Food tour in Olhao -> must do - Esther is a phenomenal tour guide. She provides so much history of Faro, Olhao, and a Portugal AND she finds the best hidden gems. We had so much fun with her that we didn’t want the day to end. From the sweets to the markets to the restaurants to the fish tales, she covered it all! And, she is so fun and knowledgeable! This is a MUST do if you are in Faro or Olhao.
