Uptown Eats! Trolley Tour with Food Tours of America

Overview
The Uptown Eats! Trolley Tour with Food Tours of America is a foodie lovers favorite with over ten different food tastings in three sit down restaurants, including a sweet dessert treat. Opt-into signature alcohol pairings, mocktails, or an Osadia Tequila flight experience from Texas’ best. In between tastings, we’ll visit the McKinney Avenue Trolley “Car Barn” for a VIP behind the scenes tour where Dallas’ original trolleys are restored and maintained. We’ll take insta-worthy photos, meet a trolley conductor, then hop on a vintage trolley for a ride to the West Village Shopping District! This is our original tour, established in 2012, and every tour supports our local trolleys with a donation.

This tour was fun and filling! We visited three places with plenty of time to sit, talk and enjoy. Enjoyed all three and ate at least two items I had never had before (not native to Dallas). There are some accomodations if you have certain dietary restrictions. Fourth place was pastry shop and quick in/out. This was perfect cause the portions were huge and I had to walk off fullness! Brianna was bubbly, informative and accomodating. There is walking and use of the trolley which was fun. Highly recommend if you want a little Dallas food and charm.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Our Uptown & West Village Foodie Walk is our original tour. Its been around since 2012 and over the years our partners restaurants have done an amazing job creatively accommodating dietary restrictions and food allergies. Our gluten free and vegan guests LOVE the menu substitutions, especially the lettuce wrapped beet burger! And I'm so glad you enjoyed the food portions. No one leaves our tours hungry!

We took the West Village Restaurant Hop with Shelly and it did not disappoint. We have done twelve different food tours, but the last three were kind of skimpy on food. This food tour was not. We ate delicious Angus beef sliders, yam fries, hummus, baba ganoush, beef and lamb kofta, chicken shawarma, cactus fritters, goat cheese on baguettes, macaroons, and peanut butter pie. So. Much. Good. Food. Along the way, we rode a historic trolley, walked through a park hanging over the expressway, and learned some Dallas history, as well as something about each restaurant. If you like alcohol, you can also add a cocktail package. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Dallas.

Hi Matthew, thank you so much for the great review! Wow! You've done twelve food tours and highly recommend Food Tours of America. What an honor. We are locally owned and operated and we pride ourselves on our guests not leaving hungry after their foodie adventure with us. We also make sure to provide memorable sightseeing experiences, and optional alcohol pairings on each of our tours. We'll be sure to let Shelly know how much you enjoyed her Uptown & West Village Foodie Walk and we'll look forward to seeing you on our Taste of Texas Deep Ellum Tour or our JFK Food & Culture Tour the next time you're in Dallas!

Emily did a great job with her knowledge of the area and places we went. She also had suggestions of other places to go and explore. I'm a vegetarian and they accommodated me very well, didn't have to eat for the rest of the day! My only suggestion would be they serve the food individually vs family style. Well worth the time and money.

Hi Cyndie, Emily shared with us that you chose Food Tours of America, in part, because we were the only tour you could find to accommodate your dietary restrictions. We know how challenging it can be to have strict dietary needs or preferences like gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, or dairy free and we are proud to always have at least one tour in our line-up that can fully accommodate our guests in this way. We put so much thought and care and effort into everything we serve and it's wonderful that you took the time to appreciate us for this. Thank you! We also always try to include a combination of individually plated items as well as family style tastings to ensure both variety and the right quantity of food for each guest's appetite. We want our guests to leave full and happy! Thanks again for the wonderful review, Jodi Philippson
