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
My husband and I are new to the Dallas area and thought this would be a great way to experience great food and get to know the city. Shanae was a wonderful tour guide! She was easy to get along with, funny, hospitable, and knowledgeable about both the food and the city. The food was great...we went to 3 restaurants and also a great local spice store. I would definitely enjoy doing another tour through this company in another part of town!
So much fun / great food and amazing tour guide. Loved learning more about the history and current eclectic art scene. Food tastings for all tastes - hard to pick a favorite spot. I would visit each again.
Hey Kim! Thank you so much for your wonderful review; we’re so glad you had such a great time on the tour and enjoyed both the food and the chance to learn more about the local history and art scene. It’s always a treat when we can showcase the diverse tastes of Dallas, and it sounds like we hit the mark with a variety of stops. We're thrilled to hear you'd visit each place again! We hope to see you on another delicious tour soon—if you’re in the area again and looking for another fun experience, we currently have several holiday light tours running. It could be a great way to explore Dallas in a new, festive light while enjoying some delicious food along the way!
Veronica was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. The walking part was manageable with many highlights of Deep Elum.
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.
The local vibe was definitely felt which is what we wanted. The food was good and guide was knowledgeable
After paying $85 per person and being told we were going to be full - this was an absolute joke. We truly felt like we were being punked. We had one small piece of cheese pizza (shared by 6 people), some string beans shared (cost $8) a tiny flat potato dish (shared by 6 people at $8 on the menu) and a 3 inch beef taco. We visited a nice bakery halfway in for a few bite size treats-but the lack of protein and volume of food was very misleading. (Ad says 4 stops and we had 3)Only when we mentioned the lack of protein, we were offered a second taco---but otherwise the assumption was that this was enough food. Or were we able to ask for more food to be ordered along the way but no one ever said that or offered? A beer at $13 (not part of the $85) and Margarita at $17 is also very surprising. You can't just order your drinks and pay for them separately. Luckily we were able to laugh about sharing this terrible experience together on the drive home and I told everyone at church the next day with pictures and got equal shock and laughs. I am compelled to submit this review because people need to know exactly what they are getting into before paying this amount (when you can get a much nicer actual dinner at a lot of restaurants in Dallas for this amount of money) and spending their time. UPDATE: The owners reached out and apologized and are making it right.
Veronica was the best! Second only to the food. I had a great time and would highly recommend. I found this tour last minute and count myself very lucky. Next time I am in Dallas, I will seek out Veronica for another tour.
Thank you for sharing such kind words and taking the time to leave us this lovely review! We're so glad you had a fantastic time on your food tour and that Veronica made the experience even more special. It’s always rewarding when last-minute plans turn into unforgettable memories! We can’t wait to welcome you back next time you’re in Dallas to explore even more of the city’s amazing flavors and stories. There is always more deliciousness to try!
Veronica was thoughtful, funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable! And of course the food selection was great 👍
I have done a lot of food tours in my time. This one was very good, but we only visited three eateries and for the money I was really expecting four stops. With all the choices in Deep Ellum, I think this would be a great tweek.
