I booked the Secret Food Tours Austin at the recommendation of a family member who had participated…read morein a Secret Food Tour in another city. 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.

We have learned that taking the VIP bus is more our speed. We can have a drink on the bus and the group is usually pretty cool. They are so organized. We arrive at the pickup spot, check in, have a drink and it's all done seamlessly. Hannah was a great bus host. She's spot on keeping us informed where we are and what to do when we arrive. She goes over rules and policies related to being on the river and trespassing rules. They always do a great job and I'll be doing it again next year.

Do not book their rafting tour. Definitely don't be like us and maybe plan your whole trip around…read moreit? We followed all of the instructions, including being ready to check in at 10:30 at BBG's. A group of about 10 of us stayed there until 12pm and called it. Absolutely ridiculous. Multiple phone calls to the tour company with no response. I hate to leave bad reviews but this was so disappointing. We really were looking forward to this, and specifically came to Austin for tubing (versus the other idea for a trip we had which was the beach. In hindsight, we should've flown to California instead. No one would be able to forget us that way.) Other companies had their groups successfully picked up and whisked away by their tour vans. (austin detours was one). We flew here and bought a 12 pack for 2 of us and ended up lugging around cans of beer through downtown Austin for no reason. If our trip was a little bit longer this might be less disappointing. However, I couldn't recommend this company. Unless you wanted to wait an hour for zero reason at all. At least if I booked Austin detours I'd be on the river. It just makes me so sad thinking about the multiple groups of us sitting around at that bar waiting for essentially no reason and no communication. Do not. Book. The river raft.

Loved this! I can't think of a better way to experience food and downtown than through SA Food…read moretours. Our guide was Jordan and he was very knowledgeable about the city as well as the main attraction (for me anyway)...the food! He walked us through downtown San Antonio pointing out places and facts that even I didn't know as a resident. A unique part of the experience was getting to meet some of the chefs, proof that SA Food Tours goes out of their way to create relationships with local restaurants. One stop even gave us a complimentary cocktail! Whether you're from out of town or a local, you'll not want to miss this experience. You might even find a new favorite restaurant out of it! I know I did! (Mine was Ocho )

Book with caution. Our entire trip to San Antonio was…read moreplanned around this restaurant walking tour. I coordinated 4 women's schedules, travel and booked the VRBO. Then 35 days before our planned trip I received a notice that the prepaid event had been cancelled. They offered to reschedule out 30 days further or refund. Four very disappointed women but grateful they didn't cancel the day before the event. Luckily there is a lot to do in San Antonio but its hard to find one common interest between 4 women other than food! Three like to drink, one doesn't. Two like history, two don't. One likes to shop, three dont....back to planning.

We knowingly made the mistake of sitting in a reserved seating area, and Josh kindly approached us and asked us to move. Despite our mistake, he was incredibly gracious, patient, and understanding. He and his staff even allowed us to finish our food before moving and went above and beyond by treating us to dessert afterward. We were the ones in the wrong, and Josh and his team had every reason to handle the situation differently. Instead, they treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality. I really appreciate Josh's understanding and willingness to look past our mistake. It's a great reflection of his character, leadership, and the level of customer service at Terry Black's. Thank you, Josh, and the entire team, for turning a situation we created into such a positive experience. It certainly didn't go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate it!

I ordered the brisket, pork ribs, green beans and creamed corn. The sides were great! I really enjoyed the cream corn, the bite on the greens beans were perfect; although I prefer a little more seasoning. The pork ribs also had a great bite and crust, 8/10. The brisket was good, I just prefer my brisket a little more moist, 6.5/10. Overall I would come back!!
