The food we tried was all so good and felt like we had a great taste of Austin. Our tour guide was Sohail and he was very knowledgeable and fun!

Great Food Tour of Austin Downtown. Our guide was very personable and she had amazing energy. We visited several restaurant and had more than adequate portions. The food choices were varied and relevant to the area. The tour was a full 3 hours. The tour works well for a single traveler, couples and families.

Alexis was an amazing tour guide. Accommodated specific dietary needs, treated us to a lot of amazing food especially Cooper’s BBQ. Our food stops were incredible. Very tasty and the history of the city was very good too.
We loved reading your feedback! It’s always a pleasure hearing when guests enjoy the tour as much as you did. We’d be delighted to host you again with Secret Food Tours.
Good experience overall. Our guide was late by 30 minutes. She said she had a personal emergency. Completely understandable and no worries. She was a bit over the top. Could tone things down a bit and still be a great guide. Loved Alexis just almost too much Alexis. Would have enjoyed a bit more focus on an overview of Austin, culture and history. We’ve been on a few Secret food tours worldwide
We truly appreciate you choosing to spend part of your time with us. It's wonderful to know the tour left an overall positive impression. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Our Tour Guide Alexis was so amazing so bubbly and down to earth and a wonderful person the experience was incredible it was my first one I was very impressed. Admission fee was a little high but for what you get it’s well worth it it, we did only half the tour because I mom has MS and our Tour guide was very accommodating to us and tried to find all shorter routes and even put in and asked her manger if could get a share ride. But over all the whole visit was amazing and the food was out of this world! And hey I tried something I never thought I would a faffle, it was good! If you book one of these tours I hope get Alexis she is so amazing
We loved having you with us. Your kind words are a wonderful reflection of what we hope every guest enjoys. We'd be delighted to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours!
Guide was great, very knowledgeable and passionate about Austin and the local food scene. Walking was not strenuous, but there are some stairs to navigate.
Thank you for your review! Your kind words mean a great deal to our team. We look forward to sharing another city with you through Secret Food Tours.
Alexis Reeves was an excellent guide. She pointed out architecture highlights of our walk, ensured that everyone was comfortable and welcomed. She kept a good walking pace and asked for feedback as we went along. I highly recommend this tour with Alexis.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's wonderful to know everything came together so well for you. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Decent to good food served by the establishments with attentive service. Minimal historical information provided.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Knowing that everything came together positively overall is great to hear. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
A good mix of bbq and Tex mex food samples. I thought the stops could have been ordered differently. Our tour met at 11;00am. IMHO the breakfast burrito stop should have been the first stop with the bbq later. Our tour guide was a local with a good knowledge of the city. The tours covered several mostly flat city blocks and was an easy walk.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted that your tour was an enjoyable part of your trip overall. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
