What a fantastic tour! Priscilla is so knowledgeable and so much fun. She truly gives a "behind the scenes" experience that makes learning about Tucson a blast. We felt like we were being guided by a best friend with a PhD in Tucson. Thank you Priscilla for the amazing tour of Tucson and we look forward to doing it again with visiting friends and family!!!

Priscilla is a great tour guide and teacher! She loves the area and enjoys sharing about it with others. Love her enthusiasm and sense of humor! Her food stops were delicious and well planned. We will be telling our friends and family to book the tour.

Priscilla was upbeat and showed us parts of Tucson you wouldn’t stumble on your own. We enjoyed the food , history , and local color in diverse neighborhoods. She’s a teacher by profession and our group enjoyed her energy and chosen stories.

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Priscilla. Having a local person show her favourite places is a very special introduction to a place. We plan to go back to several of the places we visited, which we would probably not have seen without a local "host." Oh yes, and save room for the tacos at a wonderful local spot. This was a most enjoyable and entertaining afternoon.
