Good questions about this tour
Are there vegetarian or vegan options on the food tour?
Yes, vegetarian and vegan options are absolutely available. Just let us know in advance, or mention it to your guide at the start of the tour, and we'll adjust the dish selection to suit you.
What about food allergies or a sensitive stomach?
Your guide will ask about any allergies and dietary restrictions before you start eating, so you can flag anything to avoid. That said, this tour does involve genuine street food, so if you have a particularly sensitive stomach it's worth weighing up whether it's the right fit.
Isn't Train Street too crowded and overhyped?
It's true that Train Street has become quite touristy at peak times. The tour is flexible, though - if it's too crowded when you arrive, your guide can shuffle the order and bring you back at a quieter moment for the photos.
