Such an enjoyable 3 hours of walking, drinking and eating - 12 in our group and met in an easy to find spot by the statue in Rossio Square - Sofia was our guide - she was fun and informative and organized everything beautifully - got to try some classic tastes of Portugal in some iconic spots - really enjoyable - delicious drinks and light bites and would highly recommend - thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour of Lisbon with the wonderful Tiago. His knowledge of the city and the tips that he gave us for the rest of our holiday were excellent. Tiago looked after the group which he calls his 'family' incredibly well and pointed out areas off the beaten track that we otherwise would never have discovered. The food and drink stops are well chosen both in terms of letting you see different parts of the city but also as they are diverse in nature, from a speciality deli to a small bar/food outlet frequented mainly by locals, a wine bar and to finish a beautiful courtyard setting with a table prepared for us. We cannot recommend this type of tour highly enough and will definitely do similar tours on future city breaks.
I was drawn to this tour based on the description and my friends and I weren't disappointed. We visited 5 places and enjoyed both food and drink in 4 out of the 5. We were also introduced to different parts of the city. In addition to learning about the food and drink, our guide, Pedro, shared Lisbon history. It truly was an enjoyable 3.5 hours. During the tour, I had asked Pedro if he enjoyed his work and he smiled and said that he did. At our last stop, we sat and chatted with him and the other participants on the tour. As I watched Pedro, his enjoyment was evident. He was interested in sharing more of Lisbon with us but also wanted to know about us and our visit to Lisbon/Portugal. He was as important to the experience as the food and drink.
I absolutely loved this tour! Sofia, our guide, was so sweet and gave us little fun facts about the city, food, and neighborhoods we were in. She suggested photo ops and was accomodating of everyone on the tour. The food at each location was wonderful and paired perfectly with the wine. You could tell everything on the tour was well thought out, but very casual and friendly at the same time. I would absolutely reccomend this tour while in Lisbon!
Loved this tour! We did the tour on our first day in Lisbon and it was a great way to get oriented to the city! Our tour guide Jorge was fantastic! He was very informed, and really was able to show us a lot in a short amount of time! We tried lots of interesting food and drink, while learning details about the city. Would highly recommend!
My sister, 22 year old daughter, and I loved our food and wine tour with Rebeca. This was a perfect introduction to Lisbon after a long flight. We had a comfortable walk through the Rossio and Bairro Alto quarter of Lisbon, steps from our Airbnb. The tour allowed us to sample small amounts of food, wine, and port with a little history of each. Rebeca was charming and funny. She is a wonderful ambassador to the city. If you have a large appetite, you'll easily be able to pop into a cafe after the tour for a more formal dinner as the action is just getting started by the time you finish!
