    A food tour, or culinary tour, is a professionally guided tour of the local food and beverage scene. Food tours are designed to introduce you to the history and traditions of a people through their food culture. They can be a great way to get a taste for local ingredients, as well as to learn the history and culture of the region.

    Austin Food tours involve walking around a neighborhood, going into shops and restaurants to try various foods, and hearing both about the foods themselves and how they fit into the city's culture. They are often a smaller group of people, but also tend to cost more.

    Food tours can include food and beverage tastings related to a theme. They can also be thought of as "pub crawls for restaurants".

    The nature and duration of the tour will vary.

    “I just finished the San Jacinto Street food tour. What a great time! We went to 5 different restaurants and tasted all the different cuisines from the best Austin restaurants. Our guide, Anna, was fun to be with and she had great stories about all of the restaurants we visited. The food was excellent at each stop. I am a Travel Consultant and plan to recommend this tour to all of my clients who visit Austin. You have to do this tour when visiting Austin!” – Pam
