  • A not to be missed experience

    One of, if not, the best tours I have ever taken!!! Scott's knowledge of history and storytelling abilities are only matched by his exuberant personality. He is personable, likeable, clearly loves what he is doing and has taken touring to a new level. The 2+ hour tour flew by with his uncovered hidden stories and interesting tidbits of information. We hated to see the tour end but are left with an indelible impression of Tucson. Thank you Scott for the most educational and entertaining time!

  • Excellent tour experience in downtown historical Tucson

    Scott was an excellent guide, full of good stories and historical & cultural facts. He hit all of the highlights in the Presidio area and paced the walk well. We appreciated his good sense of humor as he wove the intertwining stories together. Be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat, as the tour is often in full sun.

    The tour led by Scott was great! He's incredibly knowledgeable and more importantly passionate about the subject. Even the few parts of the tour I knew beforehand, he made interesting. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Tucson - you'll leave knowing more than the locals!
