Sample downtown food scene - Peter was our guide for the afternoon. The tour takes you walking past many of the historical buildings in downtown and Peter does a good job of sharing the buildings stories. There are many stops along the way to sample local restaurants dishes. Our first stop was Chico Malo for a margarita and chicken birria taco. We also had pizza that was delicious, local doughnut shop, Bosa, pad Thai at Thai Basil and ice cream at The Yard. Come hungry for this tour, there is a lot. It was an enjoyable afternoon and a very good way to acclimate to downtown for future afternoons or evenings in this area.

This was a wonderful tour... - This was a wonderful tour that included the history of some of the buildings we passed, and unusual facts about Phoenix. The stops for food were delightful. My favorite was the bread at the Italian restaurant. This is well worth the money.

highly recommend! - excellent communication and planning, great stories and info provided on the tour, outstanding food stops with unique decor and themes at each stop, plenty of food! i’ve been on several of these tours in many states and this one was one of the best! also - phoenix is a very clean city with very few homeless. i think we saw 3 and one was being pushed out by police so they have a good handle on it unlike other big cities. super fun vibe, friendly people! such a great tour and visit!

Monday is not a good day to book. - Disappointed we booked tour on a Monday. Two of the stops were not opened. Lack of communication? Too bad we didn’t get to all the restaurants.

Not what we expected…. - Peter- our guide - was personable and informative. Very interesting tales of Phoenix history. Fun.
But, a “food tour” ??. The food at each stop was paltry and unimpressive. None of the restaurants seemed to take it seriously…. An afterthought.
Basically, it was a nice history tour… with snacks. Disappointed.
