Borja was an amazing guide. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He added just the right amount of history about the food to keep you entertained the whole time.

Let’s be honest: What an incredible way to start our time in Lisbon! This food tour was so much more than just tasting great dishes, no joke. It felt like a warm, authentic introduction to the city and its culture. We explored beautiful spots in Baixa, Chiado, and Cais do Sodré that we would have easily walked past on our own, yet they were full of history and flavor.<br /><br />Each stop was thoughtfully chosen, from traditional savory dishes to absolutely delicious pastéis de nata (yes, more than one!). The portions were exactly right and everything was high quality.

This tour was a highlight of our trip to Portugal! Helena is so knowledgeable and passionate about the country, and she humanized the history to bring Lisbon to life. Every taste was delightful. My husband and I even went back to some of the places we visited. I recommend booking this tour toward the start of your trip so you can benefit from Helena's tips and recommendations for the rest of your stay.

We were late to our meeting point and our tour guide was graciously waited with patience and poise. She took us to Lisbon’s cherished establishment and provided background of each. The three hour tour was at a comfortable pace with yummy traditional foods (and drinks).
