Tastes and Traditions of Lisbon delivered as promised - from the exquisite pastry shop to the Iberian ham to the warming ginjinha and more. Our guide gave us interesting information about Lisbon and the Portuguese along with providing us tastes of iconic food and drink. We seek out food tours everywhere we go and this was one of the best. I particularly appreciate the additional advance information and recommendations. Highly recommend this tour.

We were a group of three friends stopping in Lisbon for a few days. It was a wonderful way to learn about and experience the city and Portuguese cuisine. Our guide Raquel was fantastic!! She was very knowledgeable and fun!! Each stop was delightful! The walking more than offset the extra calories in the sweet treats ? We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended!
