We booked this tour with Monica for our first evening in Faro. She met us promptly at the designated meeting point and started by asking what sort of tour/food/drink we would like. We said we'd like to find out a bit about the history and the main things to see/do in Faro. She was brilliant! We had some lovely food & drinks, we saw the sunset from a great bar, and she walked us around and showed us some key points of interest. She went over and above, and although the tour was supposed to be 2.5 hours, we were with her for over 3! Thank you Monica xxGreat tour by Monica!

Our party of 4 was delighted with the experience that Alessandra provided. From arranging for an Uber to pick us up after we got lost trying to find the meeting spot, to making sure our individual preferences were honored at the different restaurants, she was charming, knowledgeable and accommodating. It was a memorable afternoon and the highlight of our time in the Algarve to that point. Very highly recommended!Best time ever!

During a short trip to Faro we spent a lovely afternoon in the company of Telma learning about the history, culture and food from the area. We enjoyed loads of different dishes, which is definitely a positive, and there was enough for a picnic lunch the following day. Telma was entertaining and interesting and very kindly supplied us with restaurant recommendations for the rest of our trip. We would definitely recommend the tour with Telma to others.Telma's food tour

Unfortunately the weather was poor. Monica’s knowledge was ok. It lacked depth in history of Faro, the buildings and Portugal in general. Sadly Monica did not know most of the buildings were closed so a lot of locked doors and some aimless wandering. We had to wait for Monica to arrive and we cut the tour short after 1hour 45 minutes because there seemed no more to do. For future tours please know what is possible to do on that given day. More knowledge & planning would be better

Telma war eine großartige Gadtgeberin für unsere Gruppe. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt mit ihr. Die Kostproben waren sehr vielfältig und großzügig bemessen. Es war für alle etwas dabei und es gab zusätzlich viele Snacks zum Mitnehmen. Telma hat uns einen guten Überblick über Faro vermittelt und war eine lebhafte und humorvolle Führerin. Vielen lieben Dank und alles Gute, Telma!Tolle Foodtour in Faro

Our food tour of Faro was a delight. Alessandra was our guide and planned well. The stops were well chosen for location, decor and, of course, the food. The highlight was the finale - the wine tasting at Opus One. Pedro, the sommelier, was not only knowledgeable but also entertaining. It was, by far, the best wine tasting ever - not to be missed.Faro and food - terrific together

Monica is a wonderfull guide. Lots of of stories about the history of Faro. Interested in culture, she showed us nice places to visit with music, art and good food. I will recoment her to others. One thing she needs to keep working on is her english. But over all: we loved her. Sacha and the rest.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Alessandra as our guide for the food tour in Faro, and it was undoubtedly the highlight of our holiday in Portugal! From the moment we met her, her warmth and friendliness put us at ease, and we knew we were in for a special experience. Alessandra took the time to understand our preferences, tailoring the tour to ensure we enjoyed every bite and sip. Her passion for food and drink is both obvious and contagious, making the experience even more enjoyable. She also went above and beyond to help us make the most of the rest of our trip in Portugal with excellent recommendations. We can't recommend this tour enough—thank you, Alessandra, for making our holiday unforgettable!An unforgettable food tour ✨️

We reached out to Telma to see if she could help us navigate our way through the administrative maze at the Finacas department in Faro. While we could have possibly done this ourselves, we wanted a fluent Portuguese local to assist us to insure it went a as smooth as possible. She’s such an enthusiastic and engaging person that when it was finally our turn at the window the administrative person that worked with us was so helpful that it only took us 10 minutes to straighten everything out. We had been dreading taking care of this task but Telma made it painless. If you’re looking for a tour I’m sure she would be fantastic, but if you’re looking for someone to help you navigate the maze that is the Portuguese bureaucracy don’t waste another minute, reach out to Telma and let her guide you and teach you. Telma is amazing, kind and knowledgeable

Victória was very nice and tried very hard to be a good guide. She had great enthusiasm and was very friendly. My only issue however with Victória was her knowledge of Faro was less than inspiring. Many questions she answered with " I'm not sure " or " I don't know ". She did not know the population of Faro which I think is a pretty basic question ... Again she was very nice and friendly and enthusiastic but just not very knowledgeable. Faro Tour

Regina is lovely but it was not what we expected for a 'culinary experience'. Unfortunately we had to ask was there going to be any food at the end of the two hours. For 153euros a walk around the local area doesn't seem like good value. We expected to be brought into local bistros/bars to sample port etc. Regina is very nice person but it wasn't the culinary experience we expected or good value unfortunately.Not culinary unfortunately

Onze host Regina was uiterst vriendelijk. Helaas was haar Engels niet voldoende om ons te informeren over de stad Faro. We waren in de markthal gestart en daar wezen ze wat fruit aan en was vis. Maar ja, dat kennen we als Nederlandse ook. Tevens was er een 2e persoon bij voor Social media en foto’s. Dit was beter geweest om voorafgaand te verzoeken en niet aan de start van de tour. Dus weinig uitleg, ook niet bij het 1e restaurant. Regina en Lucas gingen weg en waren na een half uur weer terug Dit verwacht je niet van een culinaire tour. Van daaruit via de haven weer naar het centrum terug waar we bij een koffiezaakje gingen zitten. Regina en Lucas namen afscheid van ons en gelukkig maakte de serveerster het helemaal goed qua uitleg. Die was erg professioneel. Enigszins teleurstellend

I am visiting a friend from Scotland who now lives in Portugal. It was great to have a tour just the two of us it was very much appreciated that Monica was able to come at very last minute. She was very friendly and was able to tell us all about the history and the buildings which we were interested in. She was also a very good listener as we were walking about and showed us places of interest to visit in future. My friend has Australian visitors this summer and she would consider this tour with them as it was so professional and intimate. I was happy to pay the price for the two of us as we do not see each other so often now but even better value if there is four of you.Friendly Faro

Monica was a great guide. Despite it being Easter she designed a great walk through Faro, educating us to the history and the myths. The walk ended at a local restaurant where we enjoyed tradition tapas and shared plates. When Monica didn’t know the answer to one of our questions (which was very rare) she didn’t try to make up an answer but just said she didn’t know and would have to look it up. We would certainly recommend a tour with Monica Faro at Esster

Our tour started in the rain as we met up with our guide Thelma who sheltered us with an umbrella into the market, we were treated to new and unusual but tasty treats at several stalls, Thelma was very knowledgeable in explaining everything. We had a lovely lunch and the sun came out in time for our walking tour. It was terrific, Thelma was so well versed in the history and was also so much fun. We stopped in bakeries and cafes. At the conclusion of our tour Thelma even called our driver to assure we were picked up. We would highly recommend Thelma for your tour and tasting in Faro. Delightful!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Telma on WithLocals who helped organise a really special proposal for me and my partner.

She went above and beyond for us and this is something we will never forget and this is thanks to Telma! We would love to come back and take Telma out for a drink or even host her here in Scotland. Thanks again for a wonderful moment.Special Proposal

Gave this tour as a gift to my parents as a birthday present. Actually, there are two different tours combined into an active morning and a passive afternoon. My parents have their regular places to eat and occasionally try something new. But with a food tour you really eat local food in places where as a tourist you don't know the location or would walk past these eateries. That's why a local guide is so important. The explanation and the stories that are told are also more than worth the money! Telma had suggested at the time of booking to get a birthday cake with candles on it to make this event more special. The staff of the restaurant came to bring this cake while singing. Telma had also promised to FaceTime with me during this event, so that I could congratulate my mother at the right time and see her emotions from this unexpected extra. Here are some tears shed from complete amazement. I owe all this to Telma. A great woman, a great guide, a lady with a fantastic personality.Food with a lovely twist

Everything neatly arranged with Telma, a very friendly woman, to give this tour to my parents as a birthday present and for all that a mother has done during the education of a child. They immigrated to Faro some time ago. They know the fixed places in Faro. But Telma showed Faro from a totally different angle, showing places they had never been. Stories told about Faro that they had never read or heard about before. My parents were so positively affected that they are still talking about their experience months later. But much more about Telma's friendliness and personality. Telma is nothing but a guide. This lady is passionate and empirical.The new way to visit Faro

We booked a ‘personalized’ tour with a tour guide that we chose based on the ratings and then right before the tour we were given a different tour guide. Our ‘new’ guide also changed the meeting spot and wasn’t able to find us sitting right outside the front door - therefore starting the tour 5 minutes late. We paid a ‘Ton’ of money for 10 tastings and 2 private local wineries as well as hidden Jems. For our 10 tastings we literally sat at a restaurant while our tour guide wasted a ton of time ordering different food for us to share and a jug of wine while she talked about her personal life. We then walked o we to a castle (where we paid our own way) and roamed around this castle. That was it! That’s all we got for €430 euro. Save yourself and do your own research. Much more exciting and much less expensive. This company is a scam.

Telma is born to do this. She is very enthusiastic and tells with passion about Faro. I recommend Telma as your tourguide. The 8 is for Telma. If we could rate the tour, we would give it a 3. The description of the tour does not match the actual tour. We only stopped at 1 restaurant and that is why we think the price for this tour is not right.Great host
