Do the tour! - The tour was so much fun! Our guide told us the 3 tacos on the tour would be plenty of food and he was RIGHT! We were stuffed and happy by the end with lots of ideas of where to go next. I’m glad we did the tour!

Good eatin' at a good price! - This was a great way to experience some of the different parts of Austin and to get a feel for the unique food culture of the city - and Holden was the perfect guide to lead the charge! We went to two mom-and-pop shops and then something a little more mainstream - this was on the Sunday before Christmas and the last local spot was closed. But I have absolutely NO complaints...I left with an overly full stomach and some good photo ops and possibly a new friend! Good times! Highly recommend!

Wicked tour with Joey - Joey took myself and my fiancé on a breakfast Taco tour from the Tommi hotel. He took us to some of the best spots in Austin and there was a lot of difference in the type of establishment which gave us a good feel for the Tacos available in Austin. Joey went above and beyond and gave us a lot of extra tips and places to visit during the rest of our trip and even a bit of a detour to other areas of Austin to help us scope out the city. 5* review for Joey and the tour.

Breakfast Tacos - Enjoyed the tour through the South Austin neighborhoods and the local Taco shops. Tour Guide Kelty was a 7th Gen Texas Resident who knew her subject and everything else you might have wanted to know about Austin!

Enjoyable, unique food tour - My wife and I had the opportunity to go on the breakfast taco tour with Joey. He was very pleasant and informative throughout the day, both on Austin and it's happenings, the food scene, as well as the tacos. We went to 3 places to a variety of tacos, and I was especially impressed with the puffy tacos on the first stop. Would definitely encourage others to take advantage of this tour.

Taco tour with Conner - It was fun being driven to 3 really good Taco places that you wouldn’t normally go to if you were staying in town and didn’t have a car. Our guide Conner was informative not only about Tacos but also Austin itself and the music scene.

Evan's Breakfast Taco Tour (Chef's Kiss!) - My bf and I did the Breakfast Taco Tour last week w/ Evan and it was awesome! We got to learn so much about local Austin food and cool facts about the city - it was a unique experience all around. Evan was a great tour guide, very down to earth and willing to answer all of our questions. He was easy to connect with with and turned our group into a community very quickly. He kept us constantly engaged (in a very genuine way) Warning - you will be full and will force yourself to finish your tacos because they are all so tasty, so filling and you kind of feel like wimp when you can't finish a taco. <3 I'd love to take another tour when we come back!

Fun and Informative Morning! - We had a wonderful morning with Kandace. She was warm, funny and full of fabulous information and tips! The tacos were delicious and the coffee shop was great and a great "find" (not just coffee!!). I would highly recommend both Kandace and this tour for something fun and different!
