Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Alessandra took us to local, hole in the wall spots that we never would have found on our own. The tour was made all the better by Alessandra’s warm and welcoming personality. This is one of the best things we did in the Algarve. Thank you so much for such a wonderful night!!"
"Our food tour of Faro was a delight. Alessandra was our guide and planned well. The stops were well chosen for location, decor and, of course, the food. The highlight was the finale - the wine tasting at Opus One. Pedro, the sommelier, was not only knowledgeable but also entertaining. It was, by far, the best wine tasting ever - not to be missed."
"We absolutely LOVED Alessandra! She was friendly, smart and kind. She took us to amazing places to try out the best Portuguese cuisine. Her choices were diverse and she included our input onto those choices. We enjoyed all of her well thought out foods! Highly recommend her as your choice for this tour. She k we the city very well and offered multiple options for sight seeing on our own. She was a delight!"
"We had a wonderful time with Alessandra. He took us to the most amazing places and we enjoyed the tastings. She was charming and had I interesting recommendations for our trip. Thank you Alessandra. "
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Alessandra as our guide for the food tour in Faro, and it was undoubtedly the highlight of our holiday in Portugal! From the moment we met her, her warmth and friendliness put us at ease, and we knew we were in for a special experience. Alessandra took the time to understand our preferences, tailoring the tour to ensure we enjoyed every bite and sip. Her passion for food and drink is both obvious and contagious, making the experience even more enjoyable. She also went above and beyond to help us make the most of the rest of our trip in Portugal with excellent recommendations. We can't recommend this tour enough—thank you, Alessandra, for making our holiday unforgettable!"
"Alessandra was an excellent guide, it was an authentic Portuguese experience which included some hidden local places we would never have found. It was also good to try the different wines. A really fun and enjoyable evening."
"Telma was professional and arrived early. She was super company and very knowledgeable about all things Faro. I would recommend her without hesitation. The tour made all the difference to my visit and next time I visit I will definitely book her again!"
"We had a great time with Thelma! She oriented us to the city and introduced us to local food and drink! She also helped us to identify a restaurant to see a performance of Fado (traditional music). Could not recommend more highly!"
"Our time with Telma was most enjoyable and informative. The food was tasty and our chats were interesting. We really enjoyed our time with her. Thanks Telma!"
" Gave this tour as a gift to my parents as a birthday present. Actually, there are two different tours combined into an active morning and a passive afternoon. My parents have their regular places to eat and occasionally try something new. But with a food tour you really eat local food in places where as a tourist you don't know the location or would walk past these eateries. That's why a local guide is so important. The explanation and the stories that are told are also more than worth the money! Telma had suggested at the time of booking to get a birthday cake with candles on it to make this event more special. The staff of the restaurant came to bring this cake while singing. Telma had also promised to FaceTime with me during this event, so that I could congratulate my mother at the right time and see her emotions from this unexpected extra. Here are some tears shed from complete amazement. I owe all this to Telma. A great woman, a great guide, a lady with a fantastic personality."
