We did the Salt Lick and Winery tour as a team outing and had such a fun day! Our tour guide Bobby was great and so patient when we were running late (getting that many women together on time is a struggle!) The food and wine was great and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything was already taken care of so we could just enjoy the day. I definitely recommend this tour!

Ike, our tour guide, was great. So knowledgeable, humorous, and just all around great human. Salt Lick was by far the best BBQ I've had. The wineries were beautiful and relaxing. Our group had a blast - I highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was Joe and he was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the area and entertained us while traveling to our destinations that included the famous Salt Lick BBQ restaurant in Dripping Springs and two local wineries. The van was comfortable with large windows in order to view the landscape. The tour started at 10:30 am and we were back at the visitor center around 3pm, so it was the perfect amount of time! Not too short and not too long. My husband and I enjoyed it very much.
