Our team had a great time on this tour. The menu was diverse and super filling, and Zachary was a fantastic guide. He shared stories and background not only of the food, but the city itself as we walked from location to location. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone!

I booked this tour for a company event, and Peter definitely made it a great experience! We loved learning about the history of Austin through its architecture and (best of all) its food! Would definitely recommend it as a way to learn more about the city. Peter was knowledgeable, funny, and very kind.

Pola was our guide and gave our team an amazing experience. Not only taking us to amazing dining locations throughout Austin, but also explaining the history of the food, the establishment, and the city. Overall it was an unforgettable experience

My team recently hired Secret Tours to do a private walking tour as a team-building activity on a trip to Austin. We had such a wonderful afternoon with Pola! She expertly answered all of our (many) questions, gave us tips and tricks on things to look for and try later, and overall, made sure that we were well-fed and hydrated. We were also able to go at a slightly-off time, and had many of the restaurants to ourselves, which just made the experience more special. We later saw lines out the door of many of the establishments we visited. By the end of the tour, Pola could've been a member of team - absolutely recommend, and highlight of our trip.

AJ was a wonderful guide offering us lots of interesting information. The food was great! His personality and knowledge made this tour the highlight of our Austin visit. If you are thinking of booking this tour, ask for AJ!

Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon before a week long conference in Austin. Leon was a really friendly and knowledgeable guide

So how do long time Austinites get a clue on latest food trends downtown?? By going on the secret food tour! ;) We even learned some things about Austin along the way. The food was awesome and we were very full at the end. Come hungry. Had a great time.

Zachary was AMAZING! He gave us just the right amount of details about the delicious food we were eating with a mix of history of the city, and of course some other secrets about Austin! I won’t share all Zachary’s secrets but our group was glad to learn about the second wave of bats that fly under the Congress Ave bridge and the Floppy Disk Repair Shop which we visited later that evening. This is a great way to enjoy the city and try some amazing food! Oh and the upgraded drink package is a must! One of my favorite things we did during our four day stay in Austin!
