Learn about the origins of one of the most important cities of the American Southwest, Tucson on this cultural heritage itinerary.
Walking downtown Tucson’s El Presidio and the Barrio Viejo districts, we will explore the history and architecture of the community through the themes of the Native American, Spanish colonial, Mexican, and American Territorial eras, and also explain Tucson’s UNESCO designation as a City of Gastronomy.
This is an opportunity to discover what makes Tucson such a unique and special place that forms part of America's tapestry.
A former National Park ranger leads this tour with a background in historic preservation and heritage interpretation in the southwest. I have also worked on the effort to make the Barrio Viejo neighborhood a National Historic Landmark and at the nearby historic mission of Tumacacori National Historical Park.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the "Tucson Gastronomy tour" of the Barrio Viejo neighborhood. Strolling amongst the colorful adobe houses, brewpubs and Mexican cantinas and offered so much detailed information about everything, architecture, culture, food, local history. We are super excited to book with Alex on the Borderlandia "Mexico City" tour, knowing it will surely be a great adventure. Can't recommend this highly enough!
Very informative and fascinating tour

5.00I did a Rio Sonora tour with Borderlandia in January 2025. Rio Sonora. A very smooth trip. No disruptions. The food was absolutely incredible and learning the history of these small river towns and the Spanish, who moved through this area. I would do this exact same trip again.
