    Priscilla was just terrific! My friend Pat, who moved to Tucson last year, and I learned sooo much about her new home town! Priscilla covered it all -- the bustling Mercado San Agustin, the beautiful Courthouse, the historic Hotel Congress, the wonderful visual richness and history of Barrio Viejo and adjacent neighborhoods, concluding at El Tiradito Wishing Shrine. As well as considerable knowledge, she has great energy and humor and made the tour very memorable and fun for the both of us. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Thanks for the fun time in Tucson. Priscilla shared her enthusiasm for Tucson while leading the tour about the architecture, plants, wildlife, and history. I hope you are able to upgrade to that van for your tours.
