“We did the private tour option which was expensive, but we got to go at our own pace and have an experience with the tour guide.

“It was great. Took us to fun places (not just the restaurants). Zachary was a wonderful guide. He had so much knowledge about the area and the restaurants and history. He also had a great sense of humour which made the tour even more fun. Food was really good. Went to 2 taco places, however, they were both very different. I would highly recommend the tour if you want to experience downtown Austin.”

“Tons of good food! Don’t eat breakfast! This will be breakfast lunch and dinner. Cody was really informative and the van was super comfortable and new. There were lines of people at every stop and we just sat down and Cody delivered us our food from the five different places. That was a real plus not having to wait. Would highly recommend this tour. My 86 year old aunt liked it and was able to handle it, but my brother loved it, saying he couldn’t believe how good all the food was here in Texas.”
