We thoroughly enjoyed the... - We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Vanessa was a true professional. We had about 8-10 people in our group. I had a party of 4 within the group and Vanessa made sure we experienced the tour all together. The weather was chilly even by Houston standards. The layout of the tour was done perfectly, right down to the timing and order of dishes tasted. Great assortment of flavors. Highly recommend. Mahalo and aloha Vanessa from da Sekiyas

Perfect way to experience the diversity of H-Town - We had an AMAZING 🤩 time with tour guide Vanessa. We highly recommend this food tour!!!! Not only was the food really good, but we also loved learning fun facts about downtown Houston. We even experienced a portion of the the underground city through the tunnel system. Definitely broadened our horizons and where we would want to come back to visit on our next trip to downtown Houston. We also loved how Vanessa was so attentive to all of our needs to make sure we had the best experience possible. She kept the tour moving seamlessly. Our favorite stop on the tour was La Calle where we enjoyed authentic beef birria tacos, deconstructed elote, and mango margaritas. Also, met some really cool and fun folks who made the night even more enjoyable!!! What a great night out!!!! 🥳. Would definitely do it again!!!! 😃

Awesome tour and tour guide - My husband and I really enjoyed the tour! We learned so much about the Houston downtown area even though we have lived in Houston all our lives. Also, there was a good variety of different types of food and we discovered some new restaurants that we will visit again. The best part was the tour guide, Vanessa, she made the tour amazing. She was full of knowledge on all the downtown buildings, I was very impressed. We are planning to do another downtown tour because of the positive impression she left on us. You will not be disappointed if you book a tour with Vanessa!
