About

More than 17 tastings, and not just Portuguese snacks, but real Portuguese dishes all while sipping some of the best wines, including a nip of Madeira or Port wine to wash it all down with.

Take a walk through history and contemporary life and explore not one, but the three oldest neighborhoods Alfama, Mouraria and Baixa on our food tour in Lisbon.

Discover a fascinating gastronomic world intertwined within a human & urban landscape on this Lisbon Food and Wine Tour.

We'll take you places you wouldn't find on your own. We'll serve meals you wouldn’t order and tell you things that you can't Google!

We strike the perfect balance between walking, resting, and eating. Five stops, more than 17 tastings. Explore not one, but the three oldest districts in Lisbon: soulful Alfama, Mouraria, and historical Baixa. You'll leave with enough information and curiosity to explore other areas, with your belly of course, from traditional to experimental Portuguese gastronomy!

Portuguese food has so much to offer. Famous for its wine, meat, seafood, its 'conventual' desserts (beyond the infamous custard tart), and much more. From Mediterranean influences and the legacy of Portugal's colonial history, namely in the wide variety of spices used, our Lisbon small-group walking tour will leave you craving for more.

We'll present you with a selection of flavors, cooking techniques, and cultural influences through small plates and the right beverage (Portuguese wine, liqueurs, juices), all while wandering hidden corners of the city.

Several tapas (aka ‘petiscos’ or Portuguese appetizers) will make up our overall menu. And don't worry, you won't miss out on some of the best Portuguese wines!

Our walking tour also includes a wine tasting experience that will allow us to learn about Portugal wine regions from Portuguese red wine to whites, but also port wines and liqueurs, like the famous Ginjinha.

If you don't drink alcohol we'll have delicious alternatives from natural juices to lemonades available at every stop.
