Then 35 days before our planned trip I received a notice that the prepaid event had been cancelled. They offered to reschedule out 30 days further or refund. Four very disappointed women but grateful they didn't cancel the day before the event. Luckily there is a lot to do in San Antonio but its hard to find one common interest between 4 women other than food! Three like to drink, one doesn't. Two like history, two don't. One likes to shop, three dont....back to planning.

You get to visit 5 different stops (mine was only four since it was the starting phase). I went on a Sunday tour, the tour differs between the two based on the dessert place (La Boulangerie on Saturday, Paleteria on Sunday). The tour was great, we start at Ocho, you get a taste of one of the popular dishes and history on SA, then start on foot towards Luke, receiving information about the city on the way. I enjoyed a great little dish and drink at Luke, then headed on to Nectar, and got a HUGE sampling of the meats and cheeses that they offer, from there we head to Zinc. At Zinc I tried one of the best guacs in town, and saw some of my fellow tour-ers the purchase a Prickly Pear Margarita, which was really really pretty. (Typically you visit a desert place last, but because i went on the tour before the Paleteria was confirmed, we skipped this stop.) The SA Food Tours staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they've put a lot of time and hard work into the tour, and its a great way to experience San Antonio's food scene and get some history at the same time. I've lived here all my life and learned and tried new things on the tour, it's worth it!

I think it's hard to dislike any food tour, even if the food is OK, and not that special. I think…read morethey have kind of a "built-in" advantage over other types of tours for that reason. I'm speaking from experience as we've taken one now each place we travel to (if they have one) for the last 6 years, which is when it seems many good ones began to get started (US). I noticed the reviews so far are all from people in San Antonio. Nothing wrong with that - I live here too. However, none mention having taken other food tours they've taken so as to compare it. When you do, I find this tour a bit pricey and not balanced. I know it's a about the food for the most part and was the main reason we took it despite the cost. Yet, I was hoping for a true overall cultural experience like the best food tours we've done. That way you walk away satisfied gastronomically but also feel like you'd received a real "taste" of the city's culture you're visiting while allow your palate to rest while "digesting" things other than food. As I stated above, most food tours get good reviews, so I believe this is what helps separate the stand-outs from the average.

The next day we made reservations to return to our favorite place on the tour (Bliss). If you are visiting San Antonio this tour should not be missed.

Restaurant stops, drinks, shopping, tourist shopping, and art and interpreted history all in one excursion. If you're not from the south the landscaping alone is worth exploring. Exits are often, so you can have as much river walk as you'd like and spend whatever you like, beyond the trapezoid downtown and the Alamo connect. If you're feeling industrious the river is within reach of all your missions in the National Park system, 10 miles south of downtown, and Breckenridge Park's Japanese Tea Garden to the north. Bridge crossings and ramps throughout are helpful. You can make this a river walk or a shopping trip, it can be as budget friendly as you like.

First off, let me start by saying our driver Nate, was an absolute doll. He was the only good part about the experience with this company. The company is called San Antonio Wine Tours, their website says they are based out of SA and pickup in SA. When booking a half day tour, their website says there is only enough time to go to dripping springs. So I booked dripping springs and requested and additional hour to have lunch. Upon calling to update my reservation I was told the extra hour I purchased would go towards travel time. TBF dripping springs is 1.5 hours from my home and they said ppl usually spend 45min-1hr at the wineries. That being said, why does the basic half day package say there's enough time to go to dripping springs only, which I chose, yet my additional hour has to be used for travel. It didn't quite add up. So I explained this to them and was given the response "oh, I guess the website needs to be corrected". Also, they just asked "do you want to cancel?" No attempting to right their wrong. I soon realized it's probably bc the deposit I put down was non refundable so they probably didn't care bc they already had some of my money. I was told that apparently they have been pulling this since they started 2 years ago and the website was supposed to have been "corrected" many times before this. So buyer beware, this company practices dishonest and what I feel is shady business. They also seem to not care about if the customer is upset and only about the money that can get.
