Is there alcohol?
We will provide water for guests at each location. Due to time constraints and safety concerns, we ask that guests do not order specialty drinks.

Any other tips?
Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as this is a walking tour. It is a tasting tour, so please be advised we will not order food or drinks from the menu. Instead, our partnered restaurants have selected a few of their popular dishes to share with us. Inform host of dietary restrictions.
