    Great tour with lots of info on the area and a lot of good food! We would go again with our wonderful tour guide Karen!

    Delicious Food; Chris was Awesome!

    Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Chris, was friendly and upbeat. He shared so much interesting information about the area where we were walking, the places we were eating, and the Tucson area in general. There was plenty of food—maybe more than I could eat! All of it was delicious and interesting. And it encouraged me to sample things I might not have ordered on my own but would definitely order now! Save room for the desert at the last stop—so delicious and not something I have ever had before! I appreciate that Chris had us take the air conditioned trolley back to our starting point rather than walking it. It does get hot outside in Tucson even in November!! And we were all so full of delicious food and drink.

    Great thing to do even for locals!

    This was a fantastic tour, even for people who live in Tucson (like us). We were celebrating our anniversary and it was everything we were looking for! Lots of food choices, everything tasted great, and Kathy our tour guide was FANTASTIC!

    Great food tour!

    The food tour had 6 stops which was a lot. We were full at the end. They also arranged a free drink at a 7th stop which was completely unexpected. Karen , the tour guide was very knowledgeable and even sent us a few restaurant recommendations after the tour. Loved her!!
