What it is
This is Scottsdale's original food tour — locally owned, running since 2009, and the longest-established in town. Over roughly two to three hours a local guide walks your group through Old Town Scottsdale, stopping at a rotation of the district's favorite restaurants and tasting rooms: names like The Mission, AZ88, Malee's Thai, Frasher's Tavern and Aridus Wine Company have all featured. Unlike a lot of food tours, both the food and the alcoholic beverages are included, so you're genuinely eating and drinking your way through, not just sampling bites.
The tour starts in front of the historic Old Adobe Mission and threads through Old Town's culture and culinary scene along the way. It's been voted a top-five food tour in the country by USA Today, so it's a proven, polished pick rather than a gamble.
Why it works for the group
For a bachelor party, this is the daytime block that sorts food and drinks in one move — no debating where to eat, no separate bar tab, just a guide walking the crew through several of Old Town's best spots with the beers and cocktails already included. It's more substantial than a tasting tour: you actually eat, you actually drink, and you cover real ground in a walkable, easy district. Because the alcohol's baked in, it doubles as a warm-up that leads straight into Old Town's bars for the night.
It's the pick when the group wants to eat well and get a session going without anyone playing planner or picking up the check.
Planning tips
When to book: It runs seven days a week but weekend slots fill in peak season — book once your headcount's set and confirm through the Viator listing.
What to budget: Expect a per-person price in the $$$ range (2026), which includes both the food and the alcoholic drinks — that inclusion is a big part of the value versus a tasting-only tour.
Time to set aside: Plan for two to three hours on foot. Come hungry, wear comfortable shoes for walking Old Town, and book it for late morning or early afternoon so it leads into the evening.
