You arrive in Texas and want BBQ and Wines
I took the agency for a BBQ tour, and I made the reservation, they told you an exact time to arrive at the meeting point.
BUT, in my case I was staying 30 minutes by car from the meeting center, then they called me on my cell phone asking if I was on the way, and I told them yes, that I am delayed by the traffic and the car, and I told them please I will arrive 10 more,
And I arrived at the meeting point.
And they were waiting for me,
And Mr. TRACE greeted me, very kindly and cordially, (I was all embarrassed by my delay) And we started the trip
The trip was very happy and pleasant, he guided us all the way through the BBQ meals About the TSL restaurant, the meats tasted very good, the place is big and in the wine areas, very good vineyards visited, Excellent host and guide. He taught us about the history of the places in TX and around And if I were to do another tour I would go back with them.
P.S. bring cash for tips in honor of their services provided.
In definition reliable, friendly and they help you if you have questions. And meet new friends. Recommended.
Thanks Mr. Trace you #1

The trip to Salt Lick BBQ and two wineries was a lot of fun! Salt Lick has a great atmosphere and delicious food. The wineries were welcoming and had surprisingly good wine. The real highlight of the tour was our guide, Ike. He was upbeat, knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and played some good music. He also provided us with excellent recommendations for nightlife. We highly recommend this tour!

It was a treat to get out of the city into the countryside. The Salt Lick was an experience like no other, and it was fascinating to visit the different wineries.
Brent, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and hilariously entertaining.
