Faro Old Town Food Tour (10 tastings)

The Faro Old Town Food Tour is a small-group walking tour run by Eat Drink Discover - Food Tours Algarve, a company that organises food walks in several Algarve towns. The listing is distributed through the ByFood booking platform, and the operator's own track record is not stated on the page, so the length of time it has been running cannot be confirmed here. The walk starts in the evening, with a listed start time of 18:00, at the Arco da Vila, the neoclassical gateway on Rua da Misericórdia that leads into the walled Cidade Velha of Faro in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. From there a local guide leads the group through the old town's cobbled lanes, past the cathedral quarter and the old wall, and finishes near Jardim Manuel Bivar, the garden beside the marina front. The format is about 10 tastings spread across four local venues, with one drink served at each stop, so the pace is a relaxed three-hour stroll with a sit-down at every stop rather than continuous walking. The tastings are Portuguese in character and are paired with local wine, beer and other drinks; the listing does not break the food down into a fixed savoury and sweet split, so visitors should expect mostly savoury plates with the possibility of a sweet course. Included are the tastings, one drink at each stop and the services of the guide. Not included are hotel pick-up, extra food and drinks beyond the set tastings, and gratuities. The listing states that vegetarian and vegan options are not included, which means anyone with dietary restrictions should contact the operator through the booking page before reserving rather than assume substitutions are possible. Groups are described as small, though no exact cap is given. Resale sites list the tour at about €90 per adult, and the operator's page should be checked for the current price. Parking is available near the old wall for those arriving by car, and the old town is a short walk from Faro's train and bus stations.
