Host was great, food was amazing - I thought the best part of the experience was meeting new people and sharing other food tours. The host Noah was great at pointing out other food and hotel history. Had a great time looking to do it again.

Around the world in Downtown Phoenix - We had a great time on the Phoenix downtown food tour. Noah, our guide, did an excellent job of telling us the history of the sites and telling us about each of the stops. We went to Chico Malo and a little margarita, soft taco, & chips we had some Tom Yum soup and pad tai at Tai Basil, Bosa Donuts, had a unique item at Cornish Pasty, and ice cream at The Yard. All were very good and we didn't leave hungry.

Awesome experience. - We participated in the Phoenix food tour. Our guide Trey did a wonderful job. It was interesting to learn how downtown Phoenix is reinventing itself post-COVID. The restaurants we visited were all amazing. It was also fun to get to know the other people on the tour.

Decent - Food tour was decent; however, for the price, I think a better selection of restaurants would have helped. Guide was energetic. Have no big complaints, but just average in comparison to other walking food tours I’ve done in the past.

DT Phoenix tour, good, but could be so much better. - The first stop at "Chico Malo" was fabulous. Next time we are in Phoenix, we are definitely stopping back there. "Thia Basil" was very good. I think there was too much food. Definitely scratch the doughnut shop as then there was a very good shepard's pie and ice cream! Of all the European food tours we have taken, none of the guides ever read a blurb from sheets of paper! I did enjoy all of the architectural insights and stories about old Phoenix.
