Arts District Food Tour: Trendy Eats, Boutiques, Murals & More!

Glad we booked this tour! This was a very select group of three of us, so we were spoilt a little! Kat was very knowledgeable about the area, the history of it, the people who lived there and of course, the food offerings. Four food outlets, great food options. Some additional surprises on the way (a visit to a vintage shop, an art gallery and a wedding venue) really added extra value to this. We had vegan options in Tacotarian, meaty options at Soul Belly BBQ, chicken sandwiches and the best cinnamon cake ever at 1228 Main followed by a slice of the bet chocolate cake from Freeds Bakery. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the tour. The food was great. Exploring the arts district was such a different experience for Vegas that it needed to be appreciated with an accomplished guide.

Our foodie tour guide, Kay, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, fun, friendly, and organized. She introduced us to some great eateries and sights. The Arts District is so dynamic and interesting. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Las Vegas. It’s a nice alternative to the strip and a new location favorite for the city.

It was a fun tour. Kat told us a lot about the Arts District, and we ate some wonderful food. Would definitely recommend this tour!

We had a great time on this tour. We loved our guide, Kathy. Super knowledgeable about the area. Gave great history and suggestions for places to go. The food at the stops were really delicious. This is good tour to find hidden gems where you might not normally head to when in Vegas. It gets you off the strip and exposes you to more local spots. Our group was small so it really felt like a private tour. Bonus we had another one of their tour guides with us, Nick. He was extremely personable and would love to come back and do his tour Strip Foodie Tour. Overall a great experience and we look forward to doing another tour when we are back in Vegas, highly recommend.

I was so impressed with the Strip Food Tour that I decided to do the Arts District Food Tour as well, and what an amazing place, with amazing food and an amazing guide! You get to try BBQ, plant-based Mexican (not a place I would have ventured into on my own), 1228 where you get the best coffee and pastries, and a dessert stop. And that’s just the food! There are plenty of other stops where you get an insight into the history of the Arts District, and it has a really nice local feel to it. It was great getting to see a different side of Vegas that I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I don’t want to spoil any of the surprise spots for you, so do check this one out!

We had a great time and would do it again.

Our guide “Nap” was an absolute gem and I would suggest this tour to all. As a self proclaimed “Foodie”, the restaurant selections were spot on. The distance between each stop was minimal, but packed with interesting tidbits of history and fun facts that added to the overall experience. I would definitely do this again in the future, and highly recommend.

Had an awesome time on our Foodie Tour in the Vegas Arts District. Got to try Vegan, BBQ, delicious grilled chicken on soft foccacia bread with a dessert croissant and looking forward to some historic chocolate cake. Kathy allowed us to go at a laid-back pace to not only avoid the heat but enjoy the food and company. We were also able to get a bit of shopping in at some of the boutique shops as well as see one of Vegas' famous wedding chapels. Definitely A+ experience.

We enjoyed each stop on this outstanding food tour of the Las Vegas Arts district. Discovered many hidden jewels along the way. My favorite beverages and dishes include the mango margarita and mole/green chili enchiladas at Tacotarian, the pork sliders with the sweet BBQ sauce at Soul Belly BBQ and the delicious grilled chicken sandwich with an exquisite pesto sauce at 1228 Main. Topped it all off with a slice of chocolate cake at Freed’s Dessert Shop. Nap (best tour guide ever) made the experience meaningful and memorable. Highly recommended!! I will be back.

The food was delicious. The tour guide spent a lot of time talking about the area and the arts district in general. This is the first food tour that there was shopping and other destinations added in that were not about the food. I enjoyed that, but it is not for people who only want to focus on the food. The tour guide was extremely friendly, inclusive, knowledgeable, energetic, and did a great job.

Nap and Taste Buzz tours are the BEST!! This is our second tour with Taste Buzz and both were excellent. The Arts District tour did exactly what we hoped. Introduced us to a new part of Vegas that we were not familiar with and showed us GREAT restaurants AND stores to explore. Tacotarian, where our tour began is a place that we would not have wandered into on our own. Not being vegetarian, the name would have told us that we wouldn’t like the food. NOTHING could have been farther from the truth! The vegan meal we were given was so very delicious! I said “I would come here every night!” Excellent!!! So do yourself a favor and take the Taste Buzz tours!! You will be given more delicious food than you can eat in the 3 hours and learn about the history of Las Vegas and block 18. Worth every penny!!!

April was very informative and a fun host. Enjoyed all of the stops included. New fun reasons to visit.

Excellent attraction. Did the Arts District. Nap is an excellent guide.Highly recomend. The food was all good.

Outstanding tour! Definitely recommend this experience, the best food and superb guide Nap who showed us some amazing places in the Arts District. Best tour in Vegas!

The food was absolutely delicious and different. The vegan meal was outstanding. The coffee was delightful and already ordered some for home. The art was just beautiful on the buildings which showed some creative folks in Las Vegas.

April is a great tour guide. She gave us lots of insight into the Arts District. She was considerate of keeping us in the shade on a very hot and sunny day. Great food and plenty of it to satisfy our appetite.

Learned so much about the arts district of Las Vegas. Food was tasty and plentiful! Enjoyed stops at art galleries, wedding chapel and several artsy retail stores. Nap was an awesome tour guide!

I really enjoyed our Tour with Nap! She was entertaining and informative! My food intolerances were beyond satisfied! I only wish we could have explored more types of stores. The food stops were awesome!! I highly recommend!!

Excellent tour. The food was amazing and our tour guide (Nap) was very knowledgeable and engaging. This is a hidden gem.

What a great way to spend an afternoon! Great food, and great stops we would not have seen on our own but will definitely be back to now! Kathy was *awesome* too! Some of our group went on this tour a couple years ago and even chose the little vegas wedding chapel because of it 🖤

This was a great tour starting with our guide, Nap. She was very knowledgeable and engaging and the food was delicious. A gem!!!

Knowledgeable tour guide. Less food and variety than most foodie tours. Art stops were ok. Focus was much more on art than food.

This food tour was excellent! Our local tour guide, Jim, was very informative and engaging. Appreciated that all of these places were local businesses. We left VERY full and happy! Thanks Jim!

We did the arts tour. Jim was amazing. He was super knowledgeable and took his time explaining everything. The food was amazing. The barbecue was so good! And the birria grilled cheese was amazing!

Nap was a fun, engaging & knowledgeable tour host. We had a great time walking about the Arts District & had access to places we probably wouldn’t have had if we were on our own. Food stops were delicious local restaurants. Highly recommend!

Wonderful guide and restaurants. The Arts museum was awesome. We loved the Arts District. And the Bakery. We look forward to returning

Nap was such an excellent tour guide. She was a wonderful conversationalist. She has knowledge of this delicious food that was so interesting.

Nap was the absolute best guide. She was so genuine, informative and fun. I would highly recommend the Art District tour. The food was great but the history, art and local stops made the tour.

Great balance of sight seeing and food stops. All of the food was amazing and the art district was super cool!

Nap was a wonderful tour guide. Since she grew up around the area, she shared many memories about the art district.

My friend and I were visiting Las Vegas and wanted to check out the Art District. It did not disappoint. Such a cool area. We had vegan Mexican, BBQ and another hispanic place with great drinks that we purchased on our own. Nap was our guide. She gave us so many tips and info on the area. There's definitely more to Vegas than a casino and lots of very interesting history. Will definitely go back now that we have had a great tour with Nap. We visited some of the vintage shops. And ended our tour with very tasty dessert that we saved for breakfast the next day because we were so full. We met the owner of the the company at the beginning. Lovely lady. Happy we chose this experience!!!

Excellent, fun, engaging, and a knowledgeable food tour! The price was somewhat reasonable with the food and restaurants which were offered. The length of the trip was perfect with a few side attractions which we visited. Highly recommend!! Nap, our tour guide, was awesome with great history on the neighborhood and the restaurants!

Nap was such a delight! Very knowledgeable and entertaining walking foodie tour of the Las Vegas Arts District. Food was creative and delicious, including cauliflower tacos, chicken breakfast egg on corn bread, BBQ veggie sliders (we skipped the pork), and bakery chocolate cake and cookies. We also liked the stops at rather expensive arts gallery and Vegas wedding chapel. Enjoyed this one much more than Vegas strip walking tour we did before with very disappointing food.

We had a great time with Nap! The food was great, and the tour was very informative. We learned a lot of Vegas history and even got to do a little thrift store shopping along the way.

This tour was great. April, our guide, was so knowledgeable of the history of the Vegas Arts District. We enjoyed all the restaurants and businesses we visited. I highly recommend the tour.

Lots of information about the arts district. The wedding chapel was great and we met Elvis! Don't go hungry, you just get tasters.

Really enjoyed getting off the strip and seeing the more local side of Vegas. All the food stops during this tour had really delicious food and it was so neat to pop into the chapel and learn more about the Vegas marriage scene! Bought some really great art during one of our stops and just really enjoyed the mix of shops and restaurants this tour took us to! Definitely a great way to see another side of Vegas!

Nick was an excellent host. He was very knowledgeable about the arts district and the Vegas area. The food was delicious and the non food stops were enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, our guide and the food. We enjoyed learning about the arts district and the less travelled side of Las Vegas from our LV local guide!

Great experience. A cool area to walk, great food, and most importantly Nicholas was a great tour guide.

Nicholas was great. Food was great and varied. We enjoyed the off the beaten path seeing where the locals hang, drink and eat. Portions were almost too large , we couldn’t eat everything provided. Would highly recommend this tour

It was a beautiful day and the company was a great group. The places we stopped were a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I will have to go back and sample more of their food. A really great experience that everybody should try ❤️

Great way to experience the Arts District in Las Vegas - great stories, history, and experiences! The food was amazing, too! Visited vintage stores and a super fun art gallery!

My sister and I came into town and were looking for some cool new experiences and this was definitely one of them. Nap is an amazing guide, super knowledgeable and very personable. The weather wasn’t the best but we absolutely still made the best of it and had a super fun time!! The food was awesome and walking around the art district was very cool!

Wonderful food, interesting sites to see, lots of history learned, and new friends made from all over the country.

The tour was amazing!! Kathy really out did herself as our guide. We enjoyed great food and learned a great deal about the Artisan area in Las Vegas. The cocktail package was even enjoyable. A wonderful time was had by all.. The restaurants we visited were all wonderful places. For me, I loved the graffiti morals and the history behind them. The tour was just long enough and not drawn out. If you book this tour wear comfy shoes, while you enjoy and participate in this interactive experience. Which, is much better than slot play!!!! Thanks Kathy.. We'll see you next time.

What a wonderful small group experience. Got to explore the wonderful arts district which I had not experience before. Jim was a great guide and gave us a lot of local history. He made sure we stayed hydrated in the heat and kept us only on short periods outside. All the food stops were wonderful and I plan to visit them for other meals. Wonderful tour and lots of personalized attention.

Awesome food tour! I had never been to the Arts District area in Vegas and I'm glad we went. Our guide Jim was very knowledgable and showed my daughter and I all around the area. Loved all the Murals and each stop on the food tour was fantastic. Portions were large and we left full!! Highly recommend!
