Incredible app. Loved your Mt Lemmon experience. And downloaded a bunch others. Highly recommend this app if they have a guided tour for a road trip you are doing. They tell you so much information and where to stop.

Mt.Lemmon

We just completed the Mt. Lemmon Tour and thoroughly enjoyed it including the music during breaks. In the springtime we did the Monument Valley Tour. Another excellent tour!!!

Great tour

Visited Tucson and took the Mount Lemmon tour. It was a great way to spend the day. Loved the history and tour stops. If we had longer I would have definitely done the Saguaro park tour as well, but it’s definitely on the agenda when we visit again. I can’t recommend this app enough.
