Discover the bold, unforgettable flavors that define Tucson on our Sonoran Flavors Food Tour!

 

A curated 2-hour walking experience designed for guests who want an authentic taste of the region in less time. This shorter, flavor-forward tour features four locally owned food stops, each highlighting the dishes, ingredients, and traditions that have earned Tucson its designation as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.

Along the route, guests will enjoy handmade tamales, world-famous Sonoran hot dogs, blue corn empanadas, and a refreshing Sonoran raspado, with each stop offering a true bite of Southern Arizona’s culinary heritage. Unlike our longer walking tours, this experience includes fewer history pauses and places the emphasis squarely on eating—making it perfect for travelers with tight schedules, families, and anyone eager to dive straight into Tucson’s food culture.

Your knowledgeable local guide will share insights into the roots of Sonoran cuisine and point out hidden gems along the way, but the heart of this tour is simple: come hungry and savor Tucson’s most iconic flavors in one delicious, unforgettable experience.
