A Tasty, informative and enjoyable experience of Tucson

Published on Feb, 2025

Steve was a great tour guide! His knowledge of both the history of Tucson and the culinary riches of the city made the entire experience a worthwhile way to learn and to enjoy a time with family visitors. Steve was thoughtful in keeping the pace suited to the group’s need, yet moving us between the interesting and enjoyable sampling of good food. I heartily recommend Steve and Secret Food Tours!

Walking food tour was excellent!

Steve was an incredible guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about Tucson and all the food we sampled. He was so much fun! He also did not steer us wrong on his recommendations on other places to eat while we were in Tucson. They were fabulous!

Great introduction to downtown Tucson.

Steve was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide! We got to see some parts of downtown Tucson that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen. The Mercato was fun and the elote pizza blew my mind! Lots of fun!

Great food tour!!
