Excellent
Nina was our tour guide and she was so informative and led a wonderful tour! She was super knowledgeable about every question regarding Portugal we had- even ones totally unrelated to the food. I highly recommend anyone take a tour with her in the future!

Nina was the best guide - genuine, friendly, full of historical knowledge about Lisbon and did a fantastic job describing the food, its origin and importance to the city/country. She even kept the interest of three jet lagged teams. This was our third Devour tour and it did not disappoint! Thank you! Highly recommend.

Know before you book

Is this a private tour in Lisbon?
Yes! This is a fully private Lisbon walking food tour, led by your own local guide who can answer all your questions.
How much food is included?
15+ tastings at 8 spots—more than enough for a full meal. Come hungry! Water will be served at some spots, but we recommend bringing a water bottle if you get thirsty.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We can offer vegetarian alternatives, gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-alcoholic drinks. However, celiac disease and severe allergies are not easily accommodated due to the risk of cross-contamination.
Why book a private food tour in Lisbon?
Because it’s the best way to slow down and go deeper. With your own guide, you can explore Lisbon’s neighborhoods at your own pace and connect with the places locals love most.
What makes this different from other food tours in Lisbon?
Fewer stops, more depth. Instead of grazing your way through a neighborhood, you'll sit down at each stop and settle in. Every course is part of a progression that tells the story of Portuguese food — from its foundations to where it's going. With just 8 guests, it feels like a dinner party, not a walking tour with snacks.
What is the cancellation policy for private food tours?
Private food tours may be cancelled and refunded up to 7 days before the tour date. Thank you for understanding.
Can I customize the route or food stops on a private tour?
Our routes and tastings are thoughtfully planned in advance. Each stop has been chosen for its craft, character, and place in the neighborhood’s daily life. Keeping the route intact allows the experience to unfold smoothly without rushing or waiting. That way you can simply arrive and enjoy a table, seat, or bite waiting just for you. While the route itself stays the same, the rhythm is yours. Your guide adjusts the pace to suit your group.
