Whether you're a brand-new visitor to Phoenix, or an old-timer at the attractions of sixth most populous city in the U.S., the four-hour Phoenix city tours help you understand this city's attributes. The multiple stops you make include the Tempe Town Lake, Arizona State University, Old Town Scottsdale, scenic perspectives, Chase Field, which is home to Major League Baseball's (MLB) Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Arizona Capitol Building.
According to the 2010 census, 1.4 million people live in Phoenix and 4.2 million reside in the Phoenix metro area, named the "Valley of the Sun." Developed in 1861 at the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers, Phoenix is the home of several known U.S. notables, such as the first woman Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Senator John McCain, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and Senator Carl Hayden, who maintained the distinction of serving the U.S. Senate for the longest time in the early and mid-1900s with constant service between March 4, 1927 and January 3, 1969.
Historic exhibits at the Arizona Capitol Museum, which are on the Phoenix city tours, detail the culture and history of the 48th state. Artifacts from the USS Arizona, one of the U.S. Naval vessels sunk during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, are on display. Erected in 1898, the Arizona State Capitol Building was constructed to prove to the national that the Arizona Territory was deserving of statehood status. It's made from products native to Arizona, such as the lava rock called malapai, granite and copper.
