I am originally from Long Island, New York and have lived in Tucson, Arizona for an awesome 40 years. I love Tucson, it may not have an ocean or trees and grass but it definitely has its own beauty. With the bluest skies and Old West spirit its sure to win your heart as well. I am of Italian and Filipina ancestry and have been in the travel and hospitality industry for over 13 years. I have accompanied guests to basilicas, mansions, beer breweries, museums and more throughout the U. S. , however, my love and passion are where my home is in Tucson and I am excited to be able to share Tucson's culture, history and natural beauty. All my guests are special and I look forward to giving you a great tour. Join me for fun, interesting tours, where we will be creating memories and adventures to last a lifetime.

Lorraine was great! We wanted to see the highlights of the Tucson area and she did such a great job showing us a little bit of everything. She was also very flexible and accommodating to what we wanted and to our traveling restrictions. She has a lot of knowledge about the area.

Lorraine took me, my mom, and my sister on a wonderful tour of Tucson! She is very knowledgeable of the area, and you can tell has an enthusiasm and love of her city. It can be difficult to get a sense of a city in such a short duration, but we ended the tour feeling that we received a great snapshot of the area. Lorraine was very accommodating of any requests we had, and I look forward to doing a more in-depth tour with her in the future the next time we are in Tucson.

I have never been to Tucson, or Arizona for that matter and wanted an overall tour of the city. Lorraine was a great tour guide with her 37 years of living in Tucson. She knew so much history and the local knowledge. Highlighting the major elements and also some hidden gems which is a mark of great guide. I highly recommend this tour.
