    Walking through Old Town Faro with Ester and six of us. She was awesome, super informative about the town and its history. Took us to three restaurants and local shops. Tasted lots of local food and drink. Ester is fun, friendly and warm. We all made friends and exchanged contact info, great group and great tour guide.

    Este was very professional and knowledgable about Faro she was passionate about portugese food and history it was a pleasure to get to know her she took us to great places to eat sharing her knowledge of the dishes i even booked in for a night of Fado and food at one called Pica Pau

    Faro Food Tour - highly recommended

    We had a lovely time wandering around Faro with Ester. Whilst it is a walking tour it was a very leisurely pace and not strenuous at all. We learnt a lot about the history of the city, local culture and the food. Ester took us to three quite different restaurants and were served a wide range of delicious dishes which catered to all tastes. The Fado singing ( Thursday night) was a real surprise and highlight. We would highly recommend this tour. Thank you

    Great tour

    On Feb 4 we took a food and wine tour with our guide Ester. It was outstanding. She was engaging and has a great personality. We had a nice walk through the old town of Faro, and she provided some interesting and historical information about Faro and Portugal. We went to three excellent restaurants. (So good we went back later to one of them during our stay). We had several tapas meals of traditional Portuguese dishes and beverages. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get to know about Faro and Portuguese dining and drinks. Excellent.

    Enjoyable😊👍!

    Great food inFaro

    Ester was very knowledgeable, there were a few snags with seating and food accomodation and she had the corrected immediately!

    Slightly disappointed overall

    Yvonne_C, Sep 2024
    The guide was friendly and gave some background/historical information but not as much as I’ve experienced in other destinations. Some of the food was exceptionally good but some was mediocre and it was quite repetitive. Overall we were disappointed, having experienced some excellent food and drink walking tours sold by Viator in other destinations.

    Great tour with history and good food! Nice small group that gave everyone the opportunity to get to know a little about each other.

    Great food and great experience!

    Orna_P, Sep 2024
    Big thank you to Esther for a memorable experience! Very much enjoyed this tour, Esther is so knowledgeable about the area and the food she chose for us was delicious. I really wanted to try local dishes - things I wouldn't know to order and Esther didn't disappoint. Would highly recommend this tour!

    A Great Way to Spend Time in Faro

    Our food tour with Ester was incredible! She gave us a great history tour of the city along with our food tour. Each stop was unique and we loved all of the food. We took our 15-year old and Ester inspired him to try things he normally would not. She has many contacts throughout the city and everyone seems delighted to see her. That was fun! She also gave us many recommendations for activities to do while in Faro and other foods to try. I would recommend booking this!

    More food than you can eat!!

    Food was amazing. And plentiful. Taken to 3 completely different restaurants. Atmosphere at each was totally different from the others which was pleasant to experience. Guide was knowledgeable about local history. We learned quite a bit.

    Faro, food & drinks

    Nigel_A, Apr 2024
    My wife and I joined two other couples and a loan traveller for a great walking tour of Faro. Our guide talked us through the local history as we explored the town. We stopped at four restaurants to taste the local cuisine (food and wine). We were part of a multi national party, it was a great evening.

    A great tour

    Anita_S, Apr 2024
    Ester was amazing. I learned so much about the city and the food and drinks, all with passion and fun. Ester seems to know everyone in the city. I would recommend this tour without hesitation. It's a great way to get to know Faro

    Great tour, great food, great info

    Zeta_K, Mar 2024
    Ate wonderful local specialties and learner about Portuguese history & architecture along the way too. All of the restauranteurs were friendly & welcoming & the tour guide was both fun & informative. Highly recommend!

    Found things we didn't know about

    WJames_W, Sep 2023
    Excellent tour, with a great hostess. We have been in Faro for four days prior to the tour and were shown places we had not yet seen, with great conversations along the way. Highly recommended.

    Go for it

    Lars_C, Apr 2023
    This was a great experience. The guides presented the dishes expertly. It was all very delicious. Join for the food, don't expect emphasis on wines.
