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!

We recently took a Secret Food Tour with our guide Laura, a San Antonio native. From the moment we met her, she brought warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm for the city’s culinary and art scene. She wove stories of the cities history, vibrant culture, and hidden gems into every bite we took. Each tasting was better than the last and thoughtfully curated. Whether you’re a foodie or just hungry for an authentic slice of San Antonio, you couldn’t ask for a better guide than Laura.

Confirm the travel guide day before. Ask for a telephone number. Our tour guide called in sick - we didn’t get this news until 1/2 hour after tour was supposed to start. Understand it happens some time….but seriously?? Company when we contacted by email immediately returned our money. Wasn’t really the point tho. The tel number Viator gave us was for someone that used to work for the food company - he was extremely professional and answered my texts!! He doesn’t even work for them.

Great guide, very friendly and personable. We were a group of 5 including a baby in a stroller and my 82 year old mother. Everyone in the group was patient and helpful (we had to carry heavy stroller up and down stairs) The food was good. It wasn’t the food listed on the website. Several people in our group came late and had to catch up with us. I would recommend the site mentioning that people should arrive 15 minutes before scheduled departure. That way this won’t be an issue. I knew to show up early because I’ve taken other tours. They’re doing road construction around the area so it was a bit difficult parking and walking back to car. All in all, I recommend this tour. It’s not good for older people in the heat, we sent my my to the car in an uber because it was too much for her to walk back.
