MAY I BRING MY CHILD WHO IS UNDER 18?

Because we are visiting licensed drinking establishments unfortunately our dining tours are only available for 18+ guests.

However if you are traveling as a family we are happy to create a tailored private dining walk that only includes suitable venues for minors, an earlier start time and a shorter format to ensure an early bedtime friendly time. Please send us an email to discuss options for all areas.

ARE YOU ABLE TO CATER FOR SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS?

Yes as long as you inform us upon confirming your booking, we are able to cater for most dietary requests including: vegetarian, vegan, allergies, gluten intolerance and dairy intolerance. We pre-order the meal so it is tricky but not impossible to change menu options on arrival at the restaurant.

WHAT HAPPENS IF i CANCEL MY BOOKING?

If you cancel your booking more than 7 days before the date agreed we will not charge you a cancellation fee apart from the merchant fees. However a cancellation fee of 50% of the original booking amount total plus the merchant fees will be charged if notice is given less than 7 days prior to booking.

WHAT HAPPENS IF i DON'T SHOW UP FOR the tour?

In the event of a "no show" 100% of the total amount paid will be forfeited.

what should i wear?

Although Sydney is a casual & relaxed city we encourage our guests to dress for dinner as we will be dining in some pretty snazzy places. However if you have lost your luggage or are traveling light its fine to turn-up wearing your best Zara outfit or smart jeans and a shirt.

are your dining tours accessible for people with a disability?

Certainly - as long you let us know in advance - we can choose flat terrain and accessible venues for people with a disability. Just be mindful that the distance between venues is between 5 - 10 minutes of travel so the guest will need to be able to manage this distance comfortably especially if part of a larger group. Alternatively we can arrange to catch Ubers between venues at cost price.

  • Any extra beverages - alcoholic or non-alcoholic - need to be paid for separately from the bill.
