Experience the best of
Faro with Withlocals

"Telma is an absolute pleasure- we learned a lot about Faro and local customs. Be sure to ask for restaurant recommendations as Telma knows. Highly recommend a tour or even two with Telma! "

"Our time with Telma was most enjoyable and informative. The food was tasty and our chats were interesting. We really enjoyed our time with her. Thanks Telma!"

" 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."

" 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."

"We loved our time on the food tour and all the special attention we received. We would highly recommend this for anyone interested in trying new things and having a local show you around Faro. "

"Telma showed us delicious and interesting local dishes that we hadn't tried in our previous 3 weeks in Portugal. She was knowledgeable about the area and it's history. It was a great experience. The original guide we booked was ill so Telma stepped in and worked around her busy schedule to guide us. "

"I had a wonderful city tour! Telma is very friendly. She explained history and showed me the highlights. I loved we ended with a drink and a yummy dessert from Portugal. I would Telma to tour city. She even showed me a local spot for dinner which was amazing!"

"Monica was amazing! She waited got us and tailored to tour to our wants. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and very authentic."

"Telma is very personable with her passion for Faro showing through. We learned about her culture and history of the Portuguese. We feel she went above and beyond with recommendations of how to get along in The Algarve."

"Telma was prepared, organized, creative and authentic. Her mix of local and historic foods and drinks, supported by her impeccable taste and fluent English made for a perfect day. We would request her again if we come back to Portugal. "
