Belém tour with Claudia

My friends and I are really pleased with the tour provided by Claudia Not gonna lie we were mainly there to taste the famous and OG Pastella de Belèm, but we got so much more. With each monuments and places that we visited, she gave us the history of the city. She was funny and passionate. She even made it possible that we could visit the kitchen where they made their famous egg custard. It is worth it to taste it. Thank you Claudia! We had a great time.
