This was a great activity to visit local restaurants and sample authentic Portuguese food. Our guide, Andy was fantastic and shared history of the various dishes and Portugal! I would highly recommend this tour.
Great food stops that we would have never found on our own. The tour guide was helpful and went above and beyond just a food tour of the city. Would recommend the 10 item choice. The Clams were my favorite.
Fantastic guide and tour! Sonia was very knowledgeable and nice to work with, and she took us to the coolest spots that we would not have found otherwise.
Elisa was an amazing guide for our 6 tastings foodie tour! She reached out to me several days ahead of time to introduce herself and to make a specific meeting plan. She was very personable and likable, and knowledgeable about the foods and beverages we tasted during the tour. She also added so much to the tour by giving us some history and background of the area as we walked to the different restaurants. And, importantly, the foods were so delicious! I would recommend Elisa and this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon!
If you are considering a tour in Lisbon stop looking and book with Angelo. You will have no regrets. We started with the hidden gems tour and were so impressed that we immediately booked a food tasting tour as well. His wealth is knowledge about Lisbjns’s history is truly remarkable, but what makes him exceptional is the way he brings that history to life. His love for Portugal shines through every story he shares, and he has a unique gift for presenting information in a way that is engaging and easy to follow. Angelo is funny, personable and incredibly congenial. Rather than delivering a standard scripted tour, he took the time to learn about our interests and personalized our experiences. If you want an authentic informative and enjoyable experience hire Angelo. It will. Terribly be one of the highlights of your trip!
Carlos was wonderful. He shared his extensive knowledge on Lisbon as well as historical information on Portugal 🇵🇹. The food was delicious and he was able to tailor for no beef or pork. Thank you, Carlos.
Alphe (our guide) was very knowledgeable about Portuguese history, culture, food & wine. He was also a lovely person. I liked the fresh sardines we tried as it was something I had wanted to try. However, I wish that we would’ve visited more places (we only went to two restaurants + one bakery to have paste de nada, which we’d already had), and the food we had was just average (& wasn’t enough!).
Dear Guest, It's wonderful to hear that Alphe made such a warm impression, and we will absolutely pass your kind words on to him. His passion for Portuguese history, culture and food is exactly what a Withlocals experience should feel like. We are sorry the food itself did not live up to expectations. The tastings should feel genuinely exciting and leave you satisfied, and we hear you that this time they fell short of that. Your feedback will be shared with Alphe directly so he can continue to refine the experience. Lisbon has such an extraordinary food scene and we hope you still left with a taste for it. We would love to welcome you back one day for a tour that truly does it justice. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team
Catastrophic, a true scam! Absolutely to be avoided. This culinary tour was a huge disappointment. We hardly ate anything, and the tastings offered were truly mediocre. Yet, there are so many delicious specialties to discover in Portugal! As for the wine, let's not even talk about it... We felt completely mocked. We were promised 6 tastings, but in the end, we had a chickpea salad with cod and a few cod fritters, in insufficient quantity: there wasn't even one per person, and we had to share! Fortunately, the guide was friendly. However, while I had come to share this moment with my friends, he seated me alone at a table while he sat next to my friends. As a result, I could not fully enjoy the experience. In short, a very disappointing visit that I do not recommend at all. For me, it is a scam, and I advise you to avoid it.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that the experience fell so short of what was promised. You raise valid points that we take seriously. The tastings on a food tour should reflect the richness of Portuguese cuisine and be served in quantities that allow everyone in the group to enjoy them properly. From what you describe, that was clearly not the case, and we understand how disappointing that must have been, especially when you were looking forward to discovering local flavours with your friends. We are glad to hear your host was friendly, and we hope that brought some warmth to the afternoon despite everything. Your feedback has been noted and will be passed on to improve the experience for future guests. Lisbon has so much more to offer, and we hope you will give it another chance someday — ideally with a Withlocals experience that truly does it justice. Kind regards, The Withlocals Team
The tour was AMAZING. We walked from the hotel, UPHILL a considerable amount to get to the meeting point. The benefit of starting at one of the highest points in the city is that the entire tour was walking downhill!! Our guide was engaging, enthusiastic and personable. She took us to local places with less than 10 tables each, exactly the local feel we were hoping for. Each stop included wines and foods local to the area, again perfect for our group of 8 world travelers. We had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy the location, foods and beverages, and relax a bit before a leisurely stroll to the next stop. While the total tour was several hours, the vast majority of the time is spend in local places enjoying the wines and foods. Overall, this was a fantastic experience that was well worth the investment.
Joao, our guide was fantastic. We took the tour on Independence Day, so most of the restaurants he usually took travelers to were too full so the second tier restaurants were open but meh. Joao gave us a great tour of the city which introduced to Lisbon.
