We had a fabulous time touring the 4th Avenue food scene. Our tour guide Chris was very informative and introduced us to a number of different food venues. The food was plentiful and super delicious. We all walked away completely stuffed. We are new to the Tucson area and wanted to learn more about the community. This tour delivered and then some. Can’t wait to try another food tour exploring a different neighborhood.
Delicious Food

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.
Chris is the Best Tour guide

Our group of four friends booked this 4 hour tour and we had an amazing time. The “tastings” (which were large) were all very delicious and our guide, Chris, provided us with lots of Tucson history and recommendations for local sites and restaurants. You will definitely not leave hungry. Highly recommended!
So fun, interesting and delicious!
