• Dietary Restrictions: We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian diets - but please let us know in advance of the tour. Our tours are not ideal for guests on dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, or low fat diets as some of our partner restaurants are not able to make substitutions for these diets. Because we notify all of our restaurants and partnering businesses the day prior to the tour, we are not able to accommodate any last minute dietary requests.

• Limitations: There is a significant amount of walking on this food tour. For most of the tastings, guests will be standing, so please wear good, comfortable walking shoes. This tour is not suited for those who cannot be on their feet for 2+ hours or those with physical limitations that make walking long distances difficult.

• Advance purchase required. We suggest all parties plan on booking a week in advance to ensure getting the desired reservation. In order to ensure a spot on the tour (and to give us adequate time to notify our restaurants), reservations will be closed 24 hours prior to each tour.
