フード＆ワイン・ウォーキングツアーでリスボンを満喫

David was absolutely fantastic! It went for 5 1/2 hours with David giving many side tours that added insight and provided more fun! Highly recommend! Randolph

I am traveling alone and have done many food tours. Julia was my favorite guide to date. She was so knowledgable about Portuguese history, culture and food. I highly recommend her for a fantastic experience.

Anna was amazing- it was like a casual afternoon with a local friend exploring nooks and cranny's of Biaxa and Mouraria.

It’s a flat walking tour with authentic stops for a drink and food. The knowledge of Anna was super good. Very engaging. Didn’t need an evening meal later.

This Tour is Fantastic!! David is one of the best tour guides we have ever had anywhere in our travels. The small group policy of the 'Lisbon_a_love_affair' tour company allows participants to go to small, privately owned and operated establishments where the food is hand made from the best fresh ingredients, believe me, you can taste the difference. The beverage pairing at each stop along the way was perfect. David personalized every aspect of the tour, with in depth descriptions of what we were about to eat and drink, frequently tying both to their place in the history of Lisbon and Portugal. David also provided descriptions of the town, the buildings, and the people from the history of the area and how that history is relevant to current day. Almost all the food and beverage stops were off the main path of tourism, down small side streets, up narrow paths, and in hidden charming courtyards, known only to the local residents, and now, thanks to David, also known to us. The pace of the tour was very relaxed. We had time at each stop to sip the delicious beverages, enjoy the fresh flavors of the food, and relax with our new found friend in enjoyable conversations. David knows the shop keepers, frequently the business owners themselves, who readily welcomed us with warm smiles and friendly greetings. While a couple of times we arrived at a shop that was being crowded by a larger group, David was able to secure a table for us and get our food and beautifully paired beverage with almost no wait. Within the first few stops we realized that we were being guided by someone who was more than a tour guide but rather more like a very knowledgeable friend who has been a lifelong resident of the area. The pace of the walk was very casual, stopping frequently to show us points of interest and history as we strolled the beautiful side streets and easily missed walkways of the city, discovering and exploring areas free of the hustle and hassle of the big tour groups, with time to really see the local side. For example, we didn't just stop somewhere and get served codcakes and wine, we went up a secluded set of stairs to a small courtyard where we relaxed with a few local residents, enjoyed the beautiful day, and we're served fresh codcakes and wonderful Green Wine, which was itself a unique treat. Before arriving at this location we had stopped at a small market that sold seafood and of course Cod. It was here that David described the process of catching, preserving and preparing the Cod fish. Our heartfelt Thanks to David and his wife Dr. Crisci whom he credits with creating the Lisbon Culture Food and Wine Walking Tour, it is a special part of our Lisbon experience and a very compelling reason for us to return to this mecca of Delicious food, Wonderful Wine, Beer, Liquor, and a new appreciation of elegant Port. This is an amazing way to spend part of one day and get an intimate experience of information, food, and beverages.

Delightful experience. It is a sublime way to appreciate the history and food typical of the Portuguese of the city and the influences arrived from elsewhere.

David was a delightful companion, sharing a variety of fun and interesting (not to mention very tasty!) aspects of Lisbon. He had many stories to share as we munched and sipped our way around the city. Such a pleasant way to spend an afternoon with friends!

We had a fantastic time exploring the heart of Lisbon with David. His perspective on the city and its history really made Lisbon come alive for our family. We would definitely book again and highly recommend David’s tour for anyone who likes to learn about the city through its food and drink.

David was an exceptional guide. You could tell that he is passionate about what he does and thoroughly enjoys sharing pieces of his city. I was the only guest who signed up. Most other tour companies would have cancelled on me but we carried on and I enjoyed it very much.

Luis was our guide and we had a fantastic afternoon. We learned a lot, not only about foods and drinks of Lisbon, but of Lisbon in general. We went to places that we would not have found on our own and everything we had was delicious. I would definitely recommend Luis and this food tour.
