Best guides - Sofia was the best, she knew so much about the area not just about the foods. The pace was just right, we never felt rushed.

Amazing! - Our guide Ester was knowledgeable and very friendly. She went over the top to see everyone was enjoying the food and experience. The food was plentiful and delicious. Ester explained the history of each dish and there was plenty to drink. So much fun!!

Very positive and delicious - Sophia was an amazing host. We tried many excellent dishes that I would likely not have thought of asking for on my own. Sophia provided an in depth explanation of the traditions behind many of the dishes and helpful guidance about the particularities of the places we visited. I also appreciated her very cheerful and positive demeanor. And suggestions for things to do and places to go near Lagos.

Enjoyable afternoon with Sophia - We enjoyed a not overly taxing walk through old Lagos with Sophia. She took us through the Mercado and to delicious hole-in-the-wall places where we sampled a variety of local dishes. She is very knowledgeable and speaks great English; we enjoyed sharing the day with her.

Great seafood variety! - Food was good. Got to try a lot of food we wouldn’t have ate if it wasn’t for the food tour! Fun experience, but left a little hungry.

Good tour but overpriced - Our guide, Sophia, was wonderful, very informative, engaging and spent her time making sure everyone in the group was included and felt welcome. We stopped at 3 establishments and were introduced to a number of authentic Portuguese dishes. My wife found the wine at two of the three places good but the other one was very poor. I am a beer drinker and all you receive is a small glass of beer at each restaurant. Overall we don't think the value we received was anywhere near what the cost of the tour was. That was disappointing.
