Where should I park?
Parking can be challenging in Laguna Beach, mainly because most meters have a 3-hour limit. It is because of this that it is not recommend to park at a meter. We recommend parking in an all day lot. There are a couple in the vicinity, the closest one being on Laguna Canyon Rd (133) & Forest. This lot charges $10 during the summer and is 5 blocks from the start of the tour. There is another all-day lot for $10 a day at about 250 Broadway, next to Romeo Cucina. Lot prices are subject to change and often change with seasons. Use caution parking at other all day lots, as many of them have 3 hour limits.
-
Are there any restroom breaks during the tour?
There are restrooms located throughout various locations amongst the tour. We recommend utilizing the restroom prior to the tour to help eliminate interuptions. The first restroom will be pointed out at approximately 45 minutes into the tour, however there are limited stalls at this particular facility.
-
Will there be alcoholic beverages?
There will be two stops where beer & wine tastings are optional at $2-3 per tasting.
-
How much food is served on the tours?
Food Tastings will vary. A tasting is generally a smaller portion to experience the taste of the restaurant. We make amendments to our tour at times, but it typically consists of about 6 tastings.
-
What restaurants will we visit on the tour?
We visit various restaurants that are subject to change. We are eco friendly so we do not print handouts for the tour but we will be happy to email you a list when the tour is finished if you provide your email address.

What if I have dietary restrictions or food allergies?
Please let us know if anyone in your group has a dietary restriction (vegetarian, diabetic, gluten, etc.) when you purchase your tickets. As long as we know well in advance, we will always do our best to accommodate any special needs. While we are able to accommodate vegetarians, we are unable to accommodate Vegans as cheeses and eggs may be an ingredient in some of the items.
-
Are any of your walking tours wheelchair and/or stroller-accessible?
While we love to accommodate all participants, wheelchairs and/or strollers are not recommended on our tours due to the many narrow sidewalks that we walk on, certain staircases that we use when entering establishments, and the very small shops that we visit. However, if you still wish to participate and/or bring strollers, we suggest a small stroller for children, which is easier to fold and store. Please keep in mind that at some stops you will have to take your child out of the stroller and carry them, or have them walk.
-
Is it customary to tip on a tour?
Tipping is customary in the industry but of course not required. First and foremost we want you to have a great time. Tipping is a way to show that the tour guide did a great job. Tips are always very much appreciated!
-
May I bring my dog/pet on the tour?
We understand your furry pet would love the tastings too, however please do not bring your pet on the tour as it may take away from the experience for yourself and others.
