Lisbon Awakens: A Culinary Crossroads, Reborn.

Celia was wonderful! She started with a quick and entertaining history of Portugal’s world exploration and its impact on cuisine in the country. The we walked around a beautiful residential height and tried about 8 small bites that illustrated the world influences on the food. Finally we had a meal together at a lovely authentic Portuguese restaurant and then to a bakery for dessert. All the food was excellent and our guide provided interesting and informative context to each bite. I highly recommend this one!

Kika is an incredible guide! She started our tour by explaining the history of Portugal through drawing, which was such a creative and effective way to absorb and understand a lot of information. We explored a less touristy part of the city, where we truly felt like locals and got to experience everyday Lisbon through its morning coffee and lunchtime rituals. We enjoyed an amazing variety of foods, from fresh cheeses and fruit to fish stews, tinned squid, Indian food, candied nuts, and delicious pastries. The group size was perfect, the amount of food was just right, and Kika even managed to avoid too many hills throughout the day! We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the hidden gems of Lisbon and get a genuine feel for the city beyond the typical tourist spots.

We had a great guide, and on top of that, another guide was visiting from another country and joined! The restaurant stops were fun. Such characters! Don't eat much before you go on the tour to have room for the great food and drinks!

Great food, amazing guide who wove the story of the food, Portugal and its history all together.

We had a wonderful food tour with our guide Kika. We got to try traditional Portuguese food while learning history and discovering different areas of the city.

This tour with Kika was a 15 out of 10. It over exceeded our expectations! Not only did we get a wonderful taste of Lisbon, Kika gave us amazing history, religion and cultural lessons of Portugal. We would highly recommend this tour. Try to do the tour on one of your first days in Lisbon as it will bring the rest of your trip to life. Kika also gave us many restaurant and cultural recommendations that we took advantage of throughout our vacation.

Amazing experience. The guide was fantastic with so much knowledge. We went to places we would not have found otherwise.

Wow. Just wow. What an EXCEPTIONAL tour. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Kika is so knowledgeable about not just food but the culture and history that shapes it. You'll see incredible spots (not to mention try some of the best food out there!).

Fantastic tour, great food and conversation, with many unique restaurants we would not have found on our own. We had a great group of fellow travelers we met on the tour that made it even more special. I highly recommend trying their service out!

One of my favorite things I did in Lisbon! Francisca was an amazing tour guide – she showed us so many great spots and hidden gems that showcased the culture and the food was AMAZING. I would have never found these places on my own. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about the culture of both the past and present and provided a realistic, rounded view of Lisbon today. There's a lot of great food on this tour, but it's not just food – it is a great way to learn about much of the history as well. Skip your meal before this tour though and be ready to eat!!!!
