| - Normally, the cost for this tour is $42, there was a groupon for $25- the tour sounded interesting so a group of us bought the groupon.
We throughly enjoyed the tour and thought Annie Harris, a budding entrepreneur, did a funlicious and foodlicious job of organizing and leading the tour.
Annie hails from Santa Fe where walking tours were aplenty and when she moved to Scottsdale, she couldn't believe no such tours existed here. Well, she didn't wait around for one to happen- she made it happen.
The tour is well organized. Once you book the tour, she sends you a confirmation email with the meeting place and the best places for parking. You show up, she hands you a bottle of water and a map of the walk tour that you will be taking.
We went to six different places: The Rusty Spur, Outrageous Olive Oils and Vinegars, Su Vino Winery, Frank & Lupe's, Cowboy Ciao, and the Sugar Bowl.
At each restaurant, there were no delays in getting our sample since they were anticipating our arrival. And I must say, the food/samples served were a good size and plenty tummy rubbing good!
Out of the 6 spots, 3 of the spots were new to me so I was glad to go there. I esp. enjoyed the Rusty Spur, the Outrageous Olive Oils and Vinegars and plan on booking a party at the Su Vino Winery.
Annie takes us on a good, walking route with tibits of history between the restaurants~ I learned things about Scottsdale I didn't know before and I've been living here for over 10 years!
The only thing lacking was one of my friends did not eat beef or pork and all three restaurants (The Rusty Spur, Frank & Lupe's, and Cowboy Ciao) served either beef or pork so I wished there was a chicken option for my friend's sake and for others in the same position.
Would I pay $42 instead of the $25~ absolutely! It was that enjoyable.
