This tour was definitely worth the price. Finding the meeting place was a little challenging. I think the 1st stop at Los Olivos Mexican Patio was my favorite. Loved the atmosphere and the flavorful food. All of the places we went to were tasty and had a variety of local cuisine. Christopher was an excellent guide as he knew history of the establishments, the food, the area we walked through and even the stores. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Good food and history!

The tour is 2 miles long. Twice as long as the guide reported. This was hard being disabled with a cane in 88 degree weather. All restuarant stops were delicious with the exception of the Indian restuarant.
Enjoyable activity to do in Scottsdale

Kristine was informative, pleasant, and fun! She took us to 6 different places where we had tastings. Some of our favorites were the chimichanga, the naked shrimp tacos, and the chocolate malt at The Sugar Bowl.
Stuffed and so fun!!!!

There was a nice variety of menu items. Great food in sweet spots with nice ambiance. Very happy with this tour.

My wife and I have used Secret Food Tours all over the world in places like Paris and Madrid in Europe and NYC in the USA and decided to book one in Scottsdale. Our tour guide was Christopher who did an excellent job. This tour was just as good as any other Secret Food Tour we’ve taken. Christopher was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about food but food in this region and the history of the area. It could have just as easily been a history tour, which was a great bonus. The choices were thoughtfulness and well planned. It was a nice walk, but easy enough for anyone. Christopher also gave us choices of different food options and walking routes depending on what we wanted to see. He got to know us and even had thoughts of menu items we would like better based on our food preferences. He made it very personal. Finally, Christopher made other local dining recommendations, which turned out to be very helpful during our time in the Scottsdale area. We would highly recommend the Secret Food Tour Scottsdale and make sure to ask for Christopher.
