Loved the tour and the guide was super informative and friendly and made it easy to engage with others too. The food was incredible and diverse and the locations were amazing. Would 100% recommend for exploring the location and finding hidden gems.
This was one of the best food tours I’ve done and I’ve done a fair few! Host was great, really liked the locations and lots to eat and drink! 🍷🧀💕
We travel quite often, and this was hands down the best food tour we've done anywhere. Thomas was a fantastic guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Lisbon, its history, and its food. He really made the experience special. The food was incredible, with generous portions at every stop, so definitely come hungry! Everything we tried was delicious, and we got to experience places we never would have found on our own. It was excellent value for the money and one of the highlights of our trip to Lisbon. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
This is a must-do in Lisbon! We wish we’d have done it on our first day instead of our last, as we visited food places we would have returned to, they were all excellent! Tomas was a wonderful host, so warm, funny and knowledgeable. An absolute bargain for the amount and quality you get. Our best booked experience in Lisbon! Thanks!!
Thomas was phenomenal...we had an excellent combination of history, humor and of course food. I can't recommend this tour enough!
I cannot put this tour into words. Brilliant isn’t quite the right word because it was even better than that. The places we visited, the food, the drinks, Thomas our tour guide were simply perfect 👏🏽 Every single moment was just perfect! Thank you so so much! Cristina from Spain
We had the most amazing time! It felt like walking around with a local friend. Thomas made sure everyone was happy and full. Discovering the backstreets and eating freshly baked pastries right out of the oven was incredible. This is the absolute best introduction to Lisbon's food scene.
Such a perfectly paced tour. Thomas seamlessly blended fascinating historical facts with incredible food stops. We never felt rushed. Tasting the fried mussels with regional wines in a hidden local tavern was an absolute dream. This tour gave us memories for a lifetime. 10/10 experience!
Outstanding afternoon! Thomas is an incredible guide who knows these streets like the back of his hand. We avoided all the tourist traps and ate at genuine family-run taverns. The warm Pastéis de Nata literally melted in my mouth. This is the only way to see the real Lisbon. A must-do! Thank you so much Thomas!
If you want to escape the typical crowds and actually taste the real Lisbon, look no further! Taking this private tour with Thomas was hands down the smartest thing we did on our trip. Instead of following the masses, we were treated to a privileged, behind-the-scenes look at the city’s history and culture. Thomas is an exceptional guide who feels more like a local friend introducing you to his favorite hidden neighborhoods. You definitely need to arrive hungry because the 17 tastings are generous and absolutely out of this world! We visited tiny, family-run taverns and eateries we never would have found on our own. We indulged in everything from warm, flaky Pastéis de Nata and a perfectly spiced traditional Bifana sandwich to amazing local cheeses and fresh seafood petiscos. Washing it all down with crisp Vinho Verde and a classic shot of Ginjinha liqueur made the whole experience unforgettable!
