Frequently Asked Questions

Does the food & drink included on each tour constitute a meal or just samplings?

We make between 5-7 food stops at each of the tours we operate. All of the food and liquids are included in the ticket price and after the tour 99% of our guests tell us they are full.

What are the names of the restaurants that you stop at?

We work with a wide variety of restaurants in each of the neighborhoods we operate. We cannot guarantee each week exactly which foods we’ll be tasting and what restaurants we’ll be stopping at as they might change based on several factors; what is fresh, what is new, restaurant availability, and what chefs and cooks are crafting that week. In addition, part of the nature of taking a “food tour” is to leave the food stops and tastings as a surprise. Remember that the tours are not only about the food, they are architectural, historical, cultural and culinary tours.

What type of payment you accept?

All major credit cards or checks for large private parties. All tours must be prepaid.

What about vegetarians?

We are now able to accommodate vegetarians at the South Beach Food Tour . Please add under “comments” that you are vegetarian when making a booking so that we can communicate to the restaurants to make the changes.

If you are vegan you will only be able to sample a very small number of the tastings. Unfortunately we cannot make changes to our menu for vegans at the moment.

I have dietary restrictions, what do I do?

Please let the guide know about any dietary restrictions at the beginning of the tour. Please note that we are not able to make any changes to our pre-arranged menu.

Is photography or video at the restaurants and tour allowed?
