Amazing overview of Oldtown Scottsdale

5.00Our only regret is that we didn’t sign up for this Tour earlier in our weeklong visit to Scottsdale. Our guide Christopher was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and was clearly also very passionate and eligible about food. He was a Lance or mini off the cuff questions even about things that weren’t directly related to the content of our tour. There were a few items that were unique to the Arizona food scene as well as several items that were just pretty typical and could be found many different places around the country. We had a total of about 12 people on our tour, which was maybe a little bit too many but it was still manageable. We walked a total of 6 miles during our four hour tour.
Great food tour experience!

5.00We had an amazing time on this food tour with our guide Christopher. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and you could tell that he really cared about giving a great tour. The restaurants that we tried were great and had a mixed variety of food. The 3 1/2 hours flew by. I highly recommend taking this tour. We intend to try the Phoenix food tour the next time we come back to the area.
Best Food Tour!

5.00This tour was a great experience! We should have booked it at the beginning of our stay rather than at the end! Please don't make that mistake. Chris has so much valuable information on the local food scene that we could never have known other than on this tour. We check reviews very closely when we travel, so I felt we were making great choices as far as food goes, but getting the scoop from a local is invaluable and we never would have known about some of the places Chris took us to. They were low key, with delicious food and really reasonably priced, unlike the majority of Scottsdale eateries. Also, it was a nice, long tour, 3 hours at least and we were not rushed in any way, which gave us time to spread out our tastings. Chris gave us a lot of history and background about the city and surrounding areas as well as stories about the local restaurants we went to and others that he recommended for future meals. The price was well worth it and I highly recommend that you experience this tour.
Great food tour of Scottsdale!

5.00An Absolutely Fantastic Food Tour with Christopher! I can’t say enough good things about this walking food tour in Scottsdale! Christopher was an amazing guide who made the entire experience memorable. He has an incredible knowledge of the area’s history and peppered our walk with fascinating fun facts that kept everyone engaged throughout. What really set Christopher apart was his ability to keep things interesting and his talent for connecting with the group. He could easily converse on so many different topics, making everyone feel included in the conversation. It never felt like a scripted tour - just a wonderful afternoon exploring Scottsdale with someone who genuinely loves what they do. The food stops were excellent, but honestly, Christopher’s enthusiasm and expertise elevated the whole experience. I’m already planning to tell all my friends about this tour. If you’re in Scottsdale and looking for a great way to explore the food scene while learning about the area, I highly recommend booking this tour - and ask for Christopher if you can
