    Cancellations made up to 48 hours before the experience receive a full refund. Within 48 hours, bookings are non-refundable.

    Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended for walking tours. For tastings and events, smart-casual attire is perfect.

  • Do I need to book in advance?

    We strongly recommend booking ahead, as experiences and events often sell out quickly, especially during weekends, festivals, and peak tourist seasons.
