Questions
Frequently Asked
We have answers!
01
Are there any alcoholic beverages served on a food tour?
While we do not provide alcohol as part of the tour, alcoholic drinks can be purchased separately at participating restaurants. All alcoholic drinks must be consumed on property as the city of Clearwater does not allow open container.
02
How much food will be included in the tastings?
Most guests find that the tastings are enough for a light meal. Portion sizes are smaller, as the
restaurants typically either offer a ‘unique, off menu’ or specialty item. Our guests find themselves
comfortable and satiated by tour’s end. Please understand our food tours are not intended to replace
multiple meals, but provide an overview of 4 to 5 different local restaurants.
03
How much walking is involved?
Tours last approximately 3 hours and participants can expect to walk roughly 1.5 miles over that time.
We walk at a moderate pace, while you sit/rest at each stop. Most guests find the balance refreshing
between a mild walk combined with light tasty cuisine.
04
If I am bringing a very young child, do I need to purchase a ticket for them?
No. If your young child will not be participating in the tastings, you do not need to purchase a ticket for
them. However, please do let us know if you will be attending with an infant or young child when you
purchase tickets in the Notes section.
05
Is the tour wheelchair and stroller accessible?
Yes, we will assist in directing any guests using wheelchairs or strollers to optimize safety and enjoyment of the tour. If you have any specific concerns or questions, we invite you to contact us to discuss further.
06
Are gift certificates available?
Yes, Gift Certificates are available! Simply visit our store page and purchase a Gift Certificate to cover as many tickets you’d like. Once you’ve purchased a gift certificate, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail
with your gift certificate code. Simply use this code when booking your tour date!
07
Does the tour leader accept gratuity?
We take pride in offering exceptional tours led by knowledgeable and dedicated guides who are committed to making your experience unforgettable. We want to take a moment to highlight the important role that tipping plays in recognizing the hard work and dedication of our tour guides. While tipping is entirely voluntary and based on your satisfaction, it's customary to show appreciation for excellent service with a standard tip of 20% of the tour cost.
​
This not only reflects the quality of the experience but also helps support our guides in their profession.
We understand that tipping customs may vary, and we want you to feel comfortable tipping according to your own satisfaction. Regardless of the amount, your gesture of appreciation is always greatly valued by our team.
We look forward to sharing memorable moments with you!
