Uptown food tour - I did the Uptown tour with Courtney, and I must say—it exceeded my expectations. I was nervous to do the tour solo, but I had such an incredible experience and even made a few friends along the way! We had Lebanese food, Thai food, and Mexican food. I loved how the food was already selected and everything felt perfectly curated. It was essentially a long tasting menu from multiple different restaurants. If you’re looking to try something new and want a group to do it with, I’d definitely recommend this one!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. The trolley is a definite plus - The food was great and a good variety. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area, she gave some suggestions of other attractions to check out in the city. The trolley makes it easy for people that can’t walk long distances.

DO THIS TOUR - I joined this tour TODAY in Uptown Dallas by Food Tours of America.
It was recommended to me by a friend, and I personally can't recommend it highly enough!
Our guide, Veronica, was amazing. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the local food scene and it was just really infectious to us all. She even included details of the city's history, which made it even more memorable. Especially being someone who grew up here - apparently knowing nothing of all we had to offer!
The tour featured a variety of dishes from some of the best local restaurants, showing the incredible diversity of flavors you can find here in Dallas. You can definitely tell each stop was carefully selected, and Veronica shared stories about the ingredients and inspiration behind each dish. It really added a personal touch to the experience.
What I loved most was the chance to meet other guests on the tour and share our thoughts on each item. Veronica made sure each of us felt included and engaged, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Plus, she had some great recommendations for other places to visit after the tour, so now I have even more restaurants to experience!
Overall, this food tour was a wonderful way to explore Dallas and its vibrant culinary scene. I left full, with new friends, and a deeper appreciation for the local culture even having been raised here.
If you're in Dallas, I highly suggest booking a tour with Food Tours of America - You won't regret it!

Good food and street car rides too - We have done quite a few food tours in various cities. Food on this one was especially good, and Brianna was an excellent guide. Even though there was only my wife and I on the tour, and as a result, she had to know that her tips would be fewer than she would have liked, she did not skimp on her attention to us. All food was good too. Definitely recommended. Street cars and her description of them and their history was a special treat.

A great introduction to a city - We did the Food Tours of America tour in Dallas along with another couple. We were visiting the area and my wife and I have found that one of the best ways to introduce yourself to a new city is to do so through good food and maybe a couple of drinks. The tour started on time and we visited some great smaller restaurants in the area and had a great opportunity to learn about the Dallas trolly’s as well as ride in one. Our tour operator, Veronica, was a wealth of knowledge and provided us great information about each restaurant as well as a plethora of information about Dallas itself. I would definitely recommend taking the tour if you are visiting the great city of Dallas plus I am pretty sure that if you live in the area, you will try new food, meet new people and learn about the city. You might be asking why a rating of four vs five. The one thing that my wife, myself and our friends did not enjoy was how the beverages were handled. I somewhat understand the why it was handled the way it was but it was a negative for us. At the end of the completed tour, we were told that we had xx beverages for the tour and were billed an amount. At no point during the tour were we told the price of a drink and I only assumed we would get a bill at the end that detailed the information. It was a straight you had xx beverages, here is the total price and it left a bit of a bad taste for the four of us. Although it probably is a bit of an inconvenience and adds a bit of more time to the tour, we felt it would be best if each person/couple was charged for the drinks they ordered at each restaurant and the upfront price be mentioned. Based on the total charges, we paid approximately $20 per drink which is definitely a premium for the size drinks we received and compared to the amount we paid for the food tour itself. Outside of the beverages, the tour was reasonably priced.
