Cultural foodie tour and the best desserts ever. - We have thoroughly enjoyed our gourmet food and wine tour with Hungry Whales. It was full of interesting historical stories, where to eat, and laughter. Our guide and chef were committed to having us sample Azorean wines, dessert wines and fabulous food, both in various locations and at their premises. The chef’s food was outstanding and our guide was full of knowledge and professionalism in everything she did. Thank you for the best cultural foodie tour we have ever had. We wish you all every success in your endeavours.

Wonderful time - Excellent time. The tour guide was very friendly and informative. The wines were delicious and we learned about the history of the island through the tour. The food at the end was delicious, especially a starter food with safflower which was one of the most delicious foods I’ve tasted in a long time.

We would highly recommend this tour - Rafael did a great job introducing the unique history of the Azorean wine and food. We sampled several traditional wines in the walking portion and ended up back at the Hungry Whales for a great dinner along with more Azorean wines.

Food, fun, and local flavor! - Our guide, Fred, gave us a combination of local history and stories, while leading us on a tour of the harbor area of Ponta Delgada. The wine pairings were very different, the various restaurants we visited were unique, and the meal at the end was outstanding. I learned about so much more than JUST wine. It was a nice mix of people on the tour and Fred kept the fun going throughout the night. Several times since then I have told others about the information that I learned on the tour... Food, wine, local history, etc. This was extremely fun!!

Don’t miss this! - Our small group travel club, 20 adults, did the walking tour and food tasting. Raphael was an excellent guide; I learned so much about the history and culture of the Azorean people. It was a beautiful evening for walking , pleasant weather and just enough facts to be interesting. Some tours include too many details that aren’t really interesting to a tourist. The restaurant space was clean, stylish and comfortable. Many food courses with different wines, all produced locally. All the samplings were delicious, courses served within the optimal time frame. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Ponta del Gorda.
