What you get
About this experience
Taste your way through Uptown Dallas with 9 generous tastings at 5 restaurants, a ride aboard a real historic streetcar and a behind-the-scenes trolley barn experience. Come hungry for Moroccan-Lebanese, Thai, Southern comfort, Tex-Mex and Guatemalan flavors—with plenty of food for a meal. Then climb aboard an authentic McKinney Avenue streetcar—not a reproduction—and hear the remarkable stories behind the vintage cars that still roll through Dallas, including Rosie, the fleet’s oldest car, which came all the way from Portugal. When available, go behind the scenes at the McKinney Avenue Trolley Car Barn, a working facility not generally open to the public. See where the historic cars are restored and maintained and meet some of the people who keep them rolling. Uptown Eats! launched in 2011 as Dallas’ original walking food tour, bringing together great food, neighborhood stories and a piece of Dallas history you can actually ride.

I had a wonderful time with Food Tours of America, Dallas! The food was diverse and delicious at every stop. I enjoyed seeing a side of Dallas I had only seen by car, it opened my eyes to what the city has to offer in terms of history and livability. I fell in love with Uptown. The trolly experience was educational and fun! Would recommend!

Fun in Dallas
Anabella was so wonderful! We got a little history with fine dining & lots of laughs. We had a little adventure walking around, plenty opportunity for photos

We had a great time with TFoA-Dallas, well worth it!!
Highly recommend, as older gentleman, I chose Food Tours of America - Dallas as our 2nd date (Note: My date chose the 1st place went too, so the 2nd date was my turn) and we could not be happier with how the overall experience went for us. Our tour guide Annabelle was very knowledgeable, courteous and pleasant. The overall food experience was fantastic. As part of our tour there was a very lovely family we got to meet, and they seemed to enjoy it as well. For those that are concerned with the review about walking, yes, you do walk as part of this, however, it is not a crazy amount of walking. I am 60 and my date is 58 and we found it to be no issue. I hope if you choose TFoA - Dallas as something you do, that you find it as exceptional as we did.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dallas Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley by Food Tours of America: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dallas.
How much does Dallas Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley 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 Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley 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 Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley by Food Tours of America worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 132 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 Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley 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 Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley 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 Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley by Food Tours of America?
+
Around 46 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 Uptown Foodie Tour + Trolley 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.
