WHAT TO EXPECT ON OUR WALKING FOOD TOUR OF SCOTTSDALE

Join Secret Food Tours on a food tour through Downtown Scottsdale. You'll dine in a number of locally owned restaurants, trying some of their signature dishes.

Learn the story of a city that started with mere citrus grove and became the leading destination for luxury resorts and fine dining. At the end of your Scottsdale food tour, you'll have sampled some of this city’s most unique dishes that shaped the southwest and gained a better understanding of its culture and history.

Your Scottsdale food tour starts here as you imagine everything you’ll see and all the delicious dishes you’ll try. All the food will be served with water.

  • We'll start at The Little Red School House, to find where the foundation of Scottsdale was laid.
  • Next, you will find a Mexican staple that helped build this town, literally!
  • As we walk through old town we will then stop at the only Indigenous restaurant in the region to meet the 3 sisters who shaped cuisine as we know it!
  • For something a little more quenching, take refreshment with an authentic Chocolate Malt shake straight out of the past!
  • Just around the corner we will travel farther west for a little Island food from Scottsdales top tiki restaurant
  • Our longest walk yet will lead you through even more hidden gems to the last food stop that is the secret of secret cuisine here in Scottsdale, Arizona!
  • We will end at the 5 horse fountain; where beauty, intelligence and grace intertwine both animal and city with this unmatched tribute.
  • When you purchase our Upgraded Drinks Package, you'll enjoy the following in addition to the drinks already served on the tour:

I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and see if there is anything we can do. We cannot promise but we will try our best to sort something out for you.

Is there a lot of walking?

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 30 minutes of walking, but it is not too difficult and is broken up between food stops. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well. In case you have any issues walking, we recommend you get in touch to try booking a Private tour.

We take 12 people maximum. If you are more than 10 people, please do not hesitate to email us and we will try to see if we can accommodate.

Our guide will take care of everything. Should you wish to try something special, please inform our guide and they will do their best to make you happy.

Where does your food come from?

Top - quality, fresh and local! From Vendors and restaurants. All vendors are carefully regulated so that the food will be safe to eat.

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Scottsdale. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

Can I pay the tour in cash?

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
