Lovely way to spend an evening in Sao Miguell - I very much enjoyed this tour and would recommend. The food and wines provided were delicious and the tour guides were extremely engaging and provided great nuggets of information about the area of Sao Miguel and the Azores. Would really recommend this tour. I really enjoyed chatting to the other attendees too being a solo traveller and we had some interesting discussions. I would say don't go hungry to the tour though as the portions are not huge and are shared so I left the tour feeling not hungry but not feeling full either.

Great Food and Wine Experience - Highly recommended! Book for the beginning of your stay. We booked our food and wine walking tour with 'Hungry Whales' for the first evening of our stay in Ponta Delgada. This was the best plan ever. It was an introduction to the city, food, culture and history of the island. The small group was greeted by a fun-loving and knowledgeable tour director. The tour was a mix of interesting facts and opportunities to try delicious unique dishes: octopus stew, flaming chorizo, wine tasting, etc. Went back to the ‘Wine and Art’ bar a few times.

Walk and savor the town of Porta Delgado. - We had a wonderful time on our Walking Food tour with Andre. We were a group of 8 people who became friends over the course of 3 hours. Andre was knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this favorable tour to hear about the quaint town and its culinary specialties and history.

A must do, ask for Fred! - Journey with Hungry Whales Tour Company My girfriend and I recently embarked on a culinary adventure with Hungry Whales Tour Company, exploring three exceptional restaurants. Guided by the ever-knowledgeable Fred, our experience was nothing short of outstanding. We highly recommend starting your trip with this exceptional tour! Fred, our guide, effortlessly blended history, humor with gastronomy, enriching our tour with fascinating tales and local insights. His passion for both food and history was contagious, making our journey even more enjoyable. Our group consisted of a mix of a mix of Boston,Chicago, Manchester, and Quebecois Awsome evening! Hungry Whales Tour Company exceeded all expectations. For anyone visiting, this tour is a must-do! Marc and Lou from Gatineau, Quebec

Don’t miss this tour - they are awesome. Worth every penny! - The best way to spend an evening in Ponta. The team knows their wine (and food)! It’s not your typical wine and food tour with cheap wine and to go bites. Don’t miss it!

Phenomenal Tour - Rafael was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable, charismatic, giving, and above all fun! The amount of food, wine, history, and ambiance was perfection. Come hungry and thirsty! I would recommend this tour to all those who want to learn about Azores wine and origins, from someone who knows what they are talking about. Honestly, I would recommend this tour to everyone. Must do if you are in Sao Miguel!
