We begin in Largo de São Domingos, next to Rossio Square, with a taste of the iconic ginjinha — a cherry liqueur served at the oldest ginjinha bar in Lisbon, open since 1840. After that, we visit a traditional tavern, one of the last in the city center, to try pastel de bacalhau paired with a glass of Vinho Verde. A stop for a bifana follows — the spicy marinated pork sandwich locals call one of the best in Lisbon. At a nearby viewpoint, we flame chouriço à bombeiro in a clay dish and share it with regional wine. To finish, the city’s sweetest classic — the pastel de nata.
Sofia was a great guide. The food tour was well-curated with mixture of food spots popular to tourists and places locals frequent to. We were also given an up close experience of how food is prepared get an understanding of how food is intertwined with their culture. Definitely a tour worth taking if you’re around Lisbon area
This was probably one of the best private tours I’ve been on in Europe! I went with my husband, mom and sister, all of us agreed it was the best. Sofia is extremely funny, easy going and a joy to spend the day with! I don’t think we had an awkward moment in conversation once! We laughed, ate and drank as if we were all old friends! she was extremely accommodating when we told her we had plans the morning of in a different part of Lisbon that we had planned and completely customized the tour to that part of the city. And it did not disappoint!! She took us to all different places, local places for sure that were filled with good food and character. Even had history points, along with beautiful view points as we walked to our next restaurant. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city & the people who made it was it is. If you want an EXCELLENT TOUR with great food, drinks and company ~BOOK WITH SOFIA!!!
Sofia did an excellent job showing us the local culture and food experience on our first day in Lisbon. It was like experiencing the town with a local resident. Excellent food and drink stops with local culture knowledge.
What a night! What a tour, great company and food! Spend my 50th birthday with Sophia and her food tour and can't think of a better way to do it. We had a fantastic evening with great food and drinks in the most fantastic spaces. Can't think of better way to enjoy authentic local delicacies. Great fun and a night full of joy and belly aching laughter. Thank you Sophia, you were fantastic.
Sofia is a great tour guide! I loved the tour so much that I went twice during my trip to Lisbon. The food was diverse and unique, and we also got to explore the city on foot in between each restaurant. Sofia is knowledgeable about the history of both the food and the city, and I learned a lot about the culture and heritage of Lisbon. Saúde!
Absolutely loved this tour with Sofia! We discovered hidden culinary gems, tasted incredible Portuguese dishes, and learned so much about Lisbon’s history. What truly made this tour stand out was Sofia’s warmth and enthusiasm. She genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for everyone!
Sofia went out of her way to show me traditional foods around Lisbon and made sure I had a good time. Get your ticket ASAP!!
Sofia was a great tour guide and we learned so much about Lisbon and ate SO MUCH FOOD!! Highly recommend this tour! Thank you!
Where to even begin? Sophia has crafted such a magical experience in this tour. We started as strangers and left the tour as friends with full bellies and warm hearts. Sophia was amazing with our 11 & 13 year old children and kept them engaged - even our slightly fussy child. I could go on and on but this was the singular best travel experience we have ever had and we hope to someday be able to return the favor for Sophia in our home city of New York. Book this tour now.
Sophia was fantastic and very knowledgeable of the city. She gave great recommendations and took us to the best places to eat/drink. We’ve been here for a week before the tour and we had the best good and drinks when we were on her tour! Highly recommended!
I had a wonderful evening in a group of 7 people with Sofia. She was very knowledgeable, very entertaining and took us on a voyage of discovery of the food and drinks of the region. I could not have eaten more and it was all very tasty, in a variety of locations, some small, some larger. We had such a great time and I could not recommend this more highly. Worth every penny.
The trip was fantastic! We saw many amazing places and got to try many different food options that were great! Extremely worth it when in Portugal.

Life is about good food, good laughter, and good company, and I found all three on this tour. Sofia is a natural. I enjoyed her personality and her knowledge of the history of Portuguese cuisine, and I savored the food and drink that came my way — all while discovering hidden gems of Lisbon that would have remained secret had I gone about the city on my own.
Amazing tour, great stories and so much food! I was stuffed by the end of full of laughs!! Sofia was very knowledgeable and so pleasant to spend the day with. Highly recommend!

Sofia is an amazing host. Her enthusiasm is contagious. I had a great time discovering and would highly recommend this tour
We had such a great time on this tour with Sofia! She’s full of energy, super friendly, and really knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Her English is excellent, which made everything easy to follow and fun. The route she chose was just perfect, not only beautiful, but it also gave us a real taste of Portuguese culture. You can tell she put a lot of thought into it. We didn’t feel like typical tourists at all, more like locals discovering hidden gems. That´s the kind of experience I look for when I travel. The views were stunning, and the food… wow. Seriously delicious. Everything felt authentic and full of flavor—definitely one of the highlights! Sofia clearly loves what she does, and it shows. This wasn’t just a tour, it was a super fun day with someone passionate about sharing her culture. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something genuine and memorable!
If you are searching for a tour where you can experience true portuguese cuisine outside the typical tourists places this the right choice. The food is great and Sofia is super nice and knowlgedge regarding places. and Lisbon history.
