Lots of great food and entertaining history - Great tour! We learned so much about Tucson and got to try lots of different foods! This tour will definitely leave you feeling full! Chris did a great job providing us with history, answering our questions, and having a great sense of humor. On the tour we sampled half of a sonoran hot dog, a quesabirria taco and birria ramen, a quarter of a kush burger, a sampler plate of mediterranean food, a slice of pizza, and a cheesecake-like dessert. Great way to tour the city and try different restaurants!

Best Food Tour! - We had an AMAZING experience on our Tucson Food Tour. The food was the best - from Greek cuisine to birria tacos to pizza - all followed by dessert. Chris was our tour guide - and we would recommend requesting him! He has so much knowledge of the town & food!

Fun, filling and informative! - What a fun tour! Our guide Chris was great and knew a lot about not only the food, but also the history of the area. The food was great too and just the right quantity. I'd highly recommend both the tour and Chris!

Great way to experience Tucson! - What a great way to learn a bit about Tucson, see some great murals and sample some great food the city has to offer! Chris was a great guide, providing lots of commentary along the way. We enjoyed it all but our fav was the Sonoran dog and the birria taco with ramen consume. We’ve done food tours all over the world and this one did not disappoint. We truly enjoyed and highly recommend!

Great way to sample several restaurants in a few hours! - We had done the downtown food tour several years ago and loved it. We decided it was time to try out the 4th Ave/Main Gate tour. Thanks to Maria, co-owner, we were able to book for March 29. We enjoyed a wide variety of delicious food and learned things about Tucson's history that we had not previously known. Also rode the Sun Link for the first time ever. Our tour guide Chris, was amazing and full of food knowledge and local knowledge. This is definitely a must do for both locals and tourists.

Food tour for Foodies - We were given this as a gift and took out Daughter and son-in-law . Chris was full of information about Tucson's food scene and its History. He is also a huge Foodie and fun to be around. All of the places we stopped and the samples we were given were excellent! Trust me, You will be more than filled at the end of the tour. So, my suggestion is to take the 1.2mile walk back to the starting point and enjoy University and 4th Ave. Thanks Chris for an entertaining day.
