Rory was awesome and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this food tour!
Being a Houston native, I still found this Food Tour interesting and informative on Houston history and the evolving food scene on the East side of Downtown Houston. Rory was a wonderfully entertaining and friendly guide. Our friend from the West Coast (who was also a food tour guide there) gave Rory high marks for his tour. A fun afternoon for natives and visitors.
Wonderful food tour with a friendly, knowledgeable, energetic guy. I loved the food choices and all the knowledge. We are from Houston and took our out of town friends and we all had a great time, The amount of food was just right. Only water was given to us, but we could buy other drinks (and we did.) The tour was longer than we expected, which was great. The size of the group was nice and not too big. 20 is the stated max, but I would not want to go with that many people (and we didn't have to.) The food was ordered in advance in some places, but not all. I thought the fee for the tour was fair, and then at the end we tipped 25% more because it was so good. A lot of walking, but our group was up for it and the weather was perfect. I hope to take many more tours with HowdyHTown.
Great tour! Rory is a winderful tour guide, so very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Loved the company, the sights, and all the food.
Rory is the best! He took us through a wonderful walking tour of Houston and its very best restaurants. He provided a wealth of information about the city .... past, present, and future. You really can't go wrong with this delicious taste of Houston!
We did a walking tour in Houston and it was such a fun way to see the city. I’ve lived around the area for a while, but I still learned things I never knew. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept it interesting without making it feel like a boring history lecture. We walked through some of the downtown area and got to see a mix of Houston’s older historic spots and the newer buildings, plus some really cool murals and photo-worthy places. The pace was easy, with plenty of stops to listen, take pictures, and ask questions. It didn’t feel rushed at all. I also liked that it wasn’t just “facts”—they shared stories about Houston’s culture, food, and how different neighborhoods have grown over time. It made me appreciate the city more. If you’re visiting Houston or even if you’re local and just want something different to do, I definitely recommend doing a walking tour. Wear comfortable shoes, the guide Rory provided water, and be ready for the heat depending on the time of year!
Count us among the many happy Howdy H-Town food tour customers. We had lovely weather, our fellow tour takers were delightful, and we enjoyed great food at places we never would have tried on our own. Rory was a charming guide and has clearly put a lot of effort into crafting a well planned tour with great food and lots of interesting Houston history.
If you’re looking to experience Houston like a true local, learn about the city from Rory at Howdy H-Town! His deep knowledge of the city’s rich history, diverse communities, and unbeatable food scene is great. Rory doesn’t just show you around—he brings Houston to life. Whether he’s sharing historical facts, pointing out hidden gems, or recommending must-try spots for the best tacos, BBQ, or global cuisine, you can feel his passion for the city. What really sets Rory apart is his ability to connect the past and present of Houston in a way that’s engaging and insightful. He highlights the unique blend of cultures that make up the heart of Houston and makes sure you walk away not only entertained but educated and inspired. If you want a memorable, authentic, and fun experience in Houston, I would highly recommend booking with Howdy H-Town.
Amazing experience and an excellent way to see and experience Houston!! So many good things to eat! Rory is the best tour guide and is so friendly.
Highly recommend. Easy walking and food is great. Rory is an excellent guide - lots of great information (even for those of us who live in Houston!), friendly and cheerful. Great area of town, and also lots of opportunities to see great street artwork in the area.
Wonderful experience. The guide is awesome. Good conversation, with a lot of history and local facts. We live in Houston, and I was surprised how great it is to take a food tour in your own town.
If you're a foodie or just looking for a unique way to explore the city, I highly recommend this tour. It’s a must-do for anyone visiting or living in the area. He is was incredibly knowledgeable about H town history, passionate, and made the entire experience so much fun. We had our 3years old son with us and Rory made sure that he is having fun and comfortable. I learned a lot about the city where I live in and, most importantly, I found the best taco in town!
Rory was great! He showed me all the great places to eat and visit in Houston! He is a true historian and highly recommend the tour! Thank you for amazing day!!
Rory is amazing, entertaining, and very knowledgeable! You’re guaranteed to have a great time and great eats with him.
Excellent walking itinerary and mix of food to taste. Tour guide, Rory, is awesome! Our group had fun and learnings, too!
So fun, would definitely recommend this for all ages, wide variety of food provided, really eclectic places to visit, great photo opportunities.
Enjoyed this walking tour - Rory told us some good stories and shared some of the best food in the area. BBQ was seriously good.
Amazing tour. Diverse food options - very tasty. Nice history discussed - learned some cool things! Rory was wonderful. Highly recommend.
The views were okay. We took so many photos. The group was confused about how we were going to transport this tour. We thought it was a bus tour, but it was actually a walking tour. We were not dressed for the occasion so just ensure you wear tennis shoes if your group choose this tour. However the restaurants were okay, especially the BBQ. The experience was different, but FUN! The Host was very patient. She was awesome! Patricia is her name. I do recommend you all a professional photo shoot.
Rory was an amazing guide with interesting history and knowledge. All the stops were delicious and you definitely will leave full!! Rorys passionate and love for Houston shines throughout the tour. I would recommend to both tourists and locals.
Fantastic Walking Food Tour! Rory was an incredible guide! The food, information and entertainment were all wonderful. Highly Highly recommend!
The tour was AMAZING!! We tried various foods from different cultures and were able to take pictures from famous tourist attraction sites. Since I don’t eat red meat, I was given various food options to select from. I would highly recommend this tour!
WOW! I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something to do on a Saturday morning. If you’re a Houston Native or New to the city. The hosts of the tour do a great job telling a unique story of the area and trying unique food. Well worth the price.
This was our first experience with such an excursion. We were delighted! In addition to food, we received a lot of emotions, new information and many beautiful photos. Thank you very much for the time spent.
Rory was a FANTASTIC host and tour guide. Incredibly organized, knowledgeable about H-Town and hilarious. Awesome time!
Rory was amazing! Great picks, great talks, great energy. I'll be back to Houston at some point just because of this experience.
The tour was amazing. There were great food selections and the history was fascinating. Rory was very knowledgeable and funny.
Rory was an excellent tour guide. He was fun, entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable about downtown Houston. The places we visited were all excellent.
My wife and I love doing food tours in whatever new city that we visit. The Howdy H-Town EADO Food Tour in Houston, Texas did not disappoint. Our tour guide, Rory, was informative, entertaining, and passionate about his adopted hometown of Houson. It was like walking around the city with your best friend, enjoying the burgeoning food scene happening in East and Downtown Houston. All of the stops were well-prepared and welcoming to our group of 20 despite the added challenge of 55,000+ robotics athletes attending their world championship. We started out with delicious pastries before visiting a taco restaurant, a Texas BBQ, and a specialty food market with foods from around the world. We ended the tour with a Vietnamese restaurant. Come hungry... there was a lot of food!
Well planned tour! I'm from Houston and had a great time, learned new stuff and tried places I'll absolutely go back to! Rory is a total delight!!! So thoughtful, entertaining and informative!
Wonderful tour guide and fantastic, informative and delicious! This walking tour was everything I’d hope it’d be and more!
I’ve lived in Houston my whole life and Rory took me places and explained the city in a way that me feel like it was a new city!
Rory puts a fun, interesting and infectious spin on touring. His knowledge of Houston is incredible and I learned things I didn’t know after more than 20 years in the city. The food choices are amazing so make sure you come hungry and you will not be disappointed!
Rory was amazing! I loved the food tour with him, it was like a sightseeing tour combine. Thank you for an amazing day Rory!
Had an amazing time with my friends on this trip.... Thanks to Howdy H-town Food tour for such a wonderful experience....
Great tour guide…Rory has great energy and knowledge about the city. Yummy bites and unique stops along the way.
Rory is a very knowledgeable guide who makes his tour very entertaining and tasty! The tour takes you to 5 great, diverse restaurants.
Really enjoyed all the stops and learning about Houston along the way. Rory is an awesome tour guide! Highly recommend!
Wonderful tour with more than just tasty food. Rory leads you through some of the most unique parts of Houston for a really personalized experience.
HowdyHTown delivers a FANTASTIC tour! We soaked up Houdton history and a lot of Houston’s best restaurants. I liked that the restaurants are deeply rooted in the local communities — not Johnny-come-latelies, really great tour, just the right amount of food, history, and culture.
Rory was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. The food selection was great. Highly recommend this tour!
Had a great food tour with Rory! Being from Houston we were curious how a local tour would be. We weren’t disappointed, each of the places that Rory chose for the tour were great examples of some of the Houston food staple's, including BBQ, Tacos and Vietnamese food. Would definitely recommend anyone who likes food and an entertaining history lesson of Downtown Houston and EaDo experience this tour with Rory!
It was an amazing experience. Food was delicious and abundant. Rory is fantastic! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We took many pictures and had a great time!
We booked as a food tour, but it turns out to be a cultural tour as well! Rory, you were amazing! Wonderful selection of food, a lot of culture and great conversation! Keep doing it!
Great experience, great guide! The food we tried on the tour was really diverse. The walking was minimal but we got lucky with the weather. Highly recommend!
I came from out of town to visit my friend and we saw the other reviews and decided to book. The reviews did not lie! Rory was amazing! We learned so much about Houston and the food was awesome!! We got a plethora of different things to try and we left full and happy! Would definitely recommend!
What a great time. Awesome food, great stories about the city and an awesome guide which made it special. The stops included five different locations with all different food options along the way. Highly recommended!!
Truly enjoyed our tour with Rory! Very informative, fun, and great food. The barbecue place we visited was my favorite.
Rory is awesome! My wife and I were feeling underwhelmed with other things we had done in Houston for the first couple days. Then we met Rory on his food tour and he completely changed our minds and provided a superior experience! Rory was friendly, charismatic and VERY knowledgeable about the Houston area. As he took us around for the food tour he explained the food we were eating and restaurants we were at, in addition to lots of history and current information about the city of Houston we were walking past, pictures of what it used to look like and to support the stories or trivia he was sharing along the way. As a bonus he is very well traveled and was able to relate and share many stories of global topics and destinations that we had traveled or were looking to travel. We would certainly recommend him and hope to have an opportunity to do another one with him in the future.
