Karen Brown led an informative and lively tour while making sure we were well hydrated on an unusually hot day in Tucson. Also she did her best to keep us in the shade during our two mile trek. The small plates were outstanding at every stop and Karen did a great job telling us the backstories of each place. We enthusiastically recommend this tour to newcomers to Tucson as well as long-time residents!
