I highly recommend this tour for both out-of-towners and locals.We live in the Montrose area and learned of this tour through Houston Insiders organization. Star greeted us at Market Square and immediately connected with all of us. She is an interesting person even without sharing the history of Houston and plying us all with excellent craft cocktails and light bites at each stop! Dress for the weather and come hungry!Zbby7

I recently went on the historic district craft cocktail tour and I had SOO much fun!! The tour guide does her absolute best to make sure you are fed, drinking and informed(just the right amount!!) about the diversity of our city, the culture, the people and of course the FOOD! I can definitely say I felt like a tourist in my own city. Whether you are going on this tour with your significant other, having a girls night out or just a night out with friends this is the perfect way to just SHOW up and have some fun!! The tour guide is full of passion and her lively energy travels through the group. Going on this tour made me realize there are so many cool restaurants and coffee shops in Houston with different stories of their own. I can’t wait to go back to some of my favorite stops. Thank you STAR!jovichamp

I always say that food is my love language and tell others how it's the best way to learn about a city and its culture. What I love about Best Bites Houston is that it's a walking food tour that explores the city's "diverse food & culture one bite at a time!" Yes, we can all follow guidebooks, but in so many big cities it can be overwhelming having to look through a long list of restaurants while trying to find that hidden gem. And that's exactly what this food tour does. They do all the work for you. You can literally just show up and enjoy the tour. However, if you have specific food requests, then Best Bites Houston can tailor your private group's tour to include food, drink, and culinary experiences towards your preferences. What also makes this food tour most enjoyable and uniquely different, is the lead tour guide, Star. During my food tour, Star was passionate about every location we visited. She provided us with so much insight, whether about the restaurants and their history, the culture and architecture of downtown Houston, or an insider's scoop of the local chefs. Whether you're visiting Houston or a Houston native, you should book a tour for your family, friends, coworkers, or whoever with Best Bites Houston. It's a fun way to eat delicious food and have a drink (or two) while hanging out in some of Houston's most notable restaurants. Experience the beauty of Downtown Houston on this 3-hour foodie adventure and you'll even leave with secrets that even Houstonians don't know about!jigynap
