Had such a great experience with Matilde on our food tour! The food was incredible at places we never would have found on our own, and we learned so much about the cuisine and the Alfama District. This was a highlight of our time in Lisbon!

Raquel was the best guide. We had various food & drinks. It was hard to pick a favorite. We went all through the back streets of Alfama.

Major highlight of our Portugal trip

Wendy_J, May 2024

Enjoyed all of the food options and the energy of Francisco was perfect! Was a bit late to the tour, and quickly jumped in at first restaurant. Francisco made us feel welcome and didn’t miss a beat. LOVED the Pregos at Al Muralha. Tremendous amount of food and drink - with a little treat and shopping at the end. So fun and would do again!

An excellent tour

Tracy_R, May 2024

Indulging in the Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour in the charming Alfama District was an absolute delight. With an array of delectable treats and 18 tastings, it's an immersive journey into Lisbon's culinary scene. From savory bites to sweet delicacies, every morsel was a burst of flavor that left a lasting impression. The tour not only satisfied our taste buds but also provided invaluable insights into the local food culture. Our fantastic guide, Matilde, was a true gem, sharing not only her knowledge of the cuisine but also offering valuable tips and historical anecdotes along the way. For anyone new to Lisbon, this tour is a must-do, offering a curated experience that introduces you to some of the city's best-kept gastronomic secrets. Highly recommended for an unforgettable culinary adventure!

Do this small group food tour! It’s worth it!

Francisco was an excellent host: welcoming, fun, informative and he made sure everyone heard everything as we walked and tasted. Hard to pick a favorite tasting. All good, all happy in the whole group! That doesn’t always happen!

Memorable experience

Ryan_W, May 2024

Here is a positive review of the Lisbon food tour: Our Lisbon food tour was an absolute delight and one of our highlights of our trip to Portugal! Our knowledgeable and friendly guide took us to several authentic, local spots to sample the best of Lisbon's cuisine. Between food stops, we explored some of Lisbon's most charming neighborhoods like Bairro Alto and Alfama, getting an insider's view thanks to our guide's knowledge and anecdotes. The small group size made for an intimate and unrushed experience. If you're a foodie looking for a fun, tasty introduction to Lisbon's culinary scene and culture, I can't recommend this tour highly enough. You'll discover gems you might not find on your own and gain a whole new appreciation for Portuguese cuisine. Just be sure to arrive hungry - you'll be happily stuffed by the end! The Lisbon food tour is an absolute must-do.

One of the best food tours I have done

Catherine_M, May 2024

I have been on many food tours over the past 20 years and this one, was one of the best. Rachael was amazing. She seemed to go out of her way to get to know each of us individually. The food was of very high quality and great quantity. Wines at various venues were often topped up. Towards the end, she made sure that she connected with each of us about any recommendations she could give us to round out our visit to Lisbon. So GOOD!

Fantastic food tour!
