Full description

Skip the tourist traps and get to know the real Austin foodie scene with a local guide, in this 3-hour tour of Austin.

Austin’s city slogan ‘Keep Austin Weird’ is a great way to describe the diverse range of delicious food that you will sample on this tour.

Visit six unique stops in the historic city center. You will try dishes dating back to the Aztec days, and you will learn about the influence these traditional dishes have on modern Austin cuisine.

You will also taste contemporary Austin dishes that have been influenced by cuisine from all over the world and that shape the modern flavors of this modern metropolis.

We'll meet outside of Fareground, downtown Austin's beautifully modern food hall.

First up, you'll dig into some Central Texas pit-style Bbq brisket served with the best pinto beans ever.
Next, you'll enjoy a breakfast taco, a local favourite with a cult-like following.

On our stroll, we'll say "howdy" to Willie Nelson, an Austin icon, and pass by where Austin City Limits is held.
Afterwards, we will stop at one of our favorite food trucks for a secret bite– a fusion dish that will blow your mind.
Then it's time for a cool down with a smoothie made with local Texas wildflower honey.

After several great bites, we'll take a stroll down Congress Ave to see and talk about some of our protected historic buildings.

As if you weren’t already full, we are right back where we started to sample a local staple food truck turned brick and mortar.

And finally, we'll round things out with a flan-inspired creation made just for our tour!
