We had a great experience...

Briahna_M, Jan 2025

We had a great experience on the food tour and we enjoyed every restaurant. Adrian was our tour guide and gave us the history for each place and gave great recommendations. We were able to choose something else from the menu if we wanted, which isn't always an option on other food tours. This was a highlight of our trip.

Thumbs up to the taco tour!

Kim_J, Sep 2023

We had a wonderful time on the taco tour. The food was great. Different at each stop. We got to see a mural that is animated if you look through an app. Roy and Alex were wonderful! Great guides! I walk with a cane. They were very thoughtful, parking by curbs to make it easier for me to climb in the van. All around good day!
