Took a "food is my best friend" tour a few days ago and the overall experience was fantastic. A few friends of mine and I were in the area for an event and just so happen to get out early and have some time to kill. Unfortunately, their website doesn't allow same day booking, but I called and left a message to Jesse, and Rachael returned my call within a few minutes. I explained the situation and she was able to whip up a last minute tour. When there we no guides available, Rachael decided to take it into her own hands to take us around town. She communicated very quickly and was flexible to our needs.
We waited at the meeting point and she promptly picked us up on time. The experience like I said, was fantastic. When Rachael picked us up she was personable and we instantly became friends as opposed to just a guide taking us around. Each food stop we visited had just enough food where we were content, but not so much that we did not want to eat at the next venue.
My main appreciation is how personable the whole experience was. My only gripe, if any, was that the Taco joint didn't serve any beer for us to purchase additionally; but that's not the tour company's fault. I highly recommend the tour if you truly want to see the local flavors Austin has to offer. If you are visiting around November like us, I recommend taking some extra layers to wear. read more
