Zach did a great job leading this tour. He was friendly, interesting, and professional. He obviously knows and cares about Scottsdale, and the local people who run the restaurants he brought us to. We visited a good variety of restaurants (barbeque, Thai, Italian, gelato) and had appetizers, salad, main dishes, and dessert along with 2 alcoholic drinks. When we walked between the restaurants we learned about the history of Scottsdale and saw various sections (historic/"western" area, art district, shopping district). He helped facilitate a comfortable environment where a group of strangers could spend a few hours eating and walking around a city together. It was a very nice way to spend an evening. Definitely a "must do" if you are visiting!

Awesome experience Lindsey is an amazing guide., so knowledgeable, friendly & laid back. She talked about the wonderful history of Scottsdale while we enjoyed generous portions of food at 4 different restaurants. Our group was 7 people which was the perfect size! Highlight was the authentic gelato with ingredients imported from Italy. Store is owned by an Italian family & gelato was delicious! Would highly recommend this tour

We had a great time on this tour! Zach was incredibly knowledgeable about various activities around Scottsdale and helped us greatly in recommendations for other parts of our trip. It was so fun to experience so many restaurants at once while also having amazing service, overall highly recommend!!

It was the perfect day! Arizona Food Tours was a surprise for my husband for his birthday. Lindsey was our tour guide and even the cold (rare rain storm earlier that morning) didn't stop us. The restaurants were ready for us at every stop, the food was fresh out of the kitchen and amazing! The drinks complimented every dish perfectly. And the knowledge that Lindsey had of Scottsdale and the culinary scene was impressive! She made our experience over the top and I couldn't be more grateful for a wonderful birthday celebration!

Zach and his tour was incredible! I definitely recommend his company for a unique, enjoyable, and tasty experience. He was amazing about any food sensitivities, etc, which was also much appreciated. I would love to do a different tour with him next time we visit. Thanks again for a fun afternoon!

My parents and I had a really great time on this food tour with Lindsey. She was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The food was delightful and was a great variety. Very much worth the money and in a huge restaurant town, this helps you find new favorites. Thank you!

Our food guide Zach was AWESOME!!! Friendly, accommodating, informative and lots of fun!!! Great food and delicious drinks!!! We all had a wonderful time!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

If you're looking for something fun to do in Scottsdale, I'd highly recommend the "Taste of Old Town" foodie tour. Bring your appetite and get ready to indulge in best bites and highlights of the local Old Town restaurant scene.

Zach from Arizona Food Tours showed us great food, great local history, and great fun! My wife and I have done several food tours in other cities and would highly recommend Arizona Food Toours for Scottsdale! Zach was very responsive to my questions before we booked! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED And.....when we return we plan to take another tour from Zach!

From EVO Italian restaurant.....excellent stuff and service!

Zack was an awesome host! Our whole group had a blast! Highly recommend spending your afternoon doing this great tour!

'Latinos for Lake': Candidate attempts to reach essential Arizona voting bloc in US Senate race

The scene was similar and the target was identical.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake held a Latino-themed campaign event at a boxing gym in Goodyear on Wednesday. It came a month after Ruben Gallego, the only Democrat running in the race, held a campaign event for a largely Hispanic audience at a boxing gym in Glendale .

Both events offered Mexican food outside the gym, and in both cases, the candidates hoped to win over Latino voters, a competitive and growing demographic group in Arizona.

Lake’s message to her “Latinos for Lake” supporters sounded largely like her speeches to other groups as well: She alluded to efforts to bribe her from running, said 12 million illegal immigrants push down wages while raising housing costs and she ruminated on the 2020 and 2022 elections.

“Right now, people can’t even afford to feed themselves, let alone start a family,” she told a gathering of perhaps 200 people at Sonny’s Boxing Gym as she shifted to the subject of inflation. “Right now, under Bidenomics, you can’t even afford a Chipotle meal once a week. It’s just out of reach.”

Polling has suggested that former President Donald Trump is showing surprising appeal to Hispanic voters, especially men. While President Joe Biden still wins that demographic overall, his margins are relatively small and have contributed to Trump’s consistent lead in Arizona polling.

Trump in Arizona: Trump takes the stage to cheers at Dream City Church in Phoenix

A Republican consultant not involved in the Senate race but familiar with Arizona polling said that Lake isn’t doing as well with Hispanics as Trump. Publicly available polling shows Lake trailing Gallego, sometimes by numbers outside the margin of error.

It’s why both Senate candidates are looking to reach Hispanics in search of support that could help tip the race.

Lake, whose husband is Hispanic, has held events in Latino-heavy areas like Nogales and sat for extended interviews with Spanish-language Univision.

Gallego, who is the son of Hispanic immigrants, held a town hall in Maryvale entirely in Spanish, among other events that have included judging a tamale festival and taking part in a food tour in south Phoenix and the West Valley.

His campaign declined to comment on Lake’s event Wednesday.

Many in the crowd appeared not to be Hispanic. One thing that seemed to unite all the attendees was their high opinion of Lake.

Avondale resident Gene Garcia, 51, said he’s a Lake supporter and the Latino theme of the event was unimportant to him.

“A lot of her events are in Scottsdale or in the East Valley. She’s here in the West Valley, and that’s where I’m at.”

Garcia said he appreciates her traditional pro-family message and wants a political change for the seat held by the retiring U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz.

Ricky DeHoyoz, a Phoenix resident who was active in Lake’s 2022 gubernatorial campaign, was on hand for a candidate he still backs.

He said he was troubled by Lake’s conflicting reactions to the Arizona Supreme Court upholding a near-total ban on abortion but still views her as a better option than Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, who is also seeking the GOP nomination and has said he unequivocally supports the 19th-century law.

Lake mentioned her fondness for large families but didn’t discuss abortion.

If she avoided one subject, abortion, that has created problems for her in the past, she went on at length about another.

“I am the only one running for U.S. Senate who will acknowledge that the 2020 election was fraught with fraud, and so was 2022,” she said.

During a recent forum that included Lamb, Lake referred to his congressional testimony in which he said he didn’t have evidence of widespread election fraud. She went on to call Lamb a “total coward” for not claiming the 2020 election was stolen. Lamb has said he doubts Biden fairly received 81 million votes, but he had no evidence of fraud in his county.

The entire subject of election denialism is a topic the National Republican Senatorial Committee has urged Lake to drop.

Near the end of her 20-minute speech, Lake hit Gallego with the kind of labels that may resonate with Hispanics.

“Many of you might have families who come from parts of Latin America or other parts that have escaped to America,” Lake said. “Ruben Gallego wants to drag us by the collar back into that Marxism and socialism. We cannot have that.”

The event Wednesday included an appearance from Tito Ortiz, a retired mixed martial arts fighter and, briefly, a member of the city council in Huntington Beach, Calif.

11 signs of 'over-the-top' wealth and luxury I spotted in Arizona's millionaire enclave

• Scottsdale and Paradise Valley make up Arizona's wealth enclave, where homes cost up to $75 million.
• The area has been known for its luxury market for decades, and millionaires continue to move there.
• I visited both Phoenix suburbs and saw signs of extreme luxury, from lavish hotels to mega-mansions.

Millionaires are flocking to side-by-side suburbs on the outskirts of Phoenix in a picturesque desert surrounded by mountains.

Scottsdale and Paradise Valley have been known for their luxury markets for as long as real-estate agent Shawn Shackelton can remember. She's been selling homes in both towns since 2001.

Scottsdale now has nearly 15,000 millionaire residents, AZ Central reported earlier this year. According to and USA Wealth Report by Henley & Partners , it's one of the fastest-growing US cities in terms of affluence.

Paradise Valley, an area between Scottsdale and Phoenix, is also known as the " Beverley Hills of Arizona ," the state's richest municipality.

Shackelton told BI that most of her clients are C-suite executives , tech entrepreneurs, medical doctors, or young retirees .

I recently visited the two wealthy suburbs and learned that the luxury lifestyle goes beyond desert mountain views. Extrtavegant properties, upscale amenities, and lavish details may make residents and travelers alike feel wrapped in riches.

I spotted 11 signs of over-the-top luxury during a 48-hour whirlwind trip to the millionaire desert oasis.

I spotted the first sign of luxury while booking hotel stays. The wealthy enclave has some of the best resorts in Arizona.

People often travel to Arizona for luxurious vacations. Many resorts are centered on wellness, from world-class spas to mountainous hikes and upscale golf clubs, Condé Nast Traveler reported in 2023 . 

According to Scottsdale's Tourism and Events department , tourists spent $3.2 billion on travel in 2022.

While scanning the internet for top-tier accommodations for my trip, I found that two of the best resorts in the state are in Arizona's wealth enclave — the Phoenician in Scottsdale and the Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley .

The former was dubbed "Arizona's Leading Resort," according to the 2023 World Travel Awards, and Forbes Travel Guide has given the hotel its Four-Star Award for 22 years running, according to the hotel's website .

Meanwhile, the latter is the "best hotel in Arizona," according to Travel + Leisure 's 2023 "World's Best Awards," a ranking based on reader surveys.

I spent one night in each and experienced different VIP lifestyles in the desert oasis. 

At the Hermosa Inn, I was in awe of the extravagant landscaping.

The Hermosa Inn is a historic place where luxury and the Wild West collide. The main building is roughly 80 years old, and the rooms — all stand-alone — were built in the same traditional Mexican and Spanish architectural style, according to the company's website .

The property was just six acres, but my accommodation was larger than any hotel room I've ever stayed in. It felt more like an Airbnb — but with guest services.

Inside, I had a king-sized bed that made me feel like royalty. It had tall, wooden posts that nearly touched the ceiling with wooden beams and a skylight.

But I thought the most luxurious part of the Hermosa Inn was the sprawling, vibrant garden lining the pathways from the lobby to each casita.

Cacti, succulents, palm trees, and colorful flower beds next to stone fountains were planted on pebble islands perfectly curved in the middle of trimmed, rich green grass.

It looked like a scene from a fairytale.

The Phoenician was an exclusive mega-resort with top-tier amenities, including a five-star spa and a golf club surrounded by mountain views.

My stay at the Phoenician screamed luxury from the start.

As my cab entered the 600-acre property's winding road, I spotted giant fountains, sculptures, and an 18-hole golf course. I had to confirm my reservation with a security guard before we got to the main building, which made the resort feel exclusive.

In addition to the 645 rooms, the mega-resort had every amenity to make tourists feel like VIPs, from a five-star spa to luxury car rentals.

The luxury Marriott Hotel also had five pools — one for adults only — and an athletic club with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts.

There were so many high-end activities and experiences that I thought affluent tourists could spend an entire vacation just at the resort and have a lavish time.

Both had award-winning restaurants on site.

The Phoenician has eight bars and restaurants. Three of them, J&G Steakhouse, Mowry & Cotton, and the lobby bar Thirsty Camel, have won multiple awards from sources like Open Table, Forbes Travel Guide, and Trip Advisor, according to the hotel's website .

Meanwhile, the Hermosa Inn has just one restaurant and bar, LON's. Food & Wine Magazine named it 2022's most romantic restaurant in Arizona. It has also made Open Table's list of the best brunch menus in the US for four years.

From the Phoenician, I spotted Paradise Valley's mountain-side estates.

From the edge of the hotel's golf course, I spotted multimillion-dollar estates situated on Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley.

BI previously reported that Arizona's wealthiest residents live in Paradise Valley, from celebrities to billionaires. The median home listing price is $5.5 million, according to Realtor.com . The most expensive home on the market is also the highest-priced in the state — listed at $75 million .

Shackelton says Paradise Valley is more expensive than Scottsdale due to property size and location.

"Paradise Valley's closer to Phoenix, and the lot sizes are bigger," she told BI. "Some people that live in that area need to be close to the Biltmore in Phoenix, which is considered the financial district here."

Business travelers move to Paradise Valley for easy access to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which is just 20 minutes away, she added. Others move there for privacy.

"When you get up into the higher price points, many of the houses in Paradise Valley are individually gated," Shackeltoon said. "Some like the feeling of being their own private estate."

There were more mega-mansions in North Scottsdale. Some looked like castles.

The most expensive neighborhood in Scottsdale is DC Ranch. And I got an exclusive tour of the 4,400-acre community that has an average listing price of $3.5 million, according to Realtor.com .

It felt like a private small town with four villages, including Silverleaf , the most exclusive in the neighborhood where the priciest listing in Scottsdale is located — a $54 million estate.

In Silverleaf, I spotted some of the swankiest homes I've ever seen, with estates comprised of multiple buildings, extravagant gardens, and private, walled driveways. They reminded me of European castles.

Senior communications manager Elizabeth Dankert, who gave me the tour, said many of these mansions are custom homes.

Here, streets were gated with 24-hour guards.

In all four villages, many of the streets were gated. And according to the DC Ranch website , they have 24-hour guards.

Many other North Scottsdale neighborhoods have the same high level of privacy and security, including Desert Mountain and WR Estates .

The same neighborhood had fancy street signs.

While driving through each village, I noticed that the style of the street signs varied. Dankert said that each village boasts a unique look for its signage.

Unsurprisingly, the signage in the most expensive village looked fancier than the others, with metal swirls and a serif font.

Residential amenities were similar to what you'd at a luxury hotel.

DC Ranch has three clubs with high-end amenities that reminded me of my stay at the Phoenician.

DC Ranch Village Health Club & Spa has a gym, group fitness classes, multiple pools, a day spa with a salon, and massage and facial services.

The other two are private golf clubs — the Country Club and the Silverleaf Club. In addition to 18-hole courses surrounded by mountains and desert terrain, these communities have tennis, pools, fitness centers, and restaurants, according to the neighborhood's website .

The Silverleaf Club, home to a championship golf course, also has a world-class spa.

I got an inside look at the Country Club and spotted a sign that said "dress code enforced" — a golf club tradition phased out in many areas to appeal to millennials on a budget .

But the tradition remains in several Scottsdale golf clubs. At the Country Club, adults and children aren't allowed to wear t-shirts, short shorts or skirts, athletic wear, or tank tops (unless they're tailored and specifically designed for tennis or golf), according to the club's website .

I spotted members in collared shirts, golf shorts, and tennis skirts during my visit.

From the top of the most expensive neighborhood in Scottsdale, I spotted one of the most popular airports in the US where the ultra-wealthy park their private jets.

I had a view of the city at the top of DC Ranch in Silverleaf.

Dankert pointed out that the large tarmac in the distance was Scottsdale Airport, one of the most popular places in the US for the ultrawealthy to park their private jets .

Shackelton said many of her clients move to DC Ranch to be close to their personal aircraft, which is only 20 minutes away.

While sampling Scottsdale's fine dining scene, I went to a steakhouse with a pool purely for ambiance.

I wanted to see how the wealthy dine in Scottsdale, so I went to Dominick's, a world-class steakhouse with a wide variety of menu items, from dry-aged steaks to fresh seafood flown in from around the world daily, according to the restaurant's website .

When I made a reservation, I selected the rooftop dining room. It epitomized luxury. Tables with white cloths and cushy leather chairs lined the edges of a pool with a retractable glass roof above. The pool was a dramatic centerpiece I'd never seen in a restaurant.

Owner Jeff Mastro told BI that the pool is not for swimming — it's only decorative.

"It was built as an amenity to the dining experience, something special that you don't see every day," he said. "This is the most requested dining room at Dominick's."

I thought it looked big enough to swim from my seat, but Mastro said it was only 12 inches deep.

"The pool was designed for a beautiful aesthetic and the allure of poolside dining," he added.

As a solo traveler , I typically dine alone with a book to pass the time between courses. But at Dominnick's, I was amazed by the room itself. It certainly made the upscale restaurant feel like a unique dining experience.

In just 48 hours, I got a taste of the lavish desert lifestyle outside of Phoenix.

From private, stylized neighborhoods to renowned hotels and private jet parking, it was easy for me to see why the ultra-wealthy live and vacation here.
