The Tucson branch of Grey Line Tours is offering visitors a different kind of tour.

According to CNN, for $89, tourists can jump on a bus as part of the new "Border Crisis: Fact and Fiction" tour.

The tour operator bills the trip as "a fact-finding mission" that allows tourists to draw their own conclusions. "Don't let the politicians and news broadcasters become your only source of information," the tour description says on the Gray Line Tours' website.

While on the tour, participants are shown the border fence, allowed to watch the Border Patrol in action, shown a watering station and taken for short walk through the desert. After their walk, the participants meet with ranchers in favor of securing the border and people who advocate making it easier for both products and migrant workers to pass through the border.

The trip is only offered twice a month and over 100 people have already been on it since it begun in April. Grey Line Tours said it expects interest to rise as Arizona welcomes cooler weather.
