SEE ITINERARY
We'll meet outside of Fareground, downtown Austin's beautifully modern food hall.
First up, you'll dig into some Central Texas pit-style BBQ brisket served with the best pinto beans ever.
Next, you'll enjoy a breakfast taco, a local favourite with a cult-like following.
On our stroll, we'll say "howdy" to Willie Nelson, an Austin icon, and pass by where Austin City Limits is held.
Afterwards, we will stop at one of our favorite food trucks for a secret bite– a fusion dish that will blow your mind.
Then it's time for a cool down with a smoothie made with local Texas wildflower honey.
After several great bites, we'll take a stroll down Congress Ave to see and talk about some of our protected historic buildings.
As if you weren’t already full, we are right back where we started to sample a local handheld savory pastry from an eatery inside an Austin Modern Food Hall once known as a Bank Office.
And finally, we'll round things out with a flan-inspired creation made just for our tour!

I am traveling with my family, is the tour ok for infants/children?

Our tours provide our customers with a lot of food. Trust us, you will not need to eat a meal after our food tour!
Where do I add my discount voucher?
I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?
Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.
Is there a lot of walking?
To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 45 minutes of walking but it's not too difficult and there are no hills or stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.
How many people max are on this tour?
We take 12 people maximum. If you are more than 12 people, please do not hesitate to email us and will try to see if we can accommodate.

What if it rains or I change my plans?
Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Austin. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.
Can I pay the tour in cash?
You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.
Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
