We visited a couple of restaurants that have multiple locations in DFW, so wasn't great for us locals, as we didn't get to try new places. The tour guide was great, though, and we got to see a lot of great art around Deep Ellum

Great experience
My husband and I are new to the Dallas area and thought this would be a great way to experience great food and get to know the city. Shanae was a wonderful tour guide! She was easy to get along with, funny, hospitable, and knowledgeable about both the food and the city. The food was great...we went to 3 restaurants and also a great local spice store. I would definitely enjoy doing another tour through this company in another part of town!

10/10 Great Tour
So much fun / great food and amazing tour guide. Loved learning more about the history and current eclectic art scene. Food tastings for all tastes - hard to pick a favorite spot. I would visit each again.
Response from the operator: Hey Kim! Thank you so much for your wonderful review; we’re so glad you had such a great time on the tour and enjoyed both the food and the chance to learn more about the local history and art scene. It’s always a treat when we can showcase the diverse tastes of Dallas, and it sounds like we hit the mark with a variety of stops. We're thrilled to hear you'd visit each place again! We hope to see you on another delicious tour soon—if you’re in the area again and looking for another fun experience, we currently have several holiday light tours running. It could be a great way to explore Dallas in a new, festive light while enjoying some delicious food along the way!

Great Food Tour
Veronica was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. The walking part was manageable with many highlights of Deep Elum.

Disappointing
The guide was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood but we signed up for a food tour. The food was basic and not exciting at all. We were 4 people and had one pizza, one small hummus plate, fries with cheese and bacon, and a taco at the end. I feel that for 99$ I paid the food should have been more upscale and not this basic. I would not recommend anyone to go on this tour.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dallas.
How much does Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dallas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dallas is not rushed.
Is Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dallas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dallas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dallas and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dallas Deep Ellum Food & Street Art Tour by Food Tours of America start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dallas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dallas?
+
Dallas covers JFK and Sixth Floor Museum history tours, Fort Worth Stockyards cattle drives, Deep Ellum food and music walks, and Reunion Tower skyline views. Combined Dallas and Fort Worth tours vary a lot in how much time they actually spend in each. On Outty we rank every Dallas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include JFK Assassination and Museum Tour with Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House, The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at Grapevine Mills, Dallas Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dallas?
+
March to May and October to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dallas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
