Excellent and great way to see the town - Great tour! Good history and great selection of food and drinks. Pastries, breads, cheese, tea, sausage tasting, great fish and then dessert! The only thing I would recommend is allowing 10-15 min to make purchases at the farmers market.

So much fun! - André was the best guide. He has such an engaging, pleasant, joyful way of presenting the food and the history of the town. We had just come off a one week hike/bike adventure in Sao Miguel with Backroads and thought we heard it all but André taught us a ton of new interesting facts! Favorite part was the farmers market with small cantaloupes and tiny pineapple samples with explanations. YUM!!

Fantastic start to a great trip - Fred was awesome and Bea was great: she made it so that our food was always ready for us. Fred provided a great history lesson as we walked and stopped at key places for us to see. His English was perfect and he even spoke Spanish for my mom. The food was tasty; good introduction to azorean cuisine. There was always at least one option for my picky eater. They were very thoughtful and careful with our Celiac family members too. I would definitely recommend.

Best food tour ever!! - This was by far the best food tour I’ve ever been on in any of my travels. Fred and Andre not only gave us some of the best bites, but also filled it with the history behind those. Each bite that we had seem to only get better. Ended up going back to a few of the spots for meals after the tour, because we enjoyed them so much. Would say that this is an absolute must do tour.
