Taste It Tours is a new Phoenix attraction that's ready-made to please your taste buds. This food tasting and cultural walking tour features stops at five to seven downtown restaurants, ranging from small independent cafes to fine dining restaurants.

During the course of three hours, a local food expert takes you on a tour of the restaurants that have re-energized the downtown scene, offering you a behind-the-scenes look at Phoenix's best restaurants. You'll sample award-winning appetizers, entrees, ethnic specialties, local coffee and pastries. All tours also feature drink tasting and an opportunity to purchase high-quality food goods from local vendors. Taste It Tours takes food lovers and travelers on a whirlwind tour of downtown Phoenix's best restaurants and cafes — Photo courtesy of Taste It Tours

To prepare for the tour, simply put on your walking shoes and bring an empty stomach. Choose from a variety of tour options, including the Original Downtown Tour, The Evening Dine Around Tour, the Historic Central Walk & Food Tour and an upcoming Historic Heritage Square Tour.

Not only do participants get to taste the best of Phoenix's food scene, the Taste It Tour offers the perfect opportunity to mix and mingle with fellow travelers and food lovers. Tickets must be purchased in advance from Taste It Tours. Make sure to reserve your spot ahead of time. Small tour group sizes mean that many food tours tend to sell out quickly.
