Great food and great experience! - Big thank you to Esther for a memorable experience! Very much enjoyed this tour, Esther is so knowledgeable about the area and the food she chose for us was delicious. I really wanted to try local dishes - things I wouldn't know to order and Esther didn't disappoint. Would highly recommend this tour!

Great Authentic and Unrivaled Food Experience in Faro - This is the best food tour I’ve experienced in nearly 15 years of consistent travelling. Esther our guide was incredible! From the historical background to the choice of authentic Portuguese dishes, and libations, the tour was phenomenal. Her providing context to each dish and drink was fascinating and enhanced the entire experience. I highly recommend this specific tour several times over. Enjoy!!!

Great food and lovely guide - We had a lovely walk with Esther - great stops with friendly locals and really good food. Plenty and interesting food, some of which we would not have tried on our own. Good food is generally cheap in Faro, nevertheless these qualities of the tour make up for a somewhat pricy cost. Also, Esther is very knowledgable and shared so many interesting facts and stories. She is a most competent guide, including how she balanced giving us time alone to enjoy the food and each other (we were the only 2 people on this tour) with sharing her easy and interesting company.

A Great Way to Spend Time in Faro - Our food tour with Ester was incredible! She gave us a great history tour of the city along with our food tour. Each stop was unique and we loved all of the food. We took our 15-year old and Ester inspired him to try things he normally would not. She has many contacts throughout the city and everyone seems delighted to see her. That was fun! She also gave us many recommendations for activities to do while in Faro and other foods to try. I would recommend booking this!

Slightly disappointed overall - The guide was friendly and gave some background/historical information but not as much as I’ve experienced in other destinations. Some of the food was exceptionally good but some was mediocre and it was quite repetitive. Overall we were disappointed, having experienced some excellent food and drink walking tours sold by Viator in other destinations.

More food than you can eat!! - Food was amazing. And plentiful. Taken to 3 completely different restaurants. Atmosphere at each was totally different from the others which was pleasant to experience. Guide was knowledgeable about local history. We learned quite a bit.

Fun walking food tour - The walking food tour was fun. The restaurants served a variety of Portuguese dishes with wine or beer. We also learned a bit of Faro history. On other food tours we also learned the history behind the food, which would also be interesting.
