5.00Alexis was our tour guide and she did a FANTASTIC job bringing us around Austin. It was earlier in the morning and freezing when we went and her upbeat personality and personable attitude made us completely forget about the winter weather. The food itself was great and I really appreciate that all the places visited were local to Austin and mostly small businesses to supporting local, great eats was a huge plus. Great way to get your steps in, eat some good food, and meet wonderful people. Thank you Alexis!!
Great food.

5.00This was a very fun food tour in downtown Austin! Zachary was our tour guide and was friendly, fun and full of knowledge about the city! He made sure that food restrictions were accommodated and respected. A word of advice - go hungry! The portions are regular sized and we stopped at 6 places for food so it adds up and we were really full at the end. Highly recommend this food tour with Zachary!
This visit was amazing, the food was great as well. Our guide Jack, again, was fantastic and made it fun and memorable.

5.00A family of 4 foodies we truly had a great experience with Jack. Very experienced and well knowledged, he brought humor and fun to this experience. We truly enjoyed all aspects of this tour and is was accommodating to anyone with allergies, or dietary restrictions as well. I truly believe this was worth every penny. We also had another wonderful family with us on our tour which felt like family. 10 out of 10!
Foodie Fun! We want to do it again and explore the area more!

We wished we had another few days in our vacation to go back to explore the area more! Terrific experience and tour! Amazing food and drinks too!
