We visited a couple of restaurants that have multiple locations in DFW, so wasn't great for us locals, as we didn't get to try new places. The tour guide was great, though, and we got to see a lot of great art around Deep Ellum

Great Food Tour

Veronica was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. The walking part was manageable with many highlights of Deep Elum.

Disappointing

Orit_L, Oct 2024

The guide was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood but we signed up for a food tour. The food was basic and not exciting at all. We were 4 people and had one pizza, one small hummus plate, fries with cheese and bacon, and a taco at the end. I feel that for 99$ I paid the food should have been more upscale and not this basic. I would not recommend anyone to go on this tour.

Hidden Local Gems

Average tour

Travis_B, Jan 2024

Standard tour. I thought they could have picked better places to eat. Hattie B’s was good. The others I could leave. Wasn’t incredibly memorable.

Excellent

Christina_S, Nov 2023

I’ve never done a food tour before and this was a great experience! I loved getting to try a little of everything from the restaurants. Our tour guide, Veronica, was entertaining and knowledgeable about the area. I loved being in Deep Ellum and experiencing some authentic food from the area. I highly recommend this food tour!

First visit to Deep Ellum

The actual walk thru Deep Ellum was the most memorable part of the tour. Our tour guide was personable and enthusiastic which made the tour a bit more enjoyable. We did like the food we tasted but the dishes we received were pretty basic and not that exciting. The price of the tour should have provided more food variety and at least drinks. After walking around and seeing the various restaurants, it seems like there could be a better representation of foods in the area. Also, each stop we made felt a bit rushed. Overall we wouldn't recommend tour to others.
