YOUR TOUR GUIDES
Elysa Crum
Owner & Tour Guide
Elysa Crum, originally from New York, is a longtime Tucson resident. Her passion for food, education and an appreciation of Tucson’s culture and history inspired her to create Taste of Tucson Downtown in 2014. With the revitalization of Downtown, including an influx of new offices, housing, restaurants and the modern streetcar, this was the time to encourage people to come downtown. Taste of Tucson Downtown Food Tours began offering people the perfect way to experience Tucson like a local through food, culture and an afternoon of exploration. Book a tour today and see why we love what we do and why Tucson is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy!
