What if the schedule doesn't have the date or time I desire? Email your request. We may be able to add a tour.
Where do we meet? We will send our exact meeting location when your booking is confirmed. We'll include subway directions, when appropriate.
Since some markets on the Melting Pot tour are closed on weekends and holidays, do we visit fewer shops and have fewer tastings? No, we visit the same number of shops and have the same amount of tastings. Stores will vary by day.
What if we have dietary restrictions or food allergies? Before booking your tour, check the list of food samples to determine if the tour is right for you. If you have food allergies, which can cause anaphylactic shock, inform the Enthusiastic Gourmet at time of booking.
How far do we walk? We walk 1 1/2-1 3/4 miles on our tours over a 3 hour period.
Is there anywhere to sit down? A few of the shops have benches, but we can't be guaranteed a seat. You can expect to be standing or walking for the entire tour.
Are there bathroom stops? There may be public restrooms available, but they are not guaranteed.
Are these tours appropriate for children? Most children enjoy the tour. However, each child is different. If the previous three questions are not an issue and your children enjoy tasting different foods, the tour is great.
Will we be able to shop? There's usually enough time to purchase items in the stores we visit.
