Wonderful tour. Just book it.

Excellent in all categories.
Food was amazing and interesting.
Tour of the market place was way more than I expected. The tour guide (Marco) was well versed on the food origins and preparation and it was fabulous.
Marco was also well versed on the history of the islands! This was a food and as it turns out a city tour in one.
Thank you guys for a great day .

Do not hesitate: Great food, great guides and a city tour!
Thomas_R, October 2026
More than a food tour (which was wonderful), it s also a walking tour of Ponta delgada. We learned a lot about the island, the people and history. Our guide Marco was well versed and answered every question. Then, the food: Excellent. Marco had an assistant who went a head to the next food stop to order food and have our table waiting. When we arrived, we sat immediately and were provided sampling of wonder Azorian dishes. No disappointments at all.
Also, the meeting place by the city gates were impossible to miss and an easy, easy walk from the cruise terminal.
5 stars everywhere...
