On our Secret Food Tour: San Antonio, you'll discover a picturesque foodie oasis that winds its way through the heart of Texas' second largest city.
Our experienced guides will take you on a foodie adventure through bustling Downtown San Antonio, an area steeped in more than 300 years of history and heritage! On your journey, you'll sample an array of handmade hispanic specialties at family-owned businesses and see where the locals eat while avoiding chain restaurants and tourist traps. Throughout the experience, you'll learn firsthand what "Tex-Mex" actually is while enjoying it in the city in which it originated while also being enchanted by local landmarks such as San Fernando Cathedral, the River Walk, and the Alamo along the way. In fact, we're pretty sure that you'll remember more than that storied building by the time your journey is complete!

What more can I say? Secret Food Tours knocked it out of the park in San Antonio! Laura was an incredible guide with a deep knowledge and love for her city. Her passion for the history, people, and food of San Antonio would be hard to match. Additionally, her love for the local art was a wonderful touch on an already fantastic tour. The food was delicious and selected from local establishments, each with a story rooted in San Antonio history. Abosulutely come hungry for this tour as you will be full very quickly. All in all, 100% would recommend this tour!

A good way to see San Antonio sites and get your downtown bearings. The bites were at well chosen spots. And the food was quite good. Michael was an excellent guide. Communication before the tour regarding logistics was very helpful.

A lot of walking, which was fine for us; although for some it might be too much. Really good food. Scott was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating.

Alan-Michael was a fantastic host, he was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about not only the foods but the city. All of the dishes we tried were delicious and the portion sizes were so much that we were stuffed by the end of the tour. It was a great way to spend the day!
