WHAT IF I HAVE ALLERGIES OR DIETARY RESTRICTIONS?

We do our best to accommodate the special dietary needs of our guests, however we can’t guarantee all stops will be able to do so. When you book a food tour, let us know about any dietary needs/preferences (eg. allergies, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free) and your guide will help identify items you might want to avoid.

HOW MUCH FOOD IS SERVED ON THE TOUR?

Our food tastings and portions are generous and roughly equal to a good-sized lunch. We recommend coming on the tour with an appetite as most guests leave comfortably full.

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

We present tours rain or shine, bring your umbrella or jacket with hood.

Our tours cover approximately one mile of walking, and we move at a relaxed and leisurely pace. On our food tours, you’ll have regular opportunities to sit down during tastings.

WHAT IF I AM HARD OF HEARING?

Our professional guides are skilled public speakers and work hard to make sure everyone can hear during the tour. If you are hard of hearing, please let your guide know and we’ll ensure you get a front-row seat.

SHOULD I TIP MY TOUR GUIDE?

If you feel your tour guide has provided a great experience, gratuities are encouraged— and welcomed—at the end of your tour. We believe that recognizing excellent service is a personal matter, though 15-20% of your booking fee is a good rule of thumb. Gratuities for your guide are always appreciated, but never expected.

DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE TICKETS IN ADVANCE?

Advanced purchase is strongly recommended, as tours often sell out well in advance. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance.
