“I had the pleasure of experiencing a Portimao food tour guided by Isabel, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Isabel's extensive knowledge of local cuisine and her infectious smile made the tour not only informative but incredibly enjoyable. Each restaurant she selected showcased the best of the region's flavors, and her insightful commentary provided valuable insights into the culinary scene. What truly set this tour apart was Isabel's ability to connect with the group, making everyone feel welcome and engaged throughout the day.”

The Almareada Food Tour was a perfect introduction to the many different traditional Portuguese food options that are available in Portimão. I definitely recommend Isabel’s food tour. She made an effort to talk to everyone in the group. She was genuinely interested in all of us. Her passion for Portuguese culture and food is contagious. Do yourself a favor and spend a few hours with Almareada Food Tours and Isabel!”

“This food tour was really fun. I came by myself and was met by a really nice group of people. We visited a few different places and got a really nice mix of old and new Portimão. Some of the spots I would not have even noticed let alone try to eat at. We also enjoyed a variety of foods that were well balanced between venues; a bit of sweet, then savory, some light and some hearty. Some foods I would never have ordered turned out to be absolute standouts. Isabel is a wonderful tour guide. She knows the city well and the food even better. She’s super friendly and easy to talk with. She also knows how to keep things moving without feeling rushed. I absolutely recommend..”
