The food options and our tour guide Zachary made this a spectacular experience. Zachary was personable, engaging, entertaining, and knowledgeable. The tour was intriguing and well-paced. It offered a wonderful variety of food and plenty of it. We didn’t eat the rest of the day. This tour is a must when you’re in Austin. Hopefully, you’ll be lucky enough to have Zachary as your guide.

We really enjoyed our tour guide and our group! It was both enlightening and satisfying. We didn’t remain at one spot too long and we truly loved all the food! The amusing thing is that the day before, we went to one of the barbecue restaurants. At the time, we enjoyed the food and with the group, we discovered a lot about the restaurant. Thank you! Without a doubt, we would use this tour in a different city.

Throughout the trip, Denise enthusiastically engaged with every one of us and was a very effective communicator. Four savory and two sweet downtown locations were accessible to us. Excellent selection and generous amounts ensure that you won't go hungry. skipping tonight's meal! I loved everything about this tour, and Denise deserves all the credit for our fantastic day today! I wholeheartedly endorse and would gladly take this tour one more. :)

Definitely worth it! Even though I don't particularly enjoy Mexican, Tex-Mex, tacos, or anything else on the menu, everything we ordered was tasty and different, despite my skepticism. When we reached stop 3, we were surprised to see that there were still three stops left. Without a doubt, skip dinner and go hungry! Denise was a fantastic tour guide. She was very attentive, friendly, and engaging, and she took excellent pictures of the group as we traveled. I had such fantastic encounters and would certainly suggest going on this trip!

Dave was an excellent guide. He was interesting and entertaining, and he genuinely wanted to interact with everyone in our group. He seemed genuinely concerned about our enjoyment as a group, in my opinion. Dave was incredibly knowledgeable about the past and current events in Austin. Additionally, he took us to some fantastic food! Our time in Austin was definitely improved!

Excellent cuisine tour, that was! Denise, our tour guide, was a very knowledgable local and an excellent introduction to the area. We always make an effort to take a cuisine tour when we travel since it's a wonderful opportunity to discover a city's personality while also learning about its history and architecture. This one is among the best because the cuisine was delectable, Austin/Texas centered, and really satisfying (we even took some leftovers home!). Highly recommended!

We participated in this culinary tour as Austin locals just for fun. Although we don't come downtown very often, we believed we knew the top spots and had a good enough sense of the neighborhood. As it happens, we had a chance to acquire information. I appreciated that our guide, Angela, made a very public introduction of herself and asked everyone to do the same. This gave me the chance to ask "the next question" as we moved from location to location or as we sampled the sweet or savory pleasures each venue had to offer. I discovered an excellent waterproof backpack manufacturer and Chicago dining options. Angela spent time at each venue letting us take it all in, sharing information at each meal (and in many locations between), and making sure we arrived at our destination on time. We plan to repeat it, despite the fact that we reside in Austin. This time, we'll be sure to ask for Angela.

The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide, Angela, was excellent. A cuisine tour, in my opinion, is a fantastic way to get to know a new city. You get to experience some delectable local cuisine, visit some stunning architecture, and learn about the history! This tour covered all the essential ground to get a genuine experience of Austin cuisine. I was happy I had paid to include the drink package because it made the entire experience better. This is the interactive, interesting, and fun activity you should do while in Austin!

This tour was a well-planned itinerary of several fantastic gourmet sites, and it was a wonderful addition to our Austin visit. The 11 am departure acted as a lunch break spent wandering. Ben has a distinct, resonant voice that is simple to understand and was a 5 star***** guide. He interacted with each person in our party as he revealed his knowledge of the regional culinary tradition. We savored a wonderful variety of Austin gastronomic delights! We endorse Secret Food Tours of Austin, and if Benjamin is available to be your tour guide, you can look forward to a really enjoyable mid-day food experience. Success for the Secret Food Tour!

I've been on a few food trips with my spouse, but this one is the best! Despite the fact that I was really sleepy... I still thoroughly enjoyed every meal we had while on this trip. We sampled a total of 6 different dishes, including 2 sweet and 4 savory. In addition to learning about the restaurants we visited, we also stopped at several locations in Austin and learned about those locations' significance. Zach, our tour guide, was extremely informed, competent, and entertaining. His laid-back demeanor made the tour much more fun! In Austin, you must do this!
