Private Macau History and Food Tasting Tour

This is a walking tour of Macau's historic centre with a private guide, combined with food tastings. It lasts about five hours, and the listing presents it as a way to see Macau beyond the casinos.

Your guide meets you at your hotel and starts at the Ruins of St. Paul's, a 17th-century Jesuit complex. You continue uphill to Mount Fortress for views over the old city and visit the Macau Museum, which covers Macau's Chinese roots, maritime history and Portuguese colonial past. The tastings follow: silky tofu pudding and fresh soy milk at Rong Kee Tofu, a local shop the listing says is often featured in Michelin food guides, and a Portuguese egg tart. You walk through Senado Square, with its Portuguese mosaic pavement and pastel buildings, to the Leal Senado and the streets nearby, and the tour ends with a photo stop at the New Lisboa Hotel.

An optional sit-down Portuguese lunch or dinner is offered, with dishes the listing names as African chicken, grilled bacalhau, clams in white wine and serradura. The cost of that meal is an optional upgrade and is not in the base price. The price includes the guide, entry to Mount Fortress, the Macau Museum and St. Dominic's Church, and private hotel pickup and drop-off as a package option. The tour ends either with a walk back to Senado Square or with a private transfer, depending on the package you choose. Personal expenses and tips are extra.

Bring comfortable shoes, a camera and some cash. Alcohol and drugs are not allowed. The tour is not suitable for babies under one year or for people over 95.

The operator is CHINA Vistas, and the tour is booked through GetYourGuide with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start. The product page did not show a price when we read it, so the figure on this page comes from the GetYourGuide city listing; confirm it on the booking page.
