The tour stops at 3 local breweries where knowledge is shared and beer consumed. Our last stop had a food truck where one can purchase food (and I'd recommend one do). They also provide a bag of local sweet pretzels. These are pretty tasty, but no substitute for real food. It's a great way to meet some new friends (at least temporarily). A little pricey, but a good time.

I also added the beverage option with our reservations.* This was our first time visiting Austin, Texas and we thought this would be a good way to learn about it. We were not disappointed. Benjamin was our tour guide. He was at all times prompt, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about Austin and the wonderful restaurants he was showcasing. The foods we tasted were fresh and delicious! Our drink option included alcoholic drinks, but a couple of us requested "mocktails" instead and Benjamin was happy to accommodate our request. Each food and drink were perfectly paired. Benjamin also pointed out the history and sights around Austin and our walk was at a comfortable pace. Greatly enjoyed our afternoon and we highly recommend Secret Food Tours Austin. * I am glad I booked two weeks ahead of our stay. While there are a lot of slots available, most of them were already booked!

Since this was my first trip to Austin, we decided to book a food tour to familiarize ourselves…read morewith the Downtown area and get some tasty treats along the way. We had a group of six plus our tour guide, Zack. Before we started, he let us know what our itinerary was for the day which included six different meal items during a three hour tour. (Cue Gilligan Island theme song). We walked around the Fareground food hall before going to our first stop at Veracruz for migas tacos, which are breakfast tacos stuffed with scrambled eggs, tortilla chips, onions, jalapenos and cheese. This was my first migas tacos so it was a great way to start our tour. We walked along the Congress Street bridge and Zack told us about activities around the river and told us about the different sections of Austin. As we walked, he would point out landmarks in downtown where we could find live music, comedy clubs, speakeasies and karaoke. Our second stop was at Cooper's Barbecue, where we got to enjoy amazing brisket along with beans and sweet tea. Zack also gave us instructions on how to order and the proper etiquette when ordering for barbecue joints. After eating such a heavy meal, we walked around quite a bit before our next stop for refreshing smoothies. Our fourth stop was to enjoy Tacos El Pastor. We made a complete circle and made it back to the Fareground food court for our last two items. The fifth item of the day were pork arepas, and we finished off our tour with caramel cheesecakes. The amount and quantity of the food we received was above and beyond what I expected. I've been to numerous food tours where the food was sometimes lacking. That was not the case with our tour. I loved the ease in which Zack told us about different locations and shared with us his favorite spots in Austin. I think a group of six was just the perfect size to be able to leisurely do the walking tour . We enjoyed getting to know the two couples on the tour with us. I would highly recommend Secret Tours and Zach specifically.

He has a lot of options that will work for any occasion. For our group we had a certain set of things we wanted to accomplish and Michael put together a custom experience for us that 100% delivered. Michael is fun, knowledgeable and professional. He was prepared with anything we could have asked for and when we asked for an audible he was able to accommodate with zero problems. I think it's also worth mentioning that his bus is immaculate, new and comfortable. That's a big deal when you spend a couple days traipsing around TX. Highly recommend Michael and Native Experience for your Austin adventures.

He walks you around downtown (6th street and over to the Moody Theater where they air Austin City Limits) before driving you across the Lady Bird Lake into South Austin to see some sights that are too far to walk. All along the way he shows you key venues explaining their history, plays you music, shows you poster art, tells you about the history of the local music and film scene, shows you key music sculptures, and is generally a nice soul with which to spend time. I'm sure I wasn't the most well-informed music fan that has taken the tour but he generously shared his encyclopedic knowledge without making me feel foolish. I'll add that I was a woman traveling alone and the only one on the tour that morning. It wasn't at all awkward or strange. I'd encourage everyone to take this tour.

Kenneth was a great tour guide, giving us information about each of the breweries we went to. He also sat with us at each location and it was cool getting to know him.

Apparently it's become a tradition that we do a brewery tour when we travel…read more One of the breweries I was told I MUST visit, while in Austin, was Jester King. Searched online for brewery tours that included this and finally decided on Austin Brewery Tours. Almost daily tours, online booking was so easy, and we got a reminder, a couple of days earlier to our tour, via email. Tour starts at noon. Meetup time was 11:30am. At around 11:25am the van was there. Out comes Shane, owner and tour guide. He immediately introduced himself, thanked us for being on time and proceeded to ask us our names and where we were from. Once the other people taking the tour arrived, we were all introduced and in the van we went. During the time we were driving, he would ask us questions to get to know us better, and see the style of beers we liked. He also gave us an intro of each of the breweries we would visit. He made the time driving pass by fast and welcomed all questions we could have. At each of the breweries, he explained the process and what we had included in the price of the tour. At Jester King, they even had a special release and he bought a sample of each (which was not included in the price but he gifted us with it) making sure we had the complete experience. You can tell he enjoys doing these tours and meeting the people. He even took us to Revolution - which was in front of one of the breweries we visited - to try locally made flavored gin. So greateful he allowed us to do this quick stop - this was delicious, and gave me the opportunity to talk more with one of the ladies on the tour, exchanging ideas on recipes with the gin we had just tried. Shane is grate at incorporating everyone in the tour and conversations. He allows you plenty of time to enjoy each brewery and every beer you choose. He is now friends with the staff at each of these breweries, which works on the advantage of everyone in the tour since we got excellent/ friendly service at each stop. Best part of this all, is you meet new people, get to enjoy all the beer you can drink, and don't have to drive. Great way to spend a day in Austin. If looking for a beer tour, look no further, this is it!

The bus is decked in twinkly lights and party regalia inside, and the best part? There's a full on three piece band crouched up front, instruments and all! The trio (guitar, drums, bass) regaled us with cover tunes and requests all along the way -- I still don't know how the drummer kept his rhythm on a swaying bus --- and a great time was had by all. Along the way a tour guide named Tex shouted out Austin trivia when the band took breaks, keeping us all engaged. If you're in a group that's visiting from out of town, it's not a bad way to check out Austin.
