Top 5 Bus Tours in Tucson, Arizona (AZ)

July 15, 2021 Agatha Simes

Although Tucson's fantastic weather, national parks and forests and desert provide the perfect environment for tons of outdoor recreational activities, this city of half a million people also has its share of history and culture. With a history that goes back much further than many of its southwestern neighbors, Tucson boasts turn-of-the-century architecture, historic neighborhoods, museums and the Mission San Xavier del Bac, a still-functioning 18th-century mission considered one of the most beautiful in the U.S. Mexican and Native American influences are pervasive, and the city has a distinctly Western flavor. There's also a college-town atmosphere, thanks to the University of Arizona, which has its own share of museums and a science center. Whether golfing at a world-class golf resort, horseback riding, hiking in the wilderness, discovering desert flora and fauna at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum or exploring pre-Columbian and other art at the Tucson Art Museum, you'll have a mind-boggling array of things to do.

Travel back in time to one of the most famous Old West towns with a day on the streets of Tombstone. The home of the famous OK Corral lets you experience the lives of outlaws, businessmen, miners, and cattlemen who flocked to the area for a chance to strike it rich on the frontier. A ride straight from your hotel takes you out of the city for your visit to the historic town. While you're in Tombstone, pay a visit to the original gathering spots for outlaws and gunmen, like Big Nose Kate's Saloon and the Bird Cage Theatre, which earned a reputation as the wickedest nightspot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast. True to the reputation of the Wild West, gunfights and stand-offs were a regular occurrence, and many of their victims are buried at the infamous Boot Hill Cemetery—named for the men who died and were buried, with their boots still on. On your way back, visit the White Dove of the Desert; one of the Southwest's best-preserved missions at San Xavier del Bac.

Inclusions: Pickup and Dropoff , Professional, local guide, Bottled water, Boothill admission

"My advice is to start your trip with Priscilla to get the ‘lay of the land’ and go back to the areas you liked during your tour. That way you will know which restaurants and neighborhoods to go to and the rest of your trip will be better planned.." -Jeff NOTE: this is an outdoors tour. It is Covid safe, lots of social distancing and walking space My tour is something you will not find online when you Google things/activities to do in Tucson. It is a list of things that make Tucson special, interesting and sometimes weird. There’s nothing like a local’s insight and that’s what my tour is all about!! We will go to historic sights and neighborhoods, go try the best tacos and Sonoran hot dogs in town; all while leaning about Tucson history and interesting architecture! *food not included in tour price, bring cash or credit *if theres a conflict with scheduling please contact me for availability

Inclusions: A printed list of recommended places and restaurants to visit for the rest of your trip.

Exclusions: Food not included. Bring cash or credit card

I booked my tour while visiting my Father in AZ. I had such a great day with my tour Guide Todd. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the history. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable day. I have a huge interest in American Indian history and wanted to see the Indian dwellings that I have read about. They were everything and more than I expected. I so enjoyed walking through these amazing rock dewlings that these amazing people lived in over 900+ years ago, and are still here. The views were awe-inspiring and humbling. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
