Loved the food and loved Karen Brown, the tour guide. Reservations were easily made online, and an email was sent out with parking info and meeting info, which was entirely accurate.I was concerned at first because Karen didn't know one of our party had a vegetarian ticket purchased, but she made some calls, and it was easily resolved.We started at the tea shop, and Karen brought us amazing donuts from La Estrellas, a local bakery, to eat with our tea. From there we went to the Hub and had the most tender pastrami sample, and some great cheese curds. Next was the weird stop of Kava - I am not a fan. Then through the Tucson City Hall, and memorial gardens, learning a bit of history along the way.We stopped and had margaritas and tamales at El Charro, which were fantastic. And then a lovely little salad at Nook - who knew fried capers could be so delicious? Followed by a small slice of carne seca pizza at The Monica, then lastly The Screamery for ice cream.All in all an extremely enjoyable time, and I highly recommend Karen Brown as a tour guide.

I've lived in Tucson for four years and learned so much from this tour with Karen. Lots of great historical information, got to see lots of murals, discovered super cool artisan shopping I didn't know existed, and got to have a treat at Scented Leaf (love the hot lemon and ginger with honey!) Got an quick tour of a steam locomotive, too. Karen is a great tour guide! Highly recommend the Murals and Tucson History Tour!

Wow did we love this tour! Not only did we get to eat soooo much delicious food but we also learned a ton about the city of Tucson!Chris was an awesome tour guide for our Main Gate/4th Avenue Tour. He was so friendly and informative! The owners of this company are also super helpful people and were able to help me when I emailed them months in advance asking them if we could do this tour on a Friday (since it's normally offered Saturdays) and they happily obliged for my group of 4 (we had 4 other random people join us who turned out to be lovely people that were fun to spend time with)At $69/person + tax/fees this tour was amazing value for your money!! I learned sooo many cool stories about Tucson and also we got sooo much great tasting food!Of course restaurant availability is subject to change, but on our 4th Avenue/Main Gate Tour this is what we ate on our April 2024 tour:-Sonoran Hot Dogs 10/10-Burria taco alongside burria broth with ramen noodles in it 10/10-Jack Fruit Taco (the restaurant been closed since February 2024 so we didn't get to do this despite wanting to )-Kush Burger 10/10-Mezze platter 6/10-Firenze pizza 9/10-Pastel de elote (corn cheesecake with caramel) 10/10Overall we HIGHLY recommend this tour! We've done food tours in other cities but this one is for sure one of the best!

We went on their new Summer Progressive Dinner Tour an had amazing time! Brad was extremely knowledgeable about the history of downtown Tucson as well as the stops during the tour. He told us stories of the past when Tucson was just a horse town, the history of the businesses along our tour, and about the families that started the establishments we visited.Now.....the food!!!! OMG does Brad know where and what to pick. We visited 5 locally owned spots. Brad arranges a sampling of items from each stop and I must say he has amazing taste. The food at each of these places was absolutely delicious.So whether you're new to the Old Pueblo, or born and raised, we highly suggest checking our one of the upcoming tours and help support multiple local stops in one outing.
