History
Established in 2015.
Phoenix Rising Tour Company aims to provide the most comprehensive, entertaining, and engaging tour experience possible. Participants will be presented with a historically accurate overview of downtown's origin, knowledge of our iconic and precious landmarks, and a taste of the places and people that make Downtown Phoenix unique. Our guides and employees are Arizona natives, residents, and Phoenicians with a passion for sharing Downtown Phoenix's history, culture, and community.
The Inspiration for our Tour:
"Downtown Phoenix" by J. Seth Anderson, Jim McPherson and Suad Mahmuljin, serves as the inspiration for the Downtown Phoenix Tour. The book is filled with images of special places and stories that perfectly capture the incredible evolution of the urban heart of this desert valley. We hope to bring this book to life by showing passengers the many wonderful gems pocketed throughout Downtown Phoenix that speak not only to where our city has been, but also where it is going.
