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!

The good: tons of great food and David was awesome. He provided lots of info and was very energetic and fun. It was very difficult to find there starting point and we spent 30 mins getting no help from Viator. Great tour. Lots of food. Only 5 stops for food not 6. David made it the best.

This was a wonderful food tour. We like to take a tour the first day of our trip to get some history and the lay of the land. Scott did not disappoint! His love for San Antonio is so apparent and he took us places and showed us art that we would never have seen on our own. The tour was well paced - really like that we would have some food and then walk and learn about the history of SA before eating again. It was a great way to do a food tour - and the food was great! Highly recommend!

Alan immediately knocked it out of the with the best fresh tortilla we have ever had. I will be honest, we have been on food tours before and I hoped this tour would go well but honestly every place he brought us to was spectacular! He was very personal, knowledgeable and absolutely spot on with San Antonio tid bits and food. Thanks again. Ask for Alan, you can’t go wrong…
