Justin was an awesome guide! Fun & knowledgeable
We really enjoyed having you in the group. Every guest brings their own energy to the day, and we were glad to share this one with you. Thank you for spending the time with Secret Food Tours!
2nd time going with Secret Food Tours, so they'd be my go-to now when visiting a new city as we again had a great time. Good range of foods of course, but had a great time with our guide (Luis Carlos) - aside from the usual narration of city history, he also provided lots of good tips and further ideas for our stay in Houston. His overall vibe set a great tone and really enjoyed the interactions with the rest of the group.
Second time is even better than the first, and that means a great deal to us! Knowing we're now your go-to for a new city is exactly the kind of trust we hope to earn. We can't wait to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours, Donal.
