How to describe Food Walks of Texas? Fun! I was skeptical at first but, given as a birthday gift, I…read morerolled with it. Three of us met Tall Paul, the owner and tour guide on the square in McKinney Texas. When thinking about starting the business,he and his wife attended a school in Chicago on the subject. Evidently, Chicago is known for food tours. Basically, over a 5 hour period(it was supposed to be 31/2) Paul walked us around old downtown McKinney enlightening us on the history of this lovely North Texas Town and stopping in for small bites and drinks. Our first stop at 11 am on Sunday was an Irish pub! I have to think back a long time to remember when I may have been drinking beer at 11 am on Sunday! I bet 100 years ago people of McKinney would have been up in arms over beer drinking any time on Sunday, especially before church! This is the type of thing that Food Walk and Paul made fun to think about. Our tour wrapped up at a great place with oysters and some lovely mixology drinks. I think if you are open-minded and can roll with it, this may be something different that would expand your horizons. I say, Go!!!

If you're even thinking about doing the Lone Star Food Tour-do it!…read moreFrom the first bite to the final toast, this was one of the best ways to explore the local food scene and get a true taste of Texas Hospitality. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and clearly passionate about both food and local history. We had over 26 corporate leaders attend the tour, and the pacing was just right. We had plenty of time to enjoy each place without feeling rushed or overly stuffed. We also appreciated the behind-the-scenes stories, and the warm welcome received at each stop. Whether you're a local looking for a fun afternoon or a visitor wanting a real Texas experience, the Lone Star Food Tour is a must. Our group left full, happy and ready for the next tour.

We did the "Wine Tasting, Bites, Dessert and Christmas Lights Tour." The tour began at a nice,…read morequality wine tasting room; however, our tour guide was unprepared and provided a self-serve charcuterie board without providing sufficient plates or utensils. From here, we boarded a bus to a singular dessert stop where we got one brownie each in spite of the tour description stating that we would visit "several dessert venues". Once dessert was over, we got back on the bus to see the nice Christmas lights in Highland park. While on the bus, we played some trivia for chocolate prizes (Hershey chocolate kisses) and drank wine provided by the tour (would've been nice if they didn't run out within half an hour). All in all, there is potential in this tour. However, the lack of multiple dessert stops, needing to self-serve the charcuterie, and lack of enough wine caused it to drastically underwhelm for the price point.

Must stop. Great tacos. It's off the beaten pass and you have to stop. Stop in and eat!!!read more

Looking forward to returning for their outdoor concerts in the Fall. We did the tour where we also poured a bottle to take home. Flavor of the month is watermelon. Nice that you can also purchase bottles of their vodka as well as merchandise. Afterwards we went a few miles away to "Over Yonder" for delicious food before heading back to DFW.

I had reserved a tour for 3 (I highly recommend that you do the tour and if you choose to do a tour that you make reservations in advance as they sell out) and initially I did 2 with bottle fills and one tour. The tours come with a ticket for a drink so that was a nice little extra. As the tour started Ryan & Diego (our fabulous guides) gave us some history of how the company started and as well as the process of how the vodka is made. We got to mix our bottle (as we got the lemon) and fill our bottles. We also got to put the caps on the bottle and see how the line works. At the end of the tour, we also got to taste some vodka. After the tour we decided to go get our drinks and the staff inside were just as kind as the staff taking us on the tour. There are so many drink options that I wasn't sure what I wanted as they have so many flavored vodkas. I was told I could sample the vodkas which I was grateful for as it helped me make a decision. My cousin got the raspberry cobbler and the Bloody Mary - the raspberry was sweet but good and I don't like bloody Mary's but I'd drink this one! I got the blueberry lemon, the prickly pear and the front porch . . . All were good to me. When we were there they had some guys playing music inside which was a little loud but sitting on the porch, it was nice to hear. They also had a pizza food truck outside and my cousin said the pizza was really good. If I could make a suggestion to the establishment I would ask them to PLEASE sell flights! Please please please as there were so many drinks that I wanted to try but unless I was gonna sleep in the parking lot I knew I shouldn't but I guess it's also a reason to come back!

It is a great way to meet the locals, see the art and architecture of a city, get recommendations, and in general, get the "lay of the land." We are so glad we found Dallas Bicycle Tours! We had an absolutely glorious afternoon with Heather and Heath on their well-tuned and sized bikes, leisurely pedaling around downtown Dallas, stopping to see points of interest, appreciating the many gorgeous murals throughout the city, and discovering new parks and neighborhoods that we want to go back and explore more fully! Heather and Heath are lovely human beings, curious and engaging...though our ages and backgrounds differ greatly, they made it so comfortable and fun with their open and kind personalities. They focus on safety and on tailoring the ride to the desires of their customers and were open to switching things up to fit our interests. They adjusted quickly to our skill levels, and we are confident that they could meet the needs of any group. They supplied everything we needed, even ice-cold water. Additionally, their rates are reasonable enough that we could do any additional, more expansive tour with them if we were staying in town; we'd jump at the chance if we could! Give Dallas Bicycle Tours a try - You won't be sorry!

We do have the ability to customize the route depending on your needs & abilities. We can rent you one of our own bicycles on request. These will be a mountain bike or a hybrid bike (these are the best types of bikes for Dallas streets). Cycling provides us a way to social distance & be outdoors. Equipment is sanitized between riders. We begin by fitting you on your rental & doing a safety check. You will want to bring your own, $, sunglasses, water & a small fanny-pack or mini backpack if you have items to carry. The tour starts by going through Deep Ellum to the popular Deep Ellum Blues Wall as well as other murals. We will then head to the Trigger Fingers Wall followed by Fair Park. On the way back, we will wind through Downtown Dallas & stop at sites such as the AT&T Discovery District, Dealey Plaza, Dallas City Hall & Pioneer Plaza. We conclude at Farmer's Market & have a beverage with an option to stop for beignets from Le Bon Temps along the way. Photos will be taken along the way & a memory video compiled. There is a restroom on the route.

After having an issue with bed bugs in the past, I clean and check everything in any hotel I stay in. The bathroom is small but the shower works well and clean. The water gets hot. I realize the housekeeping staff have a lot to do and may not get everything done before moving to the next room. Well they did a great job on this room! The room has a microwave & mini fridge. The microwave is pretty loud but it does its job and there is no freezer in the fridge, but it's the standard mini fridge. They both were really clean too! We could hear our neighbors but not clearly so that was a plus too. Finally, although the breakfast looked good, we were not able to sample it this time. The staff were very nice as well. Overall this was a great place to stay.

The fake account didn't last even a day, I see now that it has been deleted and their fake review has been removed. I could say SO MANY terrible things about them right now. But I think the mere fact that they tried such loathsome tactics should be enough insight for you to understand why this business is such a terrible one with which to interact. Save yourself the grief, wasted time, and pure annoyance by avoiding them completely. Note: I do have screenshots of the fake review that they posted and of the bogus message that they sent to me directly. I have yet to determine if I am allowed to post it here on Yelp or not. If not, I'll find somewhere else to post them and then I'll just include the link.
