WHY HAVE WE CHOSEN HOUSTON DOWNTOWN

We have chosen Houston Downtown because it is the heart of this vibrant city, where time comes alive at the iconic Clock Tower—a timeless emblem that beckons exploration.

Our adventure begins with a visit to the ancient City Hall, now known as Market Square. This historical site serves as a treasure trove of tales, resonating with the echoes of Houston's past through its architecturally rich design. Here, history and the present entwine, transforming the surroundings into a lively market square, teeming with energy, culture, and the essence of the city's diverse heritage.

As we journey through the vibrant streets, vivid graffiti murals come to life, adorning the walls with their tales of creativity.

Houston's Downtown boasts a diverse culinary scene, and our tour promises to tantalize your taste buds with a sampling of this rich diversity.

Due to the nature of creating a well-balanced and thoughtful gastronomy experience, many of our tours are unable to accommodate children. Please contact us at [email protected] prior to booking your tour to see if we are able to accommodate your family.

I don't drink alcohol. Can I book your tour?

This is not a problem. Just inform our guide before the tour starts.

Is there enough food during your tour?

Think of the tour as a tasting menu. As we travel you get many delicious treats that comprise a meal with dessert. But there is a lot of food, you will not be hungry after the tour.

Where do I add my discount voucher?

I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do. We cannot promise but we will try our best to sort something out for you.

Is there a lot of walking?

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes.

There will be approximately 26 minutes of total walking, but it is not too difficult and is broken up between food stops. During the duration of the tour we will walk about a mile. Our guide walks at the pace of the tour members, you will never be rushed. If the weather seems too hot, or too rainy, our guides are ready to navigate the famous Houston’s undeground tunnels to reach any place they like(if that is open).

We take 12 people maximum. If you are more than 12 people, please do not hesitate to email us and we will try to accommodate you.

You do not have to print your voucher. A confirmation on your phone will be fine!

If I purchase a voucher as a gift, or am given a voucher how long is it valid for?

All of our vouchers expire one year from the date of purchase.

Can I choose my own cheese and meat?

Our guide will take care of everything. Should you wish to try something special, please inform our guide and they will do their best to make you happy.

Where does your food come from?

The food and drinks are top-quality, fresh and local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Houston. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel and we cannot run the tour due to extreme weather for more info see our Terms and Conditions.

Can I pay the tour in cash?

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
