5.00We had another fantastic experience with the Tucson Food Tours, this was my third tour with them. The tour was well organized, the food selections were excellent, and our guide Karen Brown was knowledgeable and engaging throughout the experience. It was a great way to learn about Tucson’s culture and history while trying amazing local restaurants and specialties. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and we left full, happy, and with several places we want to revisit. Highly recommend for both visitors and locals looking to experience the best of Tucson’s food scene.”
Love the Tucson Murals

5.00Karen gave us a wonderful Mural and History tour. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. The company scheduled a tour at my request since nothing was scheduled on their website when we signed up. We had a great time and learned a lot!

5.00Karen was an excellent and personable guide and brought the murals and the history of Tucson to life. Lots of good suggestions as well for places to eat (helps that she also does food tours in the neighbourhood). We've done street art / history tours in many places and this one was very enjoyable.
Fun, informative, and the food was great!

5.00Chris gave us a very fun and informative tour, and the food and beverages were excellent. It was a great introduction to downtown Tucson for us, and Chris seemed to genuinely enjoy getting to know everyone in the group. Well worth the price.

5.00I've lived in Tucson for four years and learned so much from this tour with Karen! Lots of great historical information, got to see lots of murals, discovered super cool artisan shopping I didn't know existed, and got to have a treat at Scented Leaf (love the hot lemon and ginger with honey!) Got an quick tour of a steam locomotive, too. Karen is a great tour guide!
Great tour guide!
