Yum! - This food tour was a great choice. The two guides were very friendly and personable. I booked this for my family who had little exposure to Portuguese cuisine and it was a wonderful opportunity for them to experience a highlighted assortment of food. Our guides explained all courses and dishes to us, as well as the history of the area. My family and I greatly enjoyed the entire experience!

Whale done!! - Fred and Katarina were amazing! Although Katarina kept disappearing (but for good reason to arrange the next stop!). Good talks about history and wine and food. Highly recommend for fun, casual short walk with good wines (including a white and red fragrance wine and one of my favorite Pico whites).

Great tour - Fred is great!! He knows a lot so highly recommended. However, we do not find Portuguese cuisine very challenging!. It is a peasant kitchen that is not really to our taste.
