This tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Tim was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fun insights that brought each location to life. I loved his creative rock formation names! He went out of his way to make the day memorable! The itinerary was well paced, allowing plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. Transportation was comfortable and well organized, making the day stress free.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Oasis Tour of Tucson, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, this tour delivered on views, service, and memories. First off, the scenery was breathtaking. Driving up Mount Lemmon felt like a journey through multiple climates — the desert gave way to pine forest, and every turn offered another stunning vista. I was able to capture some truly amazing photos, and the views from the higher elevation were nothing short of spectacular. The air in Arizona is fresh I almost forgot about all the car pollution. But what really made the day special was the guide, Timothy. He is the consummate professional — friendly, punctual, and deeply knowledgeable about the region. You can tell he loves what he does. Because I was traveling solo, he graciously made schedule accommodations just for me and even provided transportation to make things easier. He went above and beyond to ensure the day flowed smoothly and all my questions were answered. If you’re thinking of booking, don’t hesitate — just reach out to Timothy ahead of time to set up any special arrangements (pickup, timing, etc.). Whether you’re a solo traveler or part of a group, this tour is well worth it. Five stars all around!

This is not just a convenient way to get up the mountain. Timothy as driver and guide loves the mountain and is eager to share that love with travelers. He knows a lot and is able to sharpen the eyes of others to truly see the mysterious beauty of this “oasis.”

Tim was friendly, full of energy, unique facts that made the tour interesting.. he communicated well pre-tour and was personable. The narrated audio up the mountain was very informative. The stops along the way were great ways to see the different geography. He supplied binoculars and pointed out several highlights. The stop at Mt Lemmon was nice and gave an opportunity to buy souvenirs. A great tour!

Amazing views. My mother and I both learned a lot even with her growing up in Tucson. We have some amazing pictures and it’s a great way to get out of the heat, we stopped in Summerhaven and it was 30 degrees cooler than in Tucson.

A wonderful tour that I highly recommend if you plan on visiting Tucson for a few days. We drove up to Mount Lemmon, learned about the history, the biodiversity and the local culture of the place. We had a lot of fun. Definitely a tour to remember!

My husband, son and I took the Oasis Tour of Tucson which took us to the top of Mt. Lemmon. Our tour guide, Tim was great! He was very knowledgeable on the mountain, rock formations and Tucson. I feel like we learned a great deal on the tour and even got many suggestions on other adventures we can make while in Arizona! I highly recommend taking a tour with Tim if you are in Tucson!!!
