Relaxing, delicious tapas tasting
Visiting four different, family run venues, where our guide Alessandra and group were welcomed as old friends. We'd definitely never have discovered them left to our own devices and would also not have chosen the variety of tapas and wines we were offered. A gentle walk both through the old town and outside. I don't think anyone wanted to leave at the end of the evening as everyone had enjoyed getting to know each other a bit, the atmosphere was great and we were all feeling very relaxed and well wined and dined!

Amazing food tour, superb host
I had an amazing time with Alessandra. The food and wine were absolutely perfect and there was more than enough to go around. We were only a small group but we had plenty to chat about. Alessandra was very knowledgeable and so easy to get along with. I booked with GetYourGuide but apparently they take a huge cut so next time I will book with Viator.

Must do in Faro
Not quite 5 stara, more like 4.95...It was a great little, local food tour... she customized the tour for a small group and we had a lot of food, with a lot of wine....Alessandra is very knowledgeable about the local food in the area. He has great relationships in the area and she took us to a restaurant that my hotel recommended, saving me some time! She actually allowed for different food/wine options and asked our opinion.... Normally, that doesn't happen on food and wine tours...She is super personable and I wish her well with her new house!

Excellent food, guide, and experience!!
This was a 3-hour Tapas and wine tour in Faro. Walk was about 2km in total, visited 3 restaurants with literally BOTTLES of wine (not just a glass). Fabulous food at each location and more than enough to eat. We had 5 plus Marina and we couldn’t eat all the food they provided! Marina is a fabulous, fun, bubbly tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about Faro, Portugal, wine and food (amazing as she comes from South America!). Excellent hostess, fabulous food, amazing wines and fun. We forcibly ended our tour around 1130pm, having extended it an additional 2 hours! Absolutely recommend this tour and ask for Marina! 10-stars!

Faro fantastico. A tasty treat.
Fantastic.
We don't usually do tours but so glad we booked this.
It was just like a night out with your best friends.
Our host Alessandra was amazing taking us to some great restaurants that you would probably never find.
Now the important bit. Food and drink.
A great selection of very tasty tapas in each restaurant paired with some really great Portuguese wines. We tried some local tapas dishes, both seafood and meat that were to die for. I wish i could remember the names.
The last restaurant was in the old town and was 5 star. A huge selection of wine with the most expensive over €12,000.
An amazing evening with more than enough food and drink.
Thank you Alessandra for a great experience

Fabulous Evening
Fabulous evening and well worth the money. A slight hiccup to start as we didn't get the memo about the starting point being changed but Alesandria (tour guide) called us an Uber to get us to the correct location. We didn't miss anything and was met by a great group of fellow wine tourers which made the tour extra special.
Would recommend this tour, especially if it is Alesandria acting as your guide.

A magical experience
Had such a lovely time on the tapas tour. The group were an absolute hoot and Alessandra was great fun. Highlight has to be, alongside the delicious food and wine, an actual magician who elevated the experience to umm magical proportions. Thank you 🙏 , would definitely recommend.
