I originally wanted to do the day tour, but due to a conflict with another reservation I had, I signed up for the night tour on a Wednesday night. Night tours are typically more heavily attended on the weekends, so I got the benefit of a private tour of Tucson. The tour is well-organized with nice stops along the way. Jimmy does a great job of sharing interesting facts throughout the tour without overloading you, all while keeping you safe maneuvering through Tucson traffic...in the dark. The night tour was a lot of fun (pinball games and Sonoran hotdogs were included), but now I really want to do the day tour just to see everything I couldn't clearly see once it got really dark. If you like to be active and outdoors, I highly recommend this tour. You are able to cover so much more ground on bike than you can walking the self-guided Turquoise Line tour.

Thanks for the review. Bikes really are the best way to see a new place. They cover a lot more ground than walking, plus riding is a bit more fun too. And trying to see a new place by car? Forget about it. You are sealed off, have to find parking, and really don't get a feel for anything.

This was a wonderful tour of an old part of Tucson that was really fun. We did the 9:00am tour on a Sunday morning and it was great. We are not big bikers and this was a very easy ride with frequent stops. The history of the city was very interesting and the bike routes taken were safe and well thought out. Jimmy was a tremendous tour guide. Don't miss this if you are in Tucson

Glad to hear that you found the tour safe and enjoyable despite not being "big bikers."

I've been living in Tucson and thought I knew the city until Jimmy took my sister and I on a fascinating tour of all the interesting barrios and neighbourhoods of Tucson that we would never have found on our own. The bikes were comfortable upright bikes and easy to ride. much of the tour was through back small streets, parks and alleys and the best part of all was the fascinating history Jimmy shared with us throughout the tour.

Wow! Thanks for the review! I'm glad that I showed you some interesting new places. Tucson is cool that way . . . interesting stuff can be found where you'd never expect it.
