This guided bike tour covers Tucson's history and shares facts about notorious bank robbers and Spanish settlers. You ride through residential neighborhoods and busy university lanes at a relaxed pace, taking in the local architecture and back alleys along the way.
This is the option for people who would rather cover ground than stroll. On a bike you reach more of Tucson in a session than a walking tour manages, and the pace is set as relaxed, so it is aimed at casual riders rather than anyone chasing a workout. The route runs through residential neighborhoods and busy university lanes and dips into back alleys, mixing the history talk with local architecture along the way.
It suits travelers comfortable on a bike in a city with car traffic and some university-area bustle. If you want to linger at each site, prefer to be on foot, or are not up for cycling through active streets, a walking tour will fit better. This is a history-and-facts ride, touching on the area's notorious bank robbers and Spanish settlers, rather than a paranormal outing, and Tucson has its own separate ghost-focused walks at the city level if that is what you want instead.
