Best premiumWhat to check before you book
- Neighbourhood
- Where the tour actually walks. Check it matches what you want to see.
- Number of tastings
- More stops isn't always better, since fewer, bigger tastings can mean less rushing.
- Dietary accommodation
- Confirm vegetarian, vegan, or allergy options before booking if you need them.
- Alcohol inclusion
- Some tours include drinks in the price; others charge separately or skip alcohol entirely.
- Walking distance
- A market-hopping tour covers more ground than a single-venue tasting.
- Start time
- Morning tours tend to be quieter; evening tours often run longer with more tastings.
- Group size
- Smaller groups mean more time with the guide at each stop.
