How to Choose the Best Food Tour in Tucson

Tucson has one of the most exciting food scenes in the United States. As the first UNESCO City of Gastronomy in North America, the city offers incredible flavors influenced by Mexican, Native American, and Sonoran culinary traditions.

With several food tour companies now operating in Tucson, visitors often ask:

“How do I choose the best food tour in Tucson?”

Here are a few important things to consider when selecting your experience.

1. Choose a Locally Owned Company

One of the biggest differences between food tour companies is whether they are locally owned or part of a larger national brand.

Tucson Food Tours is proudly locally owned and operated, and our tours were created by Tucson residents who have spent years working in the restaurant and hospitality industry.

Because of this, our guides are able to share deeper insight into Tucson’s culture, history, and food scene.

2. Look for the Original Experience

Tucson Food Tours launched in 2012 and was the first food tour company in Tucson.

Over the past 14+ years, we’ve helped thousands of visitors and locals discover Tucson’s incredible restaurants and culinary history.

Choosing an established company with years of experience can help ensure a smoother, more polished tour experience.

3. Food Portion Sizes Matter

Not all food tours offer the same amount of food.

At Tucson Food Tours, our tastings are known for being generous and satisfying, adding up to more then a full meal by the end of the tour.

We always tell guests:

Come hungry.

4. Look at Reviews

Reviews can tell you a lot about the quality of a tour.

Tucson Food Tours has thousands of 5-star reviews from guests who loved their experience exploring Tucson’s restaurants, murals, and historic landmarks.

5. Book Directly With the Tour Company

When researching online, you may see ads or listings that look similar.

If you're specifically looking for Tucson Food Tours, we recommend booking directly through our website to ensure you are reserving the tour you intended.

Discover Tucson Through Food

If you're visiting Tucson or even if you're a local looking to explore the city in a new way, a food tour is one of the best experiences you can have.
