One of the highlights of our 10 day trip through Portugal was definitely our food tour through Lisbon with Angelo. I booked the tour for my family of four which included my husband, 18 and 21 year old kids and myself. We met up with Angelo and he provided an overview of the tour and gave us a bit of a Lisbon history lesson to set the stage. All of the food we tasted during 6 stops was delicious and unique. Angelo went above and beyond in seeking out not only the very best of traditional food but he made an effort to support small businesses that focus on local, high quality ingredients. Definitely go hungry. Angelo's knowledge of Portuguese history and the culture was shared in a way that conveyed his passion for his country and also drew us in so that we began to feel the same. He also followed up after the tour with additional recommendations for things to see and do during our trip as well as providing a summary of all the places we explored and the history discussed. You will not be disappointed if you book a tour with Angelo. He is as friendly and thoughtful as he is knowledgeable. Thank you Angelo.

We did the 10 Tastings of Lisbon with Angelo. It was the best afternoon we could have asked for--better than we imagined. As Angelo says, the best way to understand a city is around a table, sharing food, drinks, and conversation with friends. That is what the whole experience felt like. Each spot that Angelo picked for us to visit was off the beaten path and showed us places that we would have never found on our own and allowed us to support small local Lisbon businesses. Not only was all the food absolutely delicious but as we sat and tried each food and drink, Angelo enriched our experience with not only telling us about the history of Lisbon but also about how the food we were eating, the flavors, the history of Lisbon, and contemporary Lisbon all connected in that one bite of food or one sip. It was just a phenomenal experience and Angelo truly felt like a local friend. He is the best! Angelo made us fall more in love with the city and made us want to explore every part of it. Even after the tour, he sent us countless recommendations of markets and bars and activities to enrich our time here in Lisbon according to our interests and passions.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Angelo and this tour!! Do not hesitate--book it! Angelo IS THE GUIDE YOU WANT

Our family of four were lucky enough to spend a magical evening with Alphé touring and eating throughout Lisboa. He took us to a longstanding cafe, a charming family run restaurant filled with local families, and amazing pasteis de nata spot where they are made right in front of you. We got to sample some delicious authentic Portuguese food and he made certain to point out buildings with exceptional craftsmanship, beautiful chapels, and jaw-dropping renovations. He even sent a follow-up list of stores and other restaurants and historic spots to visit during our trip. I can’t recommend this experience with him more highly- it was like touring Lisboa with a dear friend who had a vast knowledge of their hometown. We all got so much out of this tour- not just yummy food, but a real sense of the town & Lisboa customs and culture. The night we spent with Alphé will stay in our memories for a long,long time! I can’t imagine a better way to experience Lisboa than with Alphé!!! A magical night in Lisboa with Alphé

After arriving into Lisbon late the night before we felt that this tour with Sonia would be a great way to ease into our first full day in the city and it proved to be. Sonia is super friendly and very knowledgeable about her city and we enjoyed the stories she told us about Lisbon and her life there as well as the food and drink offerings. The time went so quickly, highly recommend.Great first day in the city experience

The highlight of our visit to Lisbon. Sylvia grew up in Lisbon and guided us to the tastiest, family-operated restaurants in town. No tourist traps on this adventure. The food was amazing, but the real treasure was the tour and history provided by Sylvia. So thankful we booked here!Authentically local - superb bites

We booked our food tour last minute (within two hours of the tour). David was very responsive! He showed us around the city, giving us a lot of history about Lisbon, the food, the drinks. We tried many different foods which were all very tasty. And it's fun to walk around town with a local and get little tid bits along the way. He certainly went the extra mile, showing us different rooftops, ways to get around Lisbon, and truly a lot of history, which we really enjoyed. I would highly suggest David to anyone. Really a nice guy who seems to enjoy what he's doing.Fantastic tour and guide!

We had a fabulous evening with António tasting local Portuguese food & drinks. He was very friendly & also extremely knowledgeable, not only telling us about the food we were tasting but also about Lisbon/Portugal and its history and other facts. He was able to answer all our questions. He also gave us some great recommendations for the following day. I would highly recommend doing the food tasting tour with António.

We loved the history content but were surprised with wine and food part .
Normally we do just a history group walking tours ( free sort of ones if available) . We only had 3 nights in Lisbon, with one day spent in Sintra we decided to have a private tour covering all aspects of local culture.
We totally enjoyed the history part but I thing the food /wine part is guided by the Company guidelines and it wasn’t what we expected for 250 euros .
The lesson - don’t assume - ask , I mean ask about what food , wine experiences have been planned. If it’s private it should be tailored to some extent to your liking. We only visited two places and neither did wine testing . First place ( like a milk bar in Australia) offered a sweet white wine out of the 4 L cask .. not something we would drink plus my husband doesn’t drink white wine at all ( sulphate issues). Second place - lunch in a local tavern . Food was nice but it wasn’t tasting as we only had 2 dishes .. and a bottle of red covered with a brown paper .. not sure why but it was a nice wine . Desert was a take away .. yes pastels de nata , yummy of course:)
So looks like the Company gives quite low budget do the guides for the food and wine as it’s far from to be called tasting and the price is over the top for what you get .
My price value rating is based on the food / wine part as the history only tours are worth 20-50 euros per person in the group setting .
For the private tour - the question is what would you like / dislike is what anyone would expect .
For the history/ culture knowledge we would give Alphe - 10 ! He was amazing! Great guide but questionable company

We organised a tour on our first day in Lisbon and it was a great way to be introduced to the city. Sónia has a passion for what she does which comes across instantly. We learned a lot about the city, sampled some local delights and found ourselves visiting some of the locations again following the tour. Sónia is very easy to get on with and I would recommend her tour to anyone who is thinking of booking. Just right!

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Ângelo during our recent stay in Lisbon. He provided us with an interesting historical perspective on this unique city. Ângelo also took us to a number of different establishments for food tastings. We loved the way he supported the local family operated businesses during the tour. Ângelo also provided us with recommendations for further food exploration/activities during the remainder of our trip. This excursion was definitely the highlight of our Lisbon experience!

Anne created a wonderful welcome to Lisbon experience for my 18 year old granddaughter and me. She was so friendly and engaging as she took us to restaurants that provided a true Portuguese experience. Along the way she shared her local knowledge and by the end of our three hours we felt like we had made a friend. A delightful first afternoon in Lisbon.

Great experience and we would definitely do it again! Thanks Amanda!Food tour with Amanda in Lisbon

Seven of us, from the US, followed Sofia around the old section of Lisbon, where we received an interesting history lesson, as well as enjoying a wide variety of food tastings curated exclusively by her. From pork sliders, to cherry port, to sardines, mushrooms and chicken stomachs, to tomato soup, oysters, fried green beans, and ending with the best Pastel de Nata anyone ever had, we all thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Sofia is passionate about providing the best experience and she did.Enjoyable Food and History Tour

If you’re like us; using a food tour to get to the heart and soul and history of a city, we strongly suggest that you ask for Peter as your guide. We had a wonderful and very fascinating tour of the city center. The stories went from a Portuguese company recreating Roman garum in the original ancient vessels (and having a taste of it!) to entering hidden gems that we would never have discovered yourself. We can recommend Peter to discover the soul of Lissabon.

We booked a food tour with Angelo after reading about his passion for history and his glowing reviews. We are so happy we did! Angelo was attentive to our groups' needs, thorough in his explanation of the historical and cultural evolution of Lisbon, and a true local foodie with diverse tastes. He did a great job of curating this tour with flavors that span from traditional sea food to Afro-Portugese cuisine. Since it was our first day in Portugal he went above and beyond to provide us with recommendations for almost every place we would be visiting on our trip. Truly an exceptional experience with Angelo that we could not recommend enough!Exceptional all around!!!

A tour with Angelo was the perfect addition to our stay in Lisboa. He took us on a fantastic wander around the city center, as well as some of its eateries, weaving history and gastronomy into a memorable stroll. My friend and I both felt we gained a unique insight into Portuguese culture, something which would have been more difficult to achieve on our own. Angelo was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly. He went above and beyond making sure the tour was tailored to our preferences. I was new to gastronomy tours but will be signing up again when I visit new places. Highly recommend.The perfect guide

It was a joy discovering the tastes and wines of Lisbon with Sylvain. The tour was perfectly catered to our tastes and interests (we were interested in wine in particular) and Sylvain is incredibly knowledgeable about everything Lisbon. This would be perfect for both newcomers to the gastronomy of Lisbon and those looking to take a deep dive.
Will hopefully see you again in Lisbon Sylvain!

We really enjoyed our time with Ângelo. He combined history with food tasting to give us a unique viewpoint of Lisbon. The food/drink he selected for us was excellent but it was the bits of history related to the origins and development of various types of food and its impact on Portuguese culture that was fascinating to us.
I would definitely recommend Ângelo for a tour of Lisbon!Wonderful experience with Angelo!

We met Alphié the first evening we were in Lisboa where he took us on a walking food and wine tour. He is so knowledgeable and personable that we fell for him. He knew every date and year of what happened in Lisboa and never failed answering a question with all the history that happened over the last 1000 years. He told us we were going to all “medieval foods” that were popular in the Knights Templar time. Alphié knew so many people that these people welcomed us with open arms. He had us try foods we’d never had before nor would we have eaten until Portugal.
We highly recommend Alphié for a tour..we promise you won’t be disappointed!
PS he’s also a model..make sure he shows you his pics Alphé was an amazing tour guide!

We had scheduled a tour with Angelo for April 28. He adjusted the tour so that we could meet near our hotel (in Alfama). He was on time (even early) .. and we set off. We already knew some of the history of Lisbon from earlier tours, but Angelo added his own perspective and filled in some gaps for us.
As we arrived at the first location, we discovered that the power had just gone out - and we unable to try the Pasteis de Nata that he had planned. This was no big deal, as we had tried them at Belem the previous day. We tried another location that Angelo knew, but they too had no power -- and we were slowly discovering that this was a major power failure, affecting both Spain and Portugal.
We then moved on to trying Ginginha (at a little spot just off a square).
We were impressed that at each place, Angelo clearly knew the owners, and seemed he was getting some special (faster) treatment. We next went to try bifana (which was awesome!) and then an empanada (also amazing).
When we arrived at the wine and cheese tasting, we had a slightly bigger problem -- it was a small place, with no light - and there was already a large group at the only large window! He worked with the team there to find a solution .. and eventually we ended up right by the window.
We wondered back over into Alfama for our final stop, at a lovely place a few steps from our hotel. Angelo knew the owner well (he came over and chatted with us for a while). We were supposed to try Pastel de Bacalhau there, but they couldn't make those without electricity -- so we had sardines on toasts instead. I hadn't tried these -- and they were actually very good.
It was a challenging day, but we appreciated how Angelo made it work.

We set off to taste some wonderful experiences whilst also getting a history lesson and some Lisbon secrets from Andre’. He is fun, alive and exactly what we wanted from a guide in his own Country! Would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of doing this. A wonderful experience

We found Sonia to be personable, well-informed on history and the area culture and definitely connected to the local foods, restaurants and vendors. We have been on many food tours and Sonia is either the best or near-best we have ever had.Excellent tour!

With a last minute booking, we were incredibly fortunate to find Sonia. From the get go, she was enthusiastic and attentive. We traversed the city streets, stopping to sample local at haunts. At every opportunity she provided a eclectic mixture of local anecdotes combined with history. With a little pressing she always had more to offer.
A fabulous guide with a fascinating backstory. If you have the time, be sure to seek her out!A grande welcome to Lisboa
