Ponta delgada food tour - We had a great private experience with our guide. He was knowledgeable about his culture . We walked from the cruise terminal to the market and Main Street. We got to taste their locally grown fruits and cheeses. We had a delicious lunch that included multiple appetizers and main courses. This lasted 4 hours. We learned so much and enjoyed our day in Portugal.

Food, history, and a lot of great local flavor! - Do this tour. Great experience and wonderful value. We did this as our forst event to learn more about Ponte Delgado. Our plane landed early and we could not get into our hotel room, so we opted for this tour to fill the time. We also wanted a tour that told us a bit of history as well as pointed out food And wine of the Azores. Salvador delivered all of that and more - a very authentic food lover, he took us to markets, cheese stores and all the highlights of Ponte Delgado. We finished the tour with a delectable lunch of seafood delights - just. A wonderful day. And by the time we were done, our room was ready. We accomplished all of our goals plus met a new couple of friends. Definitely a 5 star experience.

More than a ride, a meal in good company - We really liked this tour: visit the market, two cheese factories and above all, a good typical meal in a sumptuous Ponta Delgada. Salvatore is generous with information about food but also about the Azores in general. Only downside: announced in French, the activity was conducted in English. It was not a problem for us, but it could be for a uninformed unilingual Francophone.
