About the event
The tour takes you on a journey through time as you explore the largest collection of historic adobe houses in the country. The neighborhood was nearly destroyed during the 1960s when Urban Renewal was all the rage.
We will explore the neighborhood and learn about the architecture, people, and events that were the foundation for Tucson’s culture.
Our guide, Mauro Trejo, serves as a historical neighborhood guide with the Presidio Museum and makes the tour come alive with stories and energetic enthusiasm.
The tour is approximately 1(one) mile in length and lasts anywhere from one and a half to one hour and 45 minutes. The Tour ends at El Minuto Mexican restaurant with light refreshment (Margarita and chips & Salsa.)
