5.00Our host was very knowledgeable, and each venue offered great food and drinks. The portions were so generous that many of us struggled to finish, and some didn’t! The weather was perfect, and the distance we walked was reasonable. We did have one handicapped guest who left early as it was difficult for him to keep up.
Interesting, delicious, and fun!

5.00We were mostly in Tucson to check out Saguaro National Park, but wanted to explore the city for a day. This was the perfect activity for my partner and I. He loves food, and I enjoy walking around and learning history. Karen was great, and we got to try many delicious plates.
Highly recommend.
