I got invited to do the Phoenix Taste It tour as part of a Christmas party. I had no idea what to expect other than the fact that we would be eating and drinking at different places downtown. Can I just say that after the 3 hour tour was complete I was hoping to be stranded on the island. Jennifer, our guide, was amazing! She took us to so many places and told us the history behind the restaurants, buildings we walked by, and all the secret places many people dont know about. For example, did you know the Valley Bar has a hidden library or the story behind the images displayed at the bar? Did you know Hannys restaurant has a bunch of creepy dolls one the bottom level in which some people have witnessed ghost activity? This tour was much more than eating and drinking (which might I add was incredible)! I would highly recommend this tour and cant wait to do it again. Its perfect for a date night, family outing, or even a work get together. My only suggestion is come hungry!

Trey was a great guide. All the dishes and drinks were amazing! Returned the next day to eat at or buy from 2 stops on our tour. If you are a foodie, I definitely recommend!

We went on the Sunday afternoon tour in Old Scottsdale. It was very well put together and organized. Our tour guide Mitchell was in training, so the owner tagged along as well. All the stops were prepared for us with our tables, food, and drinks ready. The historic commentary was fascinating. The places they took us to were local favorites and we probably would never have known about them otherwise. We enjoyed them immensely! Thanks for the fun afternoon!

Amazing! Highly recommended. Went for a visit to Phoenix to see my grandma and looking for something meaningful to do. Took the Old town Scottsdale tour and it was perfect! The tour guide was so accommodating and thoughtful to my grandmother who was a little slower keeping up. Got so full on great food and great drinks, and local history. Definitely a must do! Will be looking for food tours everywhere I go now.

The food choices were exceptional and our leader Kyle was great. There was, however, much more walking than anticipated; over 2 miles.

Had a great time with Kyle as our tour guide. Was surprised to find we were his 1st tour group. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. All of the restaurants were good and the portions were very generous.

Don’t wait as long as some of us did to take this tour! Our group consisted of all local friends who typically don’t get the opportunity to gather often. In addition we got to meet another couple who joined our tour and we all had a great time. There are so many great elements of this tour. One of the best is learning about all the hiding gems in Downtown Phoenix. The opportunity to visit 5 great downtown culinary hotspots and sample (good Portions) some of their best food and drinks was exciting and all during 1 Sunday afternoon. It was like “speed dining” and the amount of time allotted at each location was perfect. Great Food, Friends, and Tour Guide! Thank YOU Taste It Tours! We will back to see you again soon! What a great experience and fun Sunday afternoon on the town!

I have taken two Taste It Tours and I honestly am ready for my third asap. As soon as I knew Taste It Tours existed I knew that it was something I had to do. A food tour is what my family and I joke about doing every time we visit a new city so when I realized there was an organized tour I could take them on in Phoenix I signed us all up.The first tour we took was the day tour which was a blast. Not only did we get to try some new, unique, local eateries but learned about the history of downtown Phoenix at the same time. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the food was amazing. My favorite stop was Fair Trade Cafe which I have already visited at least 3-4 times since the tour.The evening tour was just as great with even more amazing restaurants to check out. I was even more impressed with the menu/drink samplings and restaurant choices this go around. There was more of a focus on the food & drink versus the history which was a nice change from the day tour.Overall I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone that loves food & wants to learn more about great local restaurants. In addition I would suggest you go for the $10 drink samplings since it only adds to the fun!The Taste It Tour Team knows what they are doing and has done their research to provide the customers with the highest quality experience. Cant wait to check out their new tours!

This is a very fun activity for a small group, large group or if you are just looking to explore, eat good food, learn a little about the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas and make new friends. You will definitely get your belly filled with awesome food so make sure you come hungry. I have been on several food tours because when I have visitors in from out of town, my guest always want to go. It has become a highlight of many visits. I have a group coming out this fall from the Midwest to visit and they have already told let me know that I need to get tickets for the Scottsdale tour!

Even though I have lived in Phoenix for over 10 years, I found the tour a wonderful experience. First off, you will visit locally owned restaurants that are unique with very tasyty food. I was full after visiting 5 restaurants. The food portions was just enough. Also the historical information is interesting. Even though I knew some of the information of the places we passed, I still learned something new. The walk wasnt bad at all, but I recommend comfortable shoes. This has peaked my interest and I plan to try other food tours.

Absolutely loved it! Would be a great experience for any age group; old or young. Jack was a fantastic tour guide. He did a great job of providing interesting facts about down town Phoenix, the food we were eating, and he also answered any and all questions anyone in the group had. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a new way to experience downtown Phoenix.Taste it Tours was also very accommodating, we ended up being a bit late for the first restaurant and made it just in time to walk with the group to the next one.There was a wide variety of food. Authentic mexican tacos at Squash Blossom, Divine Brushetta and pasta at The Strand (located right by the US airways centre), tasty authentic Thai at Basil Thai, pastries and tea at The Café AND a very unique tasting experience at Urban Olive Oils & Balsamic (would definitely recommend going here to anyone who is looking to learn something new and tasting some AMAZING oils and balsamic.)Great Bang for your buck. Request Jack is you can!
