The entrance to the old wall of the city. This is where your tour starts and where you step in to a different era. Most of your food stops are located inside.
The Town's Cathedral inside the old wall that dates back to the 13th century. On the way to the food stops you will pass by it.
Surrounding "Vila Adentro", old town Faro, you will find an ancient fortified wall dating back to roman times, more than two thousands old.
The Episcopal Palace, built at the beginning of the 17th century, is without one of the most representative buildings of the “chão” (plain) style in the Algarve. Close-by you can also take in views of the beautiful Ria Formosa Natural Park.

A wonderful selection of Delicious food and wine. There was lots of food and 3 large glasses of wine. Our hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Amazing food tour! Our guide Sophie made all the difference- she was patient and explained things in great detail and was so open to answering any questions. Such a lovely person! The food was great, despite not eating meat(just seafood) I was still pleased with how the tour accommodated me and ensured I had options when meat was served. We met such nice couples/families on the tour and were thankful to have spent time with such a good group. Would highly recommend this one for a fun few hours out!
Really nice combo of old town history walk and an intro to traditional Portuguese food at three different places. Don't eat lunch - you'll be absolutely stuffed at the end of this. The guide was friendly and fun and very knowledgeable.
We very much enjoyed our Faro food experience. Esther was local, knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful overview of the history of the area as well as the excellent food. A great experience!
Unreliable - Cancelled on the day just few hours before, leaving us having to sort out new plans with barely any notice! Took ages to get our money back...
Loved this tour! It ended up just being my husband and I and we had an amazing time. Our tour guide, Ester, was so fun and knowledgeable. We had some fantastic food and learned about the region, history of Portugal and the food we were eating. Absolutely fantastic experience
Excellent experience. Great combination of good food, information, sights and history. Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate and the group was fun. The food stops were perfect.
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.
This is very much worthwhile. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and the food was excellent! Thank you Esther!
Absolutely wonderful experience. Esther was fantastic and every location chosen served fantastic good and drinks. Portion sizes were very generous as well so be prepared to be full by the end. I went solo, and had a wonderful evening in good company. 5 stars for sure, an absolute must-do in Faro.
