At the vibrant crossroads of Lisbon’s cultural life, Praca Luis de Camões honors Portugal’s greatest poet, Luís de Camoes. Surrounded by elegant 18th- and 19th-century buildings, this lively square is where the historic districts of Chiado and Bairro Alto meet. Street performers, locals, and visitors gather here day and night, giving the space an unmistakable buzz. It’s the perfect starting point to feel Lisbon’s artistic soul, where literature, history, and modern city life effortlessly blend.
Step inside Bertrand Bookstore, officially recognized as the world’s oldest operating bookstore, in continuous activity since 1732. With its charming wood-paneled rooms and timeless atmosphere, this literary haven invites you to wander through centuries of stories. Once frequented by some of Portugal’s greatest writers, it remains a sanctuary for book lovers. With books in many languages, the experience of browsing here feels like stepping into living history.
Elegant and intellectual, Chiado is Lisbon’s most refined neighborhood, a place where tradition meets sophistication. Rebuilt after the devastating Chiado fire of 1988, the district now blends historic facades with stylish boutiques, theaters, and cafes. It has long been a gathering place for writers and artists, including Fernando Pessoa, whose presence still lingers in the air. Whether you're shopping, people-watching, or enjoying a coffee, Chiado offers a distinctly cultured Lisbon experience.
Welcome to the beating heart of Lisbon: Rossio Square. Officially known as Praca Dom Pedro IV, this grand square has been the city’s main gathering place for centuries. Its striking wave-patterned cobblestones, baroque fountains, and lively atmosphere make it instantly recognizable. From royal celebrations to revolutions, Rossio has witnessed it all. Today, it’s where locals and travelers mingle amid cafes, theaters, and historic landmarks. It’s Lisbon at its most dynamic and authentic.
Dee was a great guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Lisbon’s food and history. The vegan spots she took us to were all genuinely tasty, and we learned a lot about Lisbon and Portugal along the way. Overall, it was a really solid tour and easy to recommend if you’re looking for good vegan food and some local insight.
Stefan was super nice and very knowledgeable. Vegan food was really tasty!
We couldn’t fault this tour. Simone was so knowledgeable about the history and culture of Lisbon and the food was excellent.
I had an amazing time with Simone! Great vegan local food, not only bites, a lot of food! I highly recommend!
Amazing experience,we had so much fun,learned a lot and had great time. It was one of the best days. We will do it again soon!
Very glad we had this tour especially at the beginning of our stay in Portugal. Not only was the food very good but the guide Jo explained a lot about the city to us. Definitely recommend!!
We absolutely loved this tour! It was the perfect combination of sightseeing, local history, and fantastic vegan food. The organization was excellent, the walking pace was comfortable, and every stop offered something unique. Francisco was exceptional throughout the tour, sharing fascinating stories, hidden local gems, and great recommendations. You can really tell how much he enjoys showing people around Lisbon.
It was a fabulous gastronomic experience, full of incredible places to discover along the entire route. Congratulations to the guide for their hospitality, from the reception to the end of the tour.

Susana was so sweet and so knowledgable! I appreciate her so much and would definitely book again!
Susanna was absolutely amazing. So knowledgeable of the history and the food was great! I learned so much and had a wonderful time seeing the city.
We did the tour with guide João and had an absolutely amazing time! The food spots that where shown where very delicious, and it was great to get a taste of authentic portuguese dishes, but vegan. The cultural and historical spots were just as interesting, and our guide didn’t disappoint when it came to knowledge and facts about the history of Lisbon. He was able to answer all of our questions, no matter how historically niche they might have been - one could really feel how much interest and fun he has himself in the topic. The tour is worth every penny, and thanks again João for the great experience! PS: planning the route so that you only walk downhill or on even ground, and almost never up the hills of Lisbon, was also very thoughtful!
I had an amazing tour through Lisbon with Miguel! It was a really cool experience, a lot of fun, and the food was absolutely delicious. Miguel was very friendly and made the whole tour enjoyable and interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon!
Miguel was a fantastic tourguide and shared all the little details with us. We had so much fun together.

Great tour, 3h flew by. Our guide João was super friendly and very knowledgeable, answering all our questions and telling us about Lisbon life and history. Food was great, we loved that they did a vegan-friendly take on Portuguese traditional dishes, so we got a taste of the culture.
Thos was very informative and interesting! Joao was knowledgeable and could answer any question I asked as well as providing A LOT of information about Lisbon, Portugal and the food we ate. HIGHLY recommend!

The gastronomic tour was wonderful, incredible places with a lot of tradition; you feel the culture from the moment you arrive, the kindness of the people, the cordiality with which they accompany you to discover more of their traditions made it a great experience for me. Thank you very much
Having a typical Portuguese gastronomic experience respecting my food choices was amazing. Learning more about history and culture through food is something very immersive. I am very happy to have found such an inclusive option
Great experience! I recommend the tour and the company! They were very attentive, in addition to the content and learning the gastronomic tour was wonderful!
