We met Priscilla at the main entrance of mercado San Agustín and after a quick tour of that interesting place she grabbed a delicious cookie for us from the bakery there and we spent 3 great hours exploring the various historic barrios nearby. We saw places of historical notoriety, simple beauty and great elegance as we explored the historic vs recent architectural aspects of homes and buildings in the area. It was a 5 star event and Priscilla is a wonderful tour guide.

Our guide, Priscilla, was informative and fascinating. She is so proud of her hometown and she went great lengths to bring Tucson alive for us.

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
