Tucson Food Tours- Locally Owned Downtown Walking Food Tour
Overview
Taste downtown Tucson on the city's original, #1-rated walking food tour. Locally owned since 2012, over 2,000 five-star reviews, 6–7 restaurant stops, & an expert local guide.
There are newer Tucson food tours out there — but none of them started the movement, and none of them offer more. As the first and longest-running walking food tour in Tucson, we've spent over 14 years perfecting every stop, every story, and every bite. Our tours are crafted to give you more food, more fun, and more authentic Tucson for your ticket price —and that's a promise we've kept since day one.
Even longtime Tucson locals discover something new on every tour. Visitors consistently call it the single best thing they did on their trip to Tucson. Whether you're a first-time visitor looking for the best things to do in Tucson, AZ, or a local who wants to fall in love with your city all over again, this tour delivers.
