Hear ghost stories, explore Hotel Congress, and admire downtown murals on a chef-led walking tour through historic Tucson.

About this tour

Explore downtown Tucson on a one-hour walk through stories of ghosts, bank robbers, murals, and Spanish forts. Led by a James Beard competition-winning chef, this Tucson Historic Walking Tour brings the city’s layered past to life as you stroll among historic landmarks and vivid street art.

Meet at the fountain in front of the Pima Historic Courthouse, where the Dillinger gang was held, then hear tales of Tucson’s past as you visit the haunted Hotel Congress, see some of the city’s custom murals, and explore a rebuilt Spanish fort. Along the way, learn about a settlement shaped by Indigenous ingenuity and Spanish history: local Native communities developed crop irrigation more than 4,000 years ago, and the Spanish built a fort here in 1775.

The outdoor walk takes place rain or shine, so wear comfortable shoes and bring rain gear. Book the Tucson Historic Walking Tour to discover the stories and landmarks that make downtown Tucson distinctive.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.60 from 17 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Seattle
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
