Tucson - Behind the Scenes Tour

Overview

"I experienced the tour with my three lifelong friends. We have all traveled the world extensively and taken many tours in many countries. We all enjoyed Priscilla’s tour so much, and agreed that it was one of the best tours we have been on! Priscilla is delightful, funny, kind and so knowledgeable about her beloved Tucson. She made the tour really entertaining, while still imparting the high points of Tucson and its history, present day information and the quirky things that make it special. Priscilla deserves at LEAST five stars for her great tour!"

We really enjoyed seeing unusual spots in Tucson. Priscilla has a great personality and is helpful in taking photos and answering questions. Our only recommendations would be that 1) she include some real facts about Tucson history, 2) learn some botanical names of plants that she identifies 3) learn & share Mexico American War dates and Arizona purchase dates and historically significant events that affected & changed the size and shape of Arizona. It would be nice to learn some facts while touring interesting & unusual places.

First of all, let me say that Priscilla is a perfect tour guide—quite pleasant and vivacious. She obviously loves what she is doing, and with time she will learn more historical information. The tour content is very interesting. However, I think the tour description and price need modification. The tour is completely dependent on the visitor driving a car to all of the tour stops (unless Priscilla has room in her car for everyone, which is impossible with a large group). This adds gas money on top of an already pricey tour. Furthermore, there is no description of the tour length of time. It is much longer than 2-2.5 hours because of all the driving. It actually is 3-3.5 hours. I also think that the tour stops could be arranged differently. Maybe it should start at the Mission (which is not to be missed) and work back toward the city, with food stops at the beginning of the tour. Everyone was told to be hungry when the tour starts at 2 pm in anticipation of lunch, but we didn’t eat until well after 3 pm (the fried bread) and other food was delayed until 4 pm. Just some thoughts to make this a really good tour.

Thanks for the kind words and the recommendations. I appreciate the feedback. Now that my tours have grown I am looking into buying a van to transport everyone. In the meantime I will add the transportation information to my profile. The duration of the tour is on the experience page along with the itinerary, it states that lasts 3.5 hours and shows the stops and the duration of each stop. Im sorry you werent aware of the duration time. Thanks again for the recommendations and thanks for scheduling a tour with me :)

Priscilla was great. She gave us a whole new perspective on Tucson. I would highly recommend this tour. My only suggestion would be that she go over the full itinerary at the start of the tour. The schedule was a little confusing at first.

Thanks for recommending my tour!! And I’m sorry you felt the schedule was confusing. The itinerary is listed here on the experience page for customers to see the places we will be visiting but now that you mentioned that I will print the itinerary for customers that didn’t get to see it online or that want to take the list back home as a souvenir :)
