Our guides were very knowledgable about the island and told us lots about its history. It was a varied tour, with a walk around key sites, a trip to the convent/natural history museum and of course lots of food. We went away very full and happy.
A great tasting learning experience!

Excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We did a food tour with Raphael on a Sunday afternoon and it was a great experience. Wonderful tour of the city and we were able to visit churches and monasteries that were not on our radar. We saw parts of the city we did not know existed. Raphael was very knowledgable and was willing to answer any and all question. His passion for the Azores was palpable. The grande finale was an amazing lunch with seafood and steak and lots (and lots!) of wine. I very highly recommend this tour.
