a love of chocolate!
9. Do

No, but
it's a good idea to.
10.
Is it suitable for children?
The tours
are aimed at adults but children can join in if they are accompanied
by adults. The longest distance we walk between shops takes about
fifteen minutes.
11.
Are there additional costs?
Nope,
a travel card is advised because not all routes are circular.
.
But...
You will probably want to take advantage of the discounts arranged
just for members of the tour so you can keep enjoying your favourites
in the days to come, or give gifts to absent friends.
Gratuities
to your guide are optional.
12.
What happens if it rains/snows/is really hot?
The tours
will run regardless of weather (national disasters pending!) London
is gorgeous every time of year! If it's hot we can probably try
chocolate ice drinks, or chocolate ice cream, if it snows our
hot chocolate break will warm you up.
We do suggest you bring appropriate clothes for the weather, and
an umbrella if you think it will rain.
13.
What happens if I can't make it?
With at
least three weeks notice you rearrange free of charge.
Between three weeks and 48 hours before the tour there will be
a £5 fee to reschedule.
Less than 48hours before the tour there is no refund available
but you will receive a 10% discount if you decide to rebook.
14.
