Great night - This Houston food tour was one of the highlights of our anniversary weekend! Vanessa is incredibly professional and knowledgable about Houston. The food was also delicious and I love how closely Vanessa worked with each of the restaurant stops You could really tell she has been doing this for a long time. I would recommend any tour with Vanessa for visitors or residents of Houston!

Houston food tour fun - My family really enjoyed this food tour experience. Learned a lot about the city, tons of different food, and good time with others visiting Houston. Our guide Vanessa was a delight, very resourceful with her recommendations and local insider knowledge. She was also helpful at each restaurant too and gave us information so that we could return to the tunnels on our own during the week

Night out in Houston - Enjoyed this evening very much, Vanessa is among the best guides I have found. Her stories, knowledge and food choices are a delight. We ate a lot, took some fun photos, and made some new friends even! Probably my favorite tour I've done in Houston although the tunnel tour is a close runner-up!!

Houston Food tour - We loved this tour. The guide Vanessa was excellent and made us feel welcomed at each stop. Each restaurant had a different atmosphere and type of food ranging from a bar-esque type of restaurant, local theater spot and then eating inside the tunnels. We had ample time to sit at each restaurant and enjoy drinks too. ONE TIP: Do not eat before or you will be tapping out by the 2nd restaurant, this was some of the largest portions I've seen on food tours and we've done them in plenty of cities around the world

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
