Great 4th Ave. Sunday Tour! - Karen did an amazing job! Not only was the food great, but loved learning local history. We actually had a pretty large group but it all went well. Great way to entertain out of town guests.

4th Ave food tour - This was our third activity with the company, our second time on the 4th Ave food tour. Great as ever. Loved the history and eclectic food choices. Chris is a fabulous tour guide, (we requested him) a native Tucason who loves his town and really knows the food scene. Highly recommend taking a food tour as a local or visitor.

The best food and culture on 4th Ave Tucson - One of the first things we did after arriving in Tucson was take the 4th Avenue and Main Gate Walking Food Tour, and we couldn't have been more pleased! Brad and Karen were incredibly knowledgeable about Tucson’s history and culture, making the tour both educational and fun. It was fantastic learning about the city's past as we visited several local food spots, from the savory Sonoran Hot Dogs to the delicious Birria Ramen—YUM! Each stop offered a unique taste of Tucson’s vibrant culinary scene. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to dive into the culture and flavors of Tucson. It's a must-do for food lovers and history buffs alike!

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!
