What a fun tour! Great way to see the city and eat some of the local favorites. Our guide, Melissa, was amazing. Kind, knowledgeable and passionate about Lisbon. She even sent us so many more recommendations after the tour! If you’re looking for a way to try all of the most popular foods, this is it. My husband and I like to explore as opposed to taking a lot of structured tours and this was a perfect balance for us - had a structure with a very free flowing, easy feel.
