“The walking tour was enjoyable and the food was delicious! The tour guide Robby was clearly informed about the history of Austin and answered all questions easily. He is approachable and considerate. I would highly recommend this walking tour!”
Best SoCo food tour ever!

“Michael and I had such a fantastic time on Robby's tour of SoCo. We started at the candy shop and then snaked our way down South Congress, eating delightful bits at every place we stopped: tacos, pizza, kolaches, ice cream, matcha. I have lived in Austin for two years and eat out a lot, but Robby showed me places that I had never been to before. He is very knowledgeable about the businesses he took us to and told us great insider stories. It felt like hanging out with a friend for the day. We ended the day with live music. I couldn't have asked for a better tour! Thank you, Robby!”

“In signing up for the food tour, my number was concern was eating well. Rob did not disappoint. We visited seven locations on South Congress, and all of them were excellent. I had authentic tacos, ice cream from a famous Austin based business, excellent kolaches, and much more... Rob also introduced me to hidden gems and local hole in the walls that I knew nothing about. Not only did Rob arrange for a guided tutorial led by staff at each of the locations, he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of each venue... Rob provides a streamlined, organized, highly informed experience.”
I didn't understand food tours until Authentic Austin! 10 out of 10!

“Robby with Authentic Austin Experiences made my Sunday morning stroll on South Congress so much more entertaining than I every thought it could have been as a local. It was cool to hear of the background of each place we visited... I was also impressed with how Robby was able to accommodate different food preferences, from the vegetarians in the group, to the Canadian more interested in checking out Texas Barbecue... The pacing of the tour felt so comfortable between all the jokes and hits of candy and tacos that I was sad when it was over, but now I am excited to invite visitors with me for the next tour!”
