This is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Portuguese culture. The food & wine was delicious and the folkloric group with their dancers, singers, and musicians was an experience of a life time. Their last song was an inclusive participation for anyone in the crowd to join in and dance in the round. So much fun and so mane laughs. An evening to remember.

Thank you very much for a wonderful evening. The traditional Portuguese atmosphere, the show of high quality and the attentive welcome offered us a moment as authentic as memorable. We sincerely feasted and had fun. An address we will keep in mind
Last night we had dinner at this restaurant and the experience was simply exceptional. The show was absolutely magical and the dinner, of remarkable quality, far exceeded our expectations.
Excellent experience with good food, drinks and entertainment. Our guide Marcus was super friendly and informative.
A very enjoyable experience. The food, wine and entertainment were all of good quality. Marco was a very knowledgeable guide, helping us to understand the traditional dancing better, as well as driving us to and from the venue. Recommended.
Very kind person, Always happy and brought gifts to my teachers. He helped you getting out of the mini bus. He's also very careful on the roads !!!
This was truly an experience of a lifetime if you are looking to have a taste of the food, culture and people. The food and drinks were delicious, the dancing was amazing and so lovely, the people were so welcoming. Marco our tour guide was so engaging and informative. Truly a memorable night. Do not miss this tour!
The food and the guide were excellent. The entertainment was fantastic. Instruments that were original and dancing with the whole family.
Marco our driver was fantastic and knowledgeable about the island and the culture. He drove us to the restaurant and made sure to check in with us whilst there. It was a celebratory atmosphere as they were enjoying St Peters day. The food was amazing! I can honestly say it was the tastiest meat we've had on the island! It was so tender and the spices used were mouthwatering. The rest of the meal was equally as delicious. I'm so glad we booked this trip, I would recommend it! Thank you again Marco!
The folk dancers were terrific entertainment and made even better when one of us were grabbed to take part, great food as well so all in all a very good evening.
