Three Must-Try Food and Drink Walking Tours in Phoenix and Scottsdale
If you're like me and love trying everything, a walking tour is the perfect way to do it, especially on vacation. During a 3-night visit to Phoenix or Scottsdale, you might only have a few chances to sample the local cuisine. Instead of betting on a single restaurant, opt for a walking tour that lets you check off several spots in one go! In some cases, you'll have a guide who can share fascinating stories about the area—and maybe even some ghost tales.
The TOURS
