the two longer stops for breaks. The guide also supplied cold water in a fit-on-the-bike bottle and the bikes had small pouches on the front handlebars for cellphones, wallets, purses, etc. The tour even had gloves for the (for Tucson) "colder" weather (it was about 50F in January). All in all, a great way for us to be introduced to central Tucson.

A perfect way to see downtown and the older parts of Tucson. Driving in to meet the tour we were pretty underwhelmed. Jimmy knows all the good stuff and gives an excellent tour so you catch all the good stuff downtown. It was a great way to spend most of a day in Tucson and we really would have missed out on some great stuff if we had just driven through. After the tour be sure to get some tips on places to eat. We really enjoyed a mid-afternoon meal at Tucson's old Mexican eatery, which we also rode by on the tour earlier in the day.
