FOOD TOUR IMPORTANT NOTE
ALLERGIES AND DIETARY RESTRICTIONS

By participating in this tour, you confirm that you have disclosed all dietary restrictions and hold Zone Travel harmless. You understand that while accommodations for preferences (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free) will be made where possible, they cannot be guaranteed for all tastings.

You also acknowledge that for safety reasons, life-threatening nut allergies cannot be accommodated, and you are required to contact Zone Travel immediately to discuss any other severe or life-threatening allergy. You accept the unavoidable risk of cross-contamination and agree to the full Terms and Conditions of our vendors. (available here)

Guest safety is our highest priority. It is the guest’s responsibility to inform us of any food allergies or dietary restrictions at the time of booking.
We will make every effort to accommodate guests; however, we can only welcome guests whose severe allergies do not involve ingredients central to the scheduled tastings.

Guests with severe allergies are required to carry their own necessary medication (e.g., EpiPen). For your safety, we cannot accommodate guests with life-threatening allergies to ingredients featured on the tour, and we are strictly unable to accommodate any guests with life-threatening nut allergies. Accommodation for other life-threatening allergies, such as to shellfish, is not guaranteed and is subject to a case-by-case review to ensure no scheduled tastings contain the allergen and that the nature of the allergy does not present a risk.

In situations where we cannot accommodate a life-threatening allergy, single bookings will be cancelled and fully refunded. For group bookings, we may offer a refund for the individual with the allergy, allowing them to accompany the group without participating in the food tastings.

Please be aware that our tour partners operate in kitchens that handle a variety of ingredients. While we and our partners take precautions, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment. Guests with severe allergies must acknowledge and accept the risk of cross-contamination.

Participation in the tour is at your own risk. We strongly advise you to contact us before booking if you have a life-threatening allergy to discuss your specific requirements.

F.A.Q.

What are some general etiquette tips for visiting Germany?

• Greet people with a friendly “Guten Morgen” (good morning) or “Guten Abend” (good evening).

• Being on time is very important. Even a few minutes late can be seen as disrespectful.

• Avoid making jokes about sensitive history, especially related to World War II or the Nazi era

What currency is used in Germany?

Germany uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash for smaller shops, cafés, and taxis.

What is the weather like in november?

November in Germany is typically colder with chances of rain, with daytime temperatures around 6–11°C (43–52°F). Snow is possible but not common except in higher elevations or late November. Overall, it feels chilly and wet, so warm, waterproof clothing is essential.

What should I wear during the walking tours?

Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as you will be walking a lot and some tours included a lot of stairs (like Neuschwanstein). In November the weather is transitioning from fall to winter. Make sure to check the current weather before packing, but make sure to bring jackets / coats.

How to get around germany?

Public transportation in Germany is efficient, reliable, and well-connected, with trains, buses, trams, and subways covering both cities and rural areas. Systems like the Deutsche Bahn make intercity travel easy, while local networks are frequent and punctual.

Can I drink the tap water?

Yes—you can safely drink tap water in Germany. In fact, it’s known for having very high water quality standards, often stricter than bottled water regulations

What is the tipping etiquette in Germany

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. In restaurants, leaving 5-10% of the bill is customary. For taxis, rounding up the fare is common.

CAN I PAY BY ZELLE?

Yes!

We started taking Zelle payments last month and we found this to be a fast and FREE way to pay!
For those who don’t know what Zelle is… it is very much like a wire transfer (but it is not a wire transfer).

Everyone’s bank is different, though, so you may want to call/go in to your local bank and ask to have the maximum amount available to transfer every day.

Example: Some banks only allow $500/day transfer. Other banks will allow $1200/day.

Always be careful when making payments through Zelle to people that you do not know. There is no protection guarantee provided and you cannot reverse the fee.

The Pros for using Zelle:

• It is FREE (no processing fees)!

• It is instantaneous (funds will go directly to Zone Travel- so this is the absolute fastest way to make a payment)

The Cons for using Zelle:

• Every bank is different when it comes to maximum amount available to be transferred every day. So, this may mean that you need to make multiple payments to Zone Travel, multiple days in a row.

• It does require an app download onto your phone, and you need to set up your account with your bank information.

CAN I PAY BY CHECK?

Yes!

If you would like to avoid the 4% credit card processing fees, you may pay by check.
It is very important that you pay in advance of the deadlines and allow ample time for delivery.

Payments received after the deadline could result in cancelation of your reservation or increased fees.

There are two ways to pay by check:

• Mail the check

• Deposit directly at a local branch
