Private Tours
For private groups running 10 to 15 minutes late past the stated tour start time, the guide may shorten the route at his/her own discretion. The tour is automatically canceled without any refund/rescheduling options if the group fails to show up after 20 minutes have passed since the tour start time.

Tour Participant Conduct
At all times during the tour, you are expected to have consideration for your fellow tour participants and other third parties. For the benefit of everyone, we reserve the right to remove any participant whose conduct is deemed to pose a risk or nuisance to others. We will not refund or cover any cost or expenses incurred due to unacceptable behavior.
Food and Beverage Consumption
All food and beverages consumed during the tour are from third-party establishments (i.e. vendors, cafes, markets, and other related food establishments). We play no role in procuring ingredients or preparing the food/beverages served. We are unable to take any responsibility for any sickness, illness, or injury caused to you or your companions as a result of visiting these establishments or consuming their food and beverages within.
For any experiences which involve procuring ingredients from the market and cooking them for a meal, the guest agrees to take the full liability of the foods consumed and will not hold us or any of our third-party vendors/contractors responsible. You understand, accept, and take full responsibility for the potential risks and hazards of consuming foods and beverages during the tour.

While there is no guarantee of our being able to accommodate any dietary restrictions, we will do our best to do so. In the case of dietary restrictions or allergies, it is imperative that you remind us of the allergy before consuming any food/beverage during the tour, so that we can verify with the food establishment regarding the ingredients.
While we will do our best to see that allergies that have been communicated to us are well taken care of, we cannot take any responsibility for any incidents resulting due to allergies caused to you as a result of food or beverage consumption from third-party vendors during the tour. In the case of any extreme allergies or medical conditions, we reserve the right to request you not to attend and will refund the full price of the ticket booking.
