We went to 4 different wineries and had a great lunch. The wineries were hops and vine, rune, Elgin winery/distillery, and dark sky vineyard. He let us choose where we wanted to go based on preference, time and previous experiences. We had lunch at the cafe, which had really great burgers and sandwiches. He even gave us the choice of lunch spots, bbq or sandwiches, both sounded amazing but we chose sandwiches. I would recommend this tour and look forward to booking this again and many of the other tours he offers.

Dec, 2025. When we first visit a new city, we often visit the official Visitor Center to pick up…read moremaps and to get insiders' recommendations about the best things about their city. In this case, we visited the Southern Arizona Heritage and Visitor Center in Tucson, which is open daily (except holidays) from 10-5 and offers free admission. The two staff members at the Center were very helpful. When we asked about the free tours that are offered daily at 11 am and 2 pm (that were mentioned on their website), we learned that they're usually only for groups and that they only cover the indoor exhibits. (See next paragraph). A volunteer offered to accompany us as we reviewed the exhibits, but we declined. The Center was a great starting place to discover all that southern Arizona, the Sonoran Desert, and the Sky Islands have to offer. The Center is modern, clean, and successfully highlights the attractions of the area. There are seven large, multi-paneled storytelling portals that showcase innovation, history, arts and culture, food, recreation, water, and nature, as well as a huge topographic map, a theater with rotating content, and an attractive gift shop. After we reviewed the exhibits and picked up some souvenirs in the gift shop, we ventured outside into the courtyard -- finding that the free "Music in the Courtyard" musicians were just starting. Different musicians play on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 am - 1 pm. (See website for list of scheduled performers). We were fortunate to be entertained by Liz and Pete's Sparrows, natives of Tucson. The duo, Liz Cerepanya and Peter Dalton Ronstadt, refer to themselves as songsters of the Postmodern American West. With two voices, a guitar, and a Pennsylvania stompbox, they played Americana, soulful desert, and roots music. The courtyard is a beautiful setting but, in our opinion, wasn't conducive for interactions between the musicians and the audience. They were so tucked into a corner that we could hardly see them. What we heard though was excellent. We next took in the beauty of the exterior of the Pima County Historic Courthouse, which was built in 1929 and was in-service for 86 years. It obtained its "historic" designation from the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It has been dubbed "the most outstanding Spanish Colonial Revival building in Arizona with its elegant blue-tiled dome recorded as its most prominent feature." We reflected and remembered at the January 8th Embrace Memorial. Nineteen people had been shot by a lone gunman as they gathered at a grocery store in NW Tucson in 2011, to speak Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords at an event designed for community engagement. Six persons were killed, and thirteen wounded. The Memorial is a tribute of remembrance and a tribute of hope. The film that shows in the VC theater also honors and remembers these victims. Our next activities, recommended by the VC, but taking us away from the VC were to: (1) walk "the Turquoise Trail" (Presidio Trail), which is a 2.5 mile self-guided walking loop through historic downtown Tucson, marked by a turquoise line painted, and sometimes peeling, line painted on the sidewalk, connecting over 20 historic sites like the Presidio Museum (starting/ending point), Hotel Congress, and the Pima County Courthouse. Printed maps are available at the VC and at museums for $2; there's also an app for $5. (2) to take the free Sun Link streetcar on its 3.9 mile route through five of Tucson's neighborhoods. Underground parking is easy at the El Presidio Parking Garage, at a minimum rate of $2 for 0-2 hours, increasing by $1 per hour up to a maximum of $8 (for 7+hours). Validated parking is available with a $20 purchase at the Visitor Center or with tickets from the Gem and Mine Museum. There are clean restrooms available.

Starting at 196 Court St., one can follow the Turquoise trail for a 2 1/2 mile loop through downtown Tucson that features some of the original historical landmarks of the city as well as historical monuments. It is clearly marked by a painted turquoise stripe that runs along the sidewalk. It begins at the Presidio Museum, located at the northeast corner of the original Presidio San Agustin del Tucson which dates back to 1775. Also, there are self-guided walking brochures available at the Presidio Museum - 196 N. Court Ave.; Tucson Visitors Center - 115 N. Church Ave; Hotel Congress - 311 Congress St. or the Marriott Hotel - 151 E. Broadway Blvd. Even though I grew up in the city, I would walk it again and again as I feel I could never learn enough about the history and roots of this city.

We were early as two people in our party were handicaped and I wanted to make sure we could get good seats together. When it was time to load on the Crawler we all got into our seats, happy. Then the uncaring driver says we all have to get off "because that Crawler had be "charged". On top of all of us having to get off, now we were not in a position to get decent seats. Then the driver rolls up a tiny stretched golf cart, so small that only three people could fit in a row of seats so I had to move. The uncaring driver ignored my wife and my brother struggling to get in the stretched golf cart and only got a step to help them get in after I spoke up. Everyone was so tight that a couple people had to ride backwards on the back of the cart. The driver hardly told us how the earbuds worked and I had to share one of my earbuds with my wife whose connection did not function. The scenery was top notch but the Crawler was terrible! On the way back on the return trip we encountered a couple of elderly tourists waiting at a designated pickup spot, but there wasn't a single available seat. The couple, of course, were very embarrassed. The uncaring driver told them he would radio for another Crawler and guess what, a double Crawler drove by us down the way to pick them up. It was the Crawler that had to be "charged" that we were kicked off of. All in all, we were very disappointed! Listen up management, get your act together!

Amazing Tram Ride at Sabino Canyon!…read more I had the pleasure of experiencing a fantastic tram ride at Sabino Canyon, and I can't recommend it enough! For just $15.00, you get an incredible adventure surrounded by the stunning beauty of Arizona's landscape. The ride was filled with gorgeous views of towering cacti, impressive boulders, and lush trees, all complemented by the soothing sounds of running water from the creek. Each twist and turn in the canyon revealed breathtaking scenery that felt like a slice of paradise. The guide was professional and friendly, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a must-do activity. Grab your friends, hop on the ride, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Sabino Canyon. I can't wait to return!
