2.00Ask before you sign up what restaurants you are going to. Houston has such a great food scene so being dragged from one food hall to another was not representative of what Houston offers. There was also no ordering in advance so one restaurant wasn’t open and we had to wait a long time before others served. The guide was great and did what she could to make it fun with what she had to work with.
Tasty Food, Nice Guide BUT… Lacking on Info!

3.00Hello. We did the Downtown Houston walking food tour with Rosalind. Rosalind was amazing. She was extremely warm, welcoming, friendly, and personable. We enjoyed spending time with her very much. Rosalind gets a 5 star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ However, the actual tour left much to be desired. I have done walking food tours in a few different cities, and they are always filled with a plethora of interesting historical, architectural, cultural, and culinary information. On the Houston tour I was hoping to learn about the history of Houston, how and when the city was established, interesting and important landmarks and features of downtown, etc. Unfortunately there was very little of that type of information provided. Texas is a state so rich with significant history, so I would’ve enjoyed learning about Houston. We did see the park dedicated to the 9/11 victims, which was beautiful. But that was pretty much the only landmark that was shown or discussed. A few murals were pointed out, but very little information was provided. In a city rich with performing and fine arts, I would have loved to learn more about that. The food was delicious and a great variety of samplings, but I would’ve liked to learn more about the restaurants, their histories, their owners, their mark on the city, etc. So while I would love to be able to give the tour 5 stars, I can only give 3 stars until the tour information is expanded. We still enjoyed the day and had a lovely time.
Amazing.
