5 Reasons Why a Walking Food Tour with Taste It Tours is Fun

1. Explore & learn about Phoenix

   Whether you are a local or just visiting the Phoenix area, a walking food tour gives you the opportunity to explore the Downtown Phoenix area and learn a little bit about the history and architecture of Downtown Phoenix. I mean how many locals know that the roof of the San Carlos Hotel is the very spot of Phoenix’s first recorded suicide?

2. Let’s talk about food

   That’s the real reason you are going on a walking food tour right? The Downtown Phoenix Walking Food Tour hosted by Taste It Tours is just that, a walking food tour, so bring comfortable shoes, but it is soooo much more. It’s more like a culinary experience that will tantalize your taste buds. Even the most discerning Foodie will appreciate the restaurant and food selections that were hand selected after weeks of “Research & Development.” Yeah our job, if you want to call it that, is really hard. No not really, but sampling all this great food is NOT good for the waist line. Time to go work out or just do another tour.

3. Meet new people

   With anywhere from 2-16 people on our tours you are bound to meet someone new. Even the most introverted person will at least have one meaningful conversation with another tour member. We like to have our guest interact with each other while on our tours. After all, we are all on the tour for great food, a little history, and a damn good time. Right? At least I hope that’s why we are on the tour. Our tour guides like to have a good time and make sure everyone in the group has a good time. REMEMBER, we are not in high school anymore…..so no cliques.

4. Get out of your culinary comfort zone

   Our goal is to introduce people to food that they might not normally try. If you are anything like us, you go to a restaurant saying, “I’m gonna try something different today.” But when it comes time for your order you say, “I’ll have the usual.” Boooooorrrrrrring!!! Come on, break out, get out of that comfort zone. Not daring enough, don’t worry there is a good chance you will step out of your comfort zone with some of the food selections on our tour. Who knows, maybe frog legs or pig’s feet? Just kidding. You got nervous for a second. But you might be lucky enough to sample some delectable Thai food or maybe a Sheppard’s Pie.

5. Last but not least…

   Oh shoot….. I really don’t have a last but not least. AWKWARD!!! I’ll just change the title to 4 Reasons Why a Walking Food Tour with Taste It Tours is Fun. No I won’t, I’ll just make something up as I go along. I’ve been a Phoenix resident for 8 years now and just recently discovered how AWESOME the Downtown area really is. Most people look to Scottsdale for all the good restaurants and culinary hangouts, but look out Scottsdale, Downtown Phoenix is on a mission to take over as the culinary Mecca of the Phoenix area. And with a little help from the Downtown Phoenix Partnership, the Downtown Phoenix Ambassadors, Downtown Live, Taste It Tours and all of the other small businesses that make the Downtown area ROCK we just might make that happen. I know lofty goals, but you have to start somewhere, right?We hope to see all of you on one of our tours. Tours run from 1pm-4pm Thursday thru Sunday. Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-800-838-3006 or order online.
