1.5-Hour Old Town Scottsdale Walking Tour – Explore, Discover & Shop Scottsdale’s Best!

Experience the ultimate way to see Scottsdale — up close, on foot, and through the eyes of a local expert. This 1.5-hour guided walking tour takes you on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, where Western heritage meets modern luxury and every corner tells a story.

Your adventure begins at the Hotel Valley Ho, a mid-century modern icon that once hosted Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and Zsa Zsa Gabor. From there, you’ll stroll through charming historic streets, passing award-winning restaurants such as Craft 64 and The House Brasserie, where Scottsdale’s culinary creativity shines.

At each stop, your guide will share fascinating stories about Scottsdale’s transformation from a sleepy farming community founded by Winfield Scott to one of the most vibrant cultural destinations in the Southwest. You’ll visit the Scottsdale Museum of the West, admire stunning public art installations like the Jack Knife statue, and explore the Scottsdale Civic Center, home to the famous LOVE statue by Robert Indiana and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.

But it’s not all sightseeing — this tour is also your chance to shop and explore! Guests will enjoy time to browse local boutiques, jewelry stores like Sunrise Jewelry, and artisan galleries during a relaxing shopping break. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect souvenir, unique art, or authentic Southwestern craftsmanship, Old Town’s shops offer something for everyone.

The journey wraps up near the iconic “Welcome to Historic Old Town Scottsdale” cowboy sign, where you’ll have the option to continue exploring, grab a drink at the Rusty Spur Saloon, or unwind at one of Scottsdale’s scenic patios. Alternatively, your guide will lead you back to the starting location near the Hotel Valley Ho.

Warm sunshine, local stories, art, history, and boutique shopping — this is Scottsdale at its best.
