We booked the self-guided downtown tour about a week prior to our arrival. We received a detailed email about the tour which made the tour very easy to follow. The food was a surprise at each location but I did check out the restaurants prior to our visit. I highly recommend purchasing the additional alcohol beverage package in advance. Some of the drinks we received on the package were not on the menu and absolutely amazing. Each stop seemed better than the last. The food was gourmet, cooked to perfection and a great variety. I really loved the relationship that the tour company must have with the restaurants. Everyone we spoke with was friendly, informative and knew we had the add on beverage package. It was a worry free and relaxing experience. The walk was short between stops leaving us plenty of time to stop for photos and allowing us not to worry about rushing to the next location. I will definitely do the other tours on our next visits! All the restaurants are ones we will return to. The food choices they served were unique, full of flavor and well prepared. I won’t give away the menu, but we got our moneys worth for sure. I will note the restaurants and they deserve a great review also. Thank you to Carson Kitchen, Therapy, and 7th &Carson for fabulous food, drinks and staff. They all have superb chefs, waiters and owners. I can’t wait to visit again.

Celebrating 2yrs with my girlfriend I wanted to surprise her with something fun and special. What better way than be the first to experience this new food tour I seen on the news; so I booked it. And before I continue forward shout out to Donald. He was a great help in assisting me and explaining the whole process of the tour.
So its date night and the first stop was Carson Kitchen. We were served with four different samplers of the house favorites: a gourmet meatball with peas, seasoned watermelon,a deviled egg with caviar, and pork belly covered in buffalo sauce. And all four were delicious. My favorite was the meatball.
A quick skip around the corner our second stop was Therapy. Here we were served with three samplers: seasoned corn on the cob, fried chicken, and some other dish that was not my favorite and can't recall what it was. Two out of the three were good, no favorites.
Our third stop was a visit inside Container Park. We bought cotton candy and sat the picnic tables enjoying talking and laughing while also enjoying the smell of the waffle cones in the air.
After leaving Container Park we had time before needed to arrive at our final stop. This was my favorite part. Walking around downtown seeing people having photo shoots, a music video, and we also seen Las Vegas Fox 5 news anchor Jason Feinberg getting out his car, or at least I think it was him.
So were arrive at our final stop 7th&Carson. Which I can say the outdoor seating was very nice. Here we were served with three samplers: fish&chips, a beet salad, and a creamy a little pasta. The food here was also good. Were even given a complimentary toffee dessert with bananas and whipped cream.
Overall the experience was fantastic. I do recommend adding the options to your tour if you enjoy cocktails. For us to be the first couple to book this food tour the whole thing went smoothly. The customer service was great everywhere. At each place we were seated right away, the contents of each dish was explain to us, and there wasn't a long wait to be served drinks or food. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to be spontaneous. It's a great couples date night adventure and it would be awesome with a group of friends or family as well.

My mom and I did the Downtown Las Vegas Tour. We thought it was a really good experience to try some new foods.
Booking online was very easy and you received your itinerary after you paid.
We liked that we didn't have to wait in line to sit at a table. Each restaurant had a table already reserved for us. Our tour started at 5:30pm. We were given 30 mins at each restaurant, which in the beginning we felt it wasn't long enough, but it actually was, for 2 people. I think if there were more people, you'd probably need more time.
The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the food portions at all the restaurants were uneven and a bit unorganized.
At the first restaurant, we had to share the dishes. The food choices were different and unusual, which we really liked.
The 2nd restaurant, we received our own individual portions (perfect portions). Delicious (my favorite).
The 3rd restaurant, they served us huge portions per plate. We had our own plates but I think they just put way too much on the plate. I'd say, each plate was enough for 2 people. We did not finish our plates but they let us take it home. I also, personally, did not like that they served beer battered alaskan cod and seasoned fries at the 3rd restaurant. I felt, you can get this dish anywhere at a lot of other restaurants. Wished they would have picked a different, uncommon or unusual dish like the other ones they gave us.
All in all, I would book here again. I would just try a different location.

Great idea with average execution either on the restaurant's end, or in the service coordinating with the restaurants. Purchased the downtown tour, arriving promptly on time to our first kitchen @ 1700 only to be greeted with a confused look when mentioning the food tour reservation. Eventually seated, but twice more still, we were approached by wait staff who kept asking if we'd be helped already and if we'd like to order anything. And though we ordered a drink "pass" with promises of your drink waiting for you on arrival, we waited 15 minutes for one cocktail and 25 minutes for our sampler tray to arrive. Scrambling to get to our second destination on time because of the delay at the first, the second restaurant had a significantly more professional setup and approach. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated at a reserved table. Our cocktail was served within 2 minutes and the food, a more complicated sampler tray, arrived in 10 minutes. Given how prompt the service here was and the built in break between 2nd/3rd restaurants, we had more than enough time to visit and lounge around the container park. Our third restaurant stop was unfortunately also a disappointing experience. 1840 now, and the restaurant was certainly busy, but we waited almost 5 minutes just to be greeted by a host, only to be told they had no tables currently available. Another 5 minutes before they hurriedly cleaned a table and we were seated. At least this place knew what to do with a "foodie tour customer" and didn't keep trying to take our order - but like the first place, it took 10 minutes after being seated to receive our cocktail and a whopping 30 to have our meal served. At least this last stop had no defined departure and so we didn't feel rushed, but it felt like there was also little effort to consider the foodie tour connosieur.
One expects the seller of the tours to have their own expectations of the contracted restaurants to reserve time, space, food, and consideration for the tour patron, but at 2/3 places, the tourist seems to just be squeezed into the rotation as an afterthought.
From a food quantity standpoint, the final stop served a full meal on its own (+dessert), and we were hardly prepared, leaving more than half that last meal on the plate - buyer beware that you better come HUNGRY. A more rationed selection of food from each location would have hit the sweet spot. The price for the food/drinks that we received was probably fair given that all taxes and gratuities were included, but I would certainly not do this tour again, and instead just eat at the second place we ended up at, have 2-3 drinks, a three course meal for two, and have some money leftover.

Last time I had a wonderful experience with LipSmacking Foodie Tour; I tried another experience under their sister company, the Finger Licking Foodie Tour. I really had an amazing time with both!
What I loved about the self-guided tour was that we could go around at our own pace. We stopped wherever we wanted, passed on streets we liked, took unlimited pictures, ate until we were full, and moved to another place without thinking of other people.
It was also great that we had a brochure as a guide to help us know which restaurants we should visit. There's also a time frame when you need to arrive and depart; this was quite reasonable as to make sure the restaurant serves fast.
I chose the Self Guided Downtown Foodie tour as I wanted to experience more of the outside vibe of LV - not just the shows, casinos, and hotels. I didn't regret it as I've enjoyed my tour and appreciated lots of art and food around the area.
In our Foodie Tour, we went to 3 different restaurants. Carson Kitchen was our first stop. I had the crispy chicken skins, devil’s eggs (my fave), and the street corn chop. They were accommodating and friendly, too.
Our second stop was at Therapy. The fried mac & cheese croquette with bacon jam is worth drooling over! The Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle Slider was my personal favorite!
We also made a short stop at The Container Park, a great way to create extra space for the food you’re about to dig in on the last stop. Loved the design and feel of the area.
The best location by far is 7th and Carson. The Mushroom Gnocchi, fish and chips, and the salad were fantastic! We got dessert, too, which ended our foodie tour with a blast!
Overall, the Finger Licking Foodie Tour is highly recommended when you are in Las Vegas. You don't only get to tour fantastic spots downtown, but also eat 10 tasty dishes for only $79. Super-worth it!

Self Guided is the way to go! It is so easy. Walk up, announce yourself, then seat you and feed you, and give you libations if you include a drink package, and then you leave. On to your next journey! This is our second go round with self-guided Finger Licking Foodie Tours, and we are even more enamored than we were last October
This tour included Catch in the Aria, which we probably would have passed over if not for the inclusion in the tour. The atmosphere was a floral jungle of beauty and elegance. The food was equally as beautiful. See pictures below. You get one half hour to enjoy the three tasty bites and drinks (if you purchase the package). We had plenty of time. Then a five minute stroll to the next marvelous venue.
Carbone: is a throw back to the Rat Pack era replete with red velvet clamshell seating, Deano singing and effusive wait staff. Not our ordinary spaghetti and meatballs though. A nice peppadew twist to add zest and flavor to this old Italian Standby.
Lastly, a step into Jean George's world of steak and potato. I think someone should tell them that we visited two restaurants before them, because they feed you like you haven't just eaten at two restaurants! You are served a truffle filled appetizer, ParkerHouse rolls and a very generous portion of juicy, cooked to order, steak with fried potato lumps of goodness. And if all that wasn't enough, they bring you each a full size dessert. Amazng lemon and lime look alikes.
The Finger Licking Foodie Tour is a must on our Vegas vacations. No where else can you get a tasting from multiple venues. Brilliant idea, and even more brilliant execution!

Once we got there they didn't have our reservations so right off the bat it wasn't pleasant. When we got sat down we got a vibe that we were disturbing them i get it it's a Saturday night and there busy but that still shouldn't excuse the welcoming part. The tour felt rushed every restaurant was chaotic my fault also for booking on a Saturday night on Fremont

We were sent an original itinerary and we're so excited and we know things can change they changed one restaurant from Carbone at Aria to Bortot. Bardot brought me crab which I had listed as an alergy, they were not as attentive to us as Catch and Jean George. Was very quick and easy to do. Will do another tour.

So much fun! Great way for locals to find a new favorite restaurant and for visitors to experience beautiful downtown Las Vegas!! I was only sad that by time we made it to our last restaurant, I was too full to enjoy everything they offered. Luckily, it was the last stop so we were able to take our time vs rushing off to the the next restaurant. Overall really great experience!

Good overall experience but there was some confusion with the itinerary. Make sure you read and understand it before the trip, had to call the help line to clear confusion about the container park.
Overall had fun, at each restaurant each person gets a small ish basically fancy appetizer sampler with their signature dishes. Great way to walk around and try places you may not have.
