5.00This tour was everything! Our tour guide, Jim, was so much fun and a wealth of knowledge from the restaurants we dined at to the area and its history. The food was amazing and included a diverse assortment of flavors without being too over the top. The trolley ride was a different but very fun experience and being able to visit the actual trolley station for a behind the scenes look and tour was also cool. This was my first time visiting Dallas and I did the tour solo and absolutely recommend it as a great way to meet and connect with new people while exploring such a beautiful and amazing city while diving into its history and exploring so many amazing foods! I highly recommend and will be checking out the other tours along my travels :)
Absolutely Amazing

5.00First of all I want to give a shout out to the sweetest tour guide ever, Annabella, she was so knowledgeable about every place we ate giving us the history and details of the foods we would be eating. The food was excellent at every stop and we definitely got full! Annabella even bought birthday candles at our last stop to put a candle on my daughter's bakery item so we could sing Happy Birthday!!! This was a first food tour for us and well worth every penny!!!
Delicious Food and a Great Guide!

5.00I bought tickets for my mom and I for her birthday. It was a great experience even for us who have been living in this area for 5 years. We had a variety of options at restaurants that we haven’t tried before, but will definitely be returning. Veronica was very informative and friendly!
