Great experience! Andre was knowledgeable, excellent host . Enjoyed this tour more than any we had during our vacation. Cannery was fun and interesting…adventurous! Ferry was great and dinner was delicious. The last stop was magical
I went on this tour with my mom and sister on our second night in Lisbon, and it was such a perfect introduction to the city's food scene. Miguel took us to some great little spots we probably wouldn't have found on our own and answered all our questions about the city. We even took the ferry over to Cacilhas for Portuguese tapas and seafood, and ended up so full and a bit tipsy, it was honestly the best part. I'd highly recommend it!
We had a fantastic food tasting tour with Mariana. She brought us to some really interesting little spots we never would’ve discovered on our own. She made every tasting so much more interesting by talking about the food and its role in Lisbon’s history. She kept the tour moving at a great pace, but we never felt rushed at all. Such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours, and we would highly recommend her.
Wonderful and tasty. Andre catered to our taste and customized the tour so we could have cocktails at sunset before taking the ferry to the fishing village. The restaurant was delicious and well worth it.
We had our best day in Lisbon on this food tour led by Marco. He thoughtfully customized the experience so it matched exactly what we were hoping for, plus a few extra stops he knew we’d love from his own experience. We tasted several truly fantastic dishes and places,and everything felt relaxed and well paced. He really went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed every moment — highly recommend this tour, you won’t regret it.
We had a truly wonderful and engaging tour with Beatris, whose impeccable taste and deep knowledge of Lisbon’s cuisine, architecture, and history made the day exceptional. We loved her humor, stories, and personal touches that brought the city to life. It was our first guided experience, and we’re already planning to do it again — this time, we’ll be asking for Beatriz without hesitation.
Lucas was fantastic, offering us many choices of places to visit based on our interests, and even adjusting the tour to match the type of activities we had planned for the remainder of our holiday. The food was delicious and filling, and the drinks were excellent with more than enough to enjoy. The boat ride and walk through Almada was a very unexpected and pleasant surprise.
we enjoyed a fantastic gastronomic and wine and beverage tour with Paulo. The authentic portuguese dishes and drinks were exceptional, but what really stood out was cruising the Tagus and getting to know a place that we certainly would not have known without this tour. It gave us not only the cuisine but the culture as well. I highly recommend both paulo and this experience.
We had André as our tour guide. It was very fun and we got to see popular streets of Lisbon, learned a lot of history. Tried very delicious wine and seafood. Portugal has left us very impressed with it’s culture and friendliness from everyone. The ferry to Cacilhas was wonderful. Our tour guide was a polyglot which made this tour more interactive and fun to be able learn about Portugal in various languages.
Our evening started with a leisurely stroll through Lisbon, followed by a scenic boat ride to Cacilhas. Luisa was amazing, she shared fascinating stories, and the view of Lisbon from across the river was reaslly beautiful. Finally we ended having lunch in a magic village. Over a really cool experience if you want to live something different in Lisboa. Well done Luisa!
The excursion provided a serene and enjoyable experience, offering a unique perspective of Lisbon and its surroundings. The boat ride on the Tagus to Cacilhas was delightful, with scenic city views. The guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I highly recommend it.
A magical experience! I wanted something special for our anniversary, and I have hit it off. We started in Lisbon and ended the day with a breathtaking sunset in Cacilhas. The boat ride on the Tagus River offered breathtaking views of Lisbon. Our guide, Pedro, was fantastic, sharing anecdotes and history that breathed life into the ville. The food was top-notch, and enjoying wine by the river as the sun set was the perfect end for a perfect day. Not to be missed!!!
André crafted a wonderful walking experience; full of information about Portuguese life, food and culture, with whimsical insights to Lisbon and its people, and the historic narrative and importance of this city. It was all done to suit our pace and well worth every minute! Thank you again André.
The best day of our vacation in Lisbon. Rodrigo, our guide was super attentive and careful in every detail. The boat ride and the walk along the rambla by the river were a great way to work up an appetite, which we quenched at the restaurant with a hearty lunch. An authentic and local experience with a charming person who knows Lisbon like the back of her hand. 5 stars for Rodri and the organization. I recommend
Incredible tour! Every stop was a treasure. We started with the incredible views of the Miradouro de Santa Catarina, tasting the preserves which were a real surprise. The ferry to Cacillhas gave us fantastic views of Lisbon and the Christ, and the walk along the rambla was magical. All backed up by one delight over another. Not to be missed. The organization was perfect and I appreciated the warm and personal touch of Andre, our guide friend. I highly recommend this tour for a lifetime different experience in Lisbon.
Maria's passion for Portuguese culture and gastronomy was contagious, and we left the tour feeling like we had a newfound appreciation for the country. Most recommended
We had an excellent tour guide, it was truly unforgettable experience. The visits to the local bars and tastings of preserved fish and wine were highlights of the tour, as was the dinner in that beautiful restaurant. We learned a lot about Portuguese culture and cuisine from our guide.
