This is the second Houston Food Tour I have done. Both were great experiences. Absolutely intend to do more.
Each time the food, guides, and other people have made the experiences fun and memorable. I also like the history of the city that you get along the way.

Tour was canceled last minute.
I tried to book on their website 2 weeks prior to my visit to Houston and was not able to. I called the office and they had me 'booked' in. I planned other tours around this one and did not join a NASA tour because I would not be back in time. I did not hear anything about where to meet - so I called the vendor both the night before and in the morning, only to find out that the tour was canceled. They could not find my reservation so they did not contact me. Super disappointing. I was too busy trying to figure out if I was charged through my credit card and never got an explanation of why it was canceled. None the less - this was a disappointing experience.

Great Birthday Ideas!
I absolutely loved this tour experience! I did it for my birthday and I'm so happy I did. It was so much fun, we had a wide selection of foods, and the guide, Christine, was great. She was sweet, down to earth, and knowledgeable. It's definitely a good amount of food. I was so stuffed by the end I couldn't finish certain dishes. I really liked 6 out of 8 of the dishes which I think is a good proportion considering everything was a surprise. I think everyone's least favorite was the last dessert, but it was okay because we had so much yummy food before then. I highly recommend the tour!
