Had a wonderful time on our food tour. We went to 6 great places (bbq, breakfast taco, pork taco, arepas, juice drink, and cheese cake). We also upgraded to get alcoholic drinks (a craft beer, ranch water, and a cold press martini). All of it was delicious! The tour guide, Pola, was awesome and gave us many hidden facts about the places we went and even interesting landmarks around downtown Austin. Be sure to take photos when you go.

Pola made our tour an amazing trip around Austin. We got to eat amazing staple foods of Austin that are now some of my favorite bites. The variety of drinks paired well with each of our meals. It was great getting to experience Austin this way.
This secret food and drink tour is a must! The food was fantastic. Shaun was a fantastic guide! He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of Austin. His love of the city was a highlight of the tour. He not only gave us all great information about the stops on our tour but he gave us an insider perspective of places we should visit. And we did! We took some of the things that he told us about Austin and ran with it. My husband and I feel that because of Shaun and this tour, we got more out of our vacation than we would have even been able to do on our own. The city didn’t feel so huge and unmanageable.
