Accessibility: The tour’s designed with families in mind; accessibility is at the forefront, ensuring that everyone, regardless of age or ability, gets a piece of the pie—or should I say, patisserie.

Cancellation Policy

When you’re planning to indulge in the delicious pastries and chocolates of Le Marais with the fam, it’s good to know that life happens, and sometimes those plans need to change. We’ve all been there, right? Grabbing that coveted spot on a food tour means you’re all set for a scrumptious adventure. But what if you can’t make it?

The folks running the Paris – Pastry & Chocolate Family Tour in the Marais understand this. They’ve got a cancellation policy that’s pretty straightforward. If you need to cancel, make sure you do it at least 24 hours in advance of the tour’s start time. That’s like making sure you don’t burn the cookies by taking them out of the oven on time. Do this, and you’ll secure yourself a full refund.

Here’s the deal laid out:

• Cancel more than 24 hours before: Full refund
• Cancel less than 24 hours before: No refund (It’s like dropping your chocolate bar in the fountain, not much you can do)

It’s always smart to check the fine print when you book. Mistakes happen—maybe you book the wrong date, or Aunt Sally’s surprise visit clashes with your tour. Just remember to keep an eye on that 24-hour window. Now, in case something goes sideways, you won’t be left wondering what to do.

So there you have it, clear as dark chocolate. Book with peace of mind knowing you can cancel if need be. But here’s hoping you get to enjoy every last morsel of that food tour, eh?
