VISIT STYLE: 
. All VISITS are offered in either English, French as well as Italian. Languages can be switched effortlessly at any time. 
. Along our visit walks, whether a jaunt across a park, boulevard strolls, sit down pauses or butterfly stops for snacking, flexibility to make this visit customized is encouraged. Most visits have the possibility of several food-related options for you to pick from. It is left up to your personalized group where you stop or skip ahead.
. Since operational days and hours vary according to establishment, at times, small disappointments may occur. No worry, many more stops to discover along the way.
. Although there is a set itinerary, some flexibility is allocated in order to customize towards your needs. Some adjustments may also occur as some stops may have changed or have become less desirable through time.
. At the end of the visit, several options will be suggested for you to either stay within the area and continue your memorable moment or at least be left off at the nearest Metro (subway) station.


VISIT and DATE SELECTION:
. Any visit will last for a minimum 3 (three) hour duration.  Reasonable leeway time has been worked into the itineraries for strolling and browsing through shops if that's your desire. 
. Once you have chosen your first and/ or second VISIT, please indicate the date desired plus if possible a secondary choice in case your first date has been taken.



MEET UP TIME and LOCATION:
. The 10 A.M. timeline is a general hour which seems to work well for these types of food related visits, especially when wanting to capture the essence of what most shops offer in the earlier part of the day. Fresh out of the oven croissant anyone? That said, the visit can be adapted to your needs within reason. An earlier or later morning departure hour can be discussed before booking. Please, do not hesitate to inquire, it is your visit after all.
. The usual meet up time is the start of your visit, therefore, please show up at least 15 minutes prior. If for some unforeseen reason you find yourself late, a phone call will be required. A telephone number will be provided to you at the moment of confirmed booking.
. Location never changes unless for some reason relating to city work or event, the VISIT has to be re-routed. You will be notified as soon as information is made available.

CHILDREN:  
. Only parents can truly judge their children's maturity, patience and tolerance when deciding if a visit lasting up to 3 (three) hours will keep them interested and well behaved so that the experience remains a pleasurable one. In general, children above the age of 12 usually enjoy and appreciate this style of visit. Please inform if there will be children in your formed group.


RATES ...PAYMENT POLICY and other TERMS:
. RATES are based on a minimum 2 person visit.

Generally, if you do not enjoy the constraints imposed by most group food related tours...
then you will be well served by my  signature visits. 
With very small groups, we get a lot more coverage...more for you to experience.



Looking forward to sharing parts of Montreal with you soon.
