Q&A

Q: Can you do this food tour if you have dietary restrictions?

A: Yes! The Thoughtful Chef Tours team is really accommodating. Just make sure to notify them of any dietary restrictions when you book the tour. They will work with you to provide tasty alternatives that fit your needs. I went with a friend who is vegan, and they had some great options for her!

Q: What should we wear for the walking food tour? Is it all outdoors?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking a decent amount around downtown Tucson. Dress in layers too! Mornings can be a bit chilly but it warms up quickly. I wore a light jacket and was fine. Also, don’t forget sunscreen, especially in the afternoon sun. You’ll want to be comfy while you enjoy those tasty bites!

Q: Is there a minimum age for this tour? Would it be suitable for kids?

A: The tour is generally suitable for all ages! Kids can join, but it’s best if they’re okay with walking and trying new foods. Note that some tastings might have flavors that are a bit adventurous for younger palates. They also offer a discount for kids under 12, which is nice. I took my 10-year-old, and she had a blast!

Just did the Taste of Tucson food tour and WOW!

I went on the Taste of Tucson walking food tour last week and it was amazing! Our guide was a chef who really knew his stuff, and the tastings were diverse — from street tacos to some traditional Mexican desserts. We also learned a lot about Tucson's food scene. It's definitely worth the price if you're looking for a fun gift! Highly recommend it for anyone curious about Tucson's gastronomy.
