I am traveling with my family, is the tour ok for infants/children?

+

Children are more than welcome on our tour and it's free for any child 2 years or under! We have had many families attend from all over the world and everyone enjoyed the tour.

I don't drink alcohol. Can I book your tour?

+

This is not a problem. Just inform our guide before the tour starts. During the tasting you can select another beverage you like.

Is there enough food during your tour?

+

We give enough food to all our customers. Trust us, you will not need to go to any restaurant after the Food tour!

Where do I add my discount voucher?

+

I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

+

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.

Is there a lot of walking?

+

Great question! Our food tour does involve some walking, as we explore various food and historical stops along a 1.3-mile route. To fully enjoy the experience, we highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes that will keep you at ease throughout the tour. Additionally, we encourage you to bring sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun, as we'll be exploring both outdoor and indoor locations!

Where does your food come from?

+

We work with small shops in the Richmond area. The food and drink we buy is top-quality, fresh and local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

+

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Richmond. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.

Can I pay the tour in cash?

+

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?

+

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

+

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
