We loved this! Sofia was wonderful! She was very pleasant to spend 3 hours with. She blended historical, scientific and relevant information in a very captivating manner. The food was unique and excellent and each restaurant was totally different. One of our members is a vegetarian and she took very good care of her. It was very worth the money and the time flew by!

We loved this food tour! We did it the first night in Lagos and it was fabulous. Such a great way to start our stay. We highly recommend it!

Foodies rejoice

Pam_L, Jun 2025
This was a fantastic foodie experience. There was a trip to the market first, bit of an infomercial but the products were great. We visited 3 restaurants, 2 of which looked like real local hangouts! There were only 8 on the tour so was great with such a small group. Our guide, Joao, was well informed and funny. The food was really really good. I can't say enough about how great this was.

Foodie fun
