Tucson Bike Tours is a company that specializes in bicycle tours of Tucson's historic neighborhoods around downtown, 4th avenue, and the university.
Established in 2014 by a former Peace Corps volunteer and his wife, each tour takes you on a 7-10 mile tour through the heart of the city.
Each tour includes an individually fitted bicycle & helmet, water, and a knowledgable guide.
The meeting place is at the Tucson Bike Tours office at 215 N. Hoff Avenue near Congress and Toole.
There are three different tours to choose from.
