Awesome Food Experience - Outstanding experience with our tour guide André! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and outgoing. While the food was outstanding, our guide was the highlight of the experience. He clearly knew his way around town and all of the local vendors and restaurant staff. If you are thinking about doing this tour, do it, and ask for André!

One of the best Food Tours. - Fred was outstanding and very knowledgeable about your island and country. We have learned so much and enjoyed every minute of the tour. We have been on so many food tours, and my wife and I believe this was one of the best. He should be given a raise, not just because of his knowledgeable and kindness, but he truly cares about the people of this country as well as his tourists.

Ponta Delgado food tour - Plenty to eat - quantity and variety! Excellent history. Fred is the best!!!! Maybe next time there could be a beef choice only because of the magnitude of cows on the island.

Excellent introduction to Azorean food - Our guide Nadja was great. The explanations of the islands history interspersed with many stops for unique food experiences were excellent. They put together a diverse experience of many different types of food. They were also able to accommodate my husband's celiac disease.
