Great food, great tour, lovely evening spent in Lagos - My husband and I really enjoyed our food tour in Lagos. We love all food and particularly want to experience local cuisine, and this tour didn't disappoint. We visited spots that we never would have found ourselves, and our tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable and you could tell really loved her country's food and culture. The fish soup we started with was so good, I would go back for that alone. Another favourite of ours was the razor clams. You are offered a drink at each stop, so we certainly took advantage of enjoying the local wine. You also get to walk around a good portion of Lagos, so good way to view the town as well. Would definitely recommend this your for a lovely evening spent in Lagos.

Highly recommend this tour - Wonderful way to experience the local Portuguese cuisine and learn some local history. Our tour guide Sophia was amazing and lots of fun. She took us to four unique restaurants where we were able to try authentic Portuguese dishes that we may not have tried if we were on our own. Everything was delicious! We revisited one of the restaurants for a full meal, we were not disappointed. Highly recommend planning this tour at the start of your trip so you can revisit your favorite spot. Thank you, Sophia, for a wonderful evening, interesting conversation, and great company!

Amazing and tasty experience - João was an amazing host and guide. Fantastic tour with incredible food and lots of interesting information about the local area. We got to try some real local delicacies and everything was delicious. We had our young daughter with us and João went out of his way to make sure she was happy and we had what we needed. Would 100% recommend this tour for families.

Fantastic - we were so lucky as it was only my husband and I on the tour. Joelle was fantastic even though he was up all night with a bad sciatic nerve! Food was great and we reallly enjoyed our time. Joelle was so kind and didn't rush anything. It was great!
