"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 Priscillas 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 had a great Valentine's Day tour. Priscilla is well organized and knows the area well. The tour was filled with little aha moments as she pointed out features in the neighborhood that I have walked by many times without noticing or explained some of the cultural traditions. Priscilla also figured out a way to communicate with all the vehicles as we drove the short distance to the next stop so we didn't miss a thing. We ended the tour at an excellent taco stand and ended up staying later than we thought as we visited with our new friends. The tour will continue for us since she gave us a handout of places and restaurants she recommends while we are in Tucson.

We enjoyed Priscilla's stories and humor. She is an excellent guide. The Mercado and historic neighborhoods are very interesting and give insight into the "vibe" of bicultural Tucson.

This was a fun and informative tour of portions of old Tucson. It included architecture, history, culture, gardens and great food stories and recommendations. I have visited Tucson many times over the last 10 years and I still learned a lot. Raquel was the tour guide, in place of Priscilla who had an emergency, and she did a wonderful job. You couldn't have asked for better. I highly recommend this tour!

We recently visited Tucson and wanted a little different tour of the "Town". "Behind the Scenes" was just the answer! Priscilla is just great, very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. She took us to spots that a regular city tour would never go and told us so much about Tucson history and about the native plants. We even had tacos at an authentic taco stand that were delicious! She also gave us a list of other spots to visit and places to eat. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon and we would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting Tucson, even if you've been there before!

Pricella's enthusiasm and knowledge. She gave us a unique peak into the neighborhoods and businesses of Old Town Tucson. We enjoyed her stories as well as sampling some of her favorite foods. Great tour!

I went along on this trip with some friends not expecting much as I've spent a lot of time in Tucson. But I learned a lot and had a blast! It was a very entertaining morning due to the knowledge and the personality of our guide Prescella. I saw parts of Tucson I'd never seen, learned some history, and increased my cactus knowledge with some fascinating tidbits. We tasted the best tacos and I am anxious to try some of Priscella's other restaurant recommendations. I felt like I spent the morning with a good friend and I could have spent the whole day with her! Great tour. Highly recommended.

The walking tours. Having a drink in the same hotel John Dillinger frequented. Everything was great. Our guide was wonderful. Highly recommend.
