Perfect way to get acquainted with Ponta Delgada - André was an outstanding guide! Knowledgable, entertaining, went the extra mile to make it a great tour. Got to see and learn about most of the city and eat a variety of local foods—perfect way to get acquainted with the Ponta Delgada. Worth every penny, ask for André if you can.

Wonderful Azores food tour. - Besides being able to sample delicious local food, Andrea did an excellent job providing information on the foods we ate, the restaurants we visited as well as history of the island. We tasted foods we would never have ordered at restaurants we would never have discovered. His knowledge and demeanor added to the pleasure of the afternoon. He and his assistant Marcia made the tour a most pleasurable experience.

A fun and informative tour. - The tour not only met, but exceeded our expectations! Fred, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. He provided interesting information about the food and the locales that we visited, as well as history of the city. Beatrice, the assistant, worked efficiently to have everything in place for us at each of our stops. The tastings were such a treat. It was a fun experience and we highly recommend this tour.
