We had a 3 hour experience all about the wines of Portugal. Paula told us the history of Portugal and the history of the wines as well. Her knowledge of wines is unbelievable and we also experienced the differences of wine with cheese and meat. We could ask her anything and she took the time to explain everything. Next time we will certainly book her again for more! Great wine experience!

My wife and I visited Lisbon for a short period of time. We wanted to have an experience that gave us a great feel for the city with a focus on food and wine. Paula customized our time together to not only meet, but to exceed our expectations. As a long time resident and accomplished sommelier we were in very good hands. Best Tour We Have Ever Had

Paula spent more than three hours with our travelling party of four. A walking tour in the city of Lisbon, she shared great insights into the city. Her knowledge and celebration of Portugal's history is highly impressive. A trained sommelier, she completed our time together with a wine and food tasting at a wine cellar in Lisbon- something we all enjoyed enormously. We wholeheartedly recommend Paula and our tour with her is one of our highlights of a week's holiday in Lisbon.Outstanding

We had a very enjoyable tour of Lisbon with Paula learning of the history of Lisbon and Portugal and enjoying the sights. Paula was very helpful providing us background to Portuguese culture and individual locations and monuments in Lisbon. She excelled at her specialty in Portuguese wine and we really enjoyed our tasting of local wines. We would definitely recommend Paula as a tour guide, especially for her knowledge of Portuguese wines. Enlightening tour with a friendly guide

Paula obviously knows lots and lots about Lisbon and it's history which came through in the tour. None of us had done a pairing before and everyone really enjoyed it. Paula again had limitless knowledge about wine and we all learnt a lot. Most importantly is was really fun. Fantastic Experience

It was lovely meeting Paula and walking the streets of Lisbon as she educated me on its history, people, culture and, of course, food and wine. She offered advice also on other places to visit. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and our final destination at a fabulous rooftop restaurant (for a food and wine pairing) with views across Lisbon.Personable Lisbon experience

I spent a lovely 3+ hours with Paula. She added the perfect amount of Lisbon history to our meandering walk, and our three wine stops were full of information about Portugal's wine regions, as well as pairing wines with food. She customized the wines we tried around my tastes, and was a great resource for all of my Lisbon/wine-related questions throughout the afternoon. Would highly recommend a tour with Paula!Wonderful Guide

So, I am back in Boston and what a great visit Lisbon has been. On my 4th day of a 9-day visit to Lisbon, I booked a tour with Paula - Sights and Flavors of Lisbon with a Private Sommelier. This proved to be one of my top three highlights of my visit. Paula started the tour with a wine food pairing. What a great way to learn about all the numerous wine regions this amazing country has to offer. Paula is a terrific sommelier that loves to share her knowledge. She tailored the tour based on my interests and answered all my questions from Wine, to history, to daily life in Lisbon. I highly recommend you book a tour with her.Highlight of my time in Lisbon!

My husband, dad and I are big wine lovers, but knew nothing about Portuguese wine. Paula was incredible. She worked with our interests. Answered all of our many questions and brought us to wonderful places to taste some unique wines. I couldn’t recommend Paula more. She is a wealth of knowledge for both the history of Lisbon and wine. The Perfect Day!

I booked Paula's tour as a birthday gift for some dear friends. When a last minute scheduling issue came up, she was incredibly gracious and flexible in helping coordinate a new date/time for us. They ended up having a fantastic time sampling wines and learning about the city. Would absolutely recommend her tour to anyone visiting Lisbon. A Wonderful Gift for Friends

Paula was excellent. She enthusiasm for and knowledge of wine really impressed me. I wanted to get a quick understanding of which wines in liked in the region and which I didn’t and was perfect, in an amazing bar I would never have found otherwise. Thanks Paula. Great wine tasting

My husband and I were looking for an introduction into the wines of Portugal. Paula provided us with a wonderful afternoon of tasting and education. We are experienced wine drinkers and know a lot about the wines of the world, but did not have much of a background on the different regions in Portugal. Paula was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide and we enjoyed our afternoon with her immensely. She is a certified sommelier, as well as a teacher and she tailored this tour specifically for what we were looking for. We felt lucky to have found her! I would highly recommend booking time with her.Great afternoon of Wine Tasting!

I booked an amazing afternoon with Paula for four of us. I wanted to focus more on Paula's experience as a professional sommelier so asked for more personalised offering which Paula truly delivered upon. We had an amazing food and wine pairing that was truly unique, but I won't spoil it for you all by telling too much about it. I can't recommend taking a tour with Paula highly enough, I am already planning my next trip where we will get out of Lisbon woth Paula and experience Moscatel and more.Amazing Personalised Tour with Paula

Paula was knowledgeable about the various Portuguese wines. However, I felt rushed because she had to catch a ferry back home. Plus, the Port wine tasting business was closed. I felt as a tour guide this was her responsibility to ensure all places were open and knew we were coming.Wine tour

We had a wonderful morning and early afternoon tour and wine tasting with Paula. She was very informative and fun to be with. Great tour explaining some of Lisbons highlights but also the history which we enjoyed. The wine tastings and explanation of Portugals regions was terrific and we have been able to already use in our selection of wines. Thank you Paula for a wonderful time and helping us to enjoy our vacation with the knowledge you shared. Cheers, Wayne and AngelaFabulous Tour, wine tasting and food pairing.

I read an article which stated wine is the pride of Portugal. Meeting Paula, I got to personally experience it! I was drawn to her passion for the beautiful city of Lisbon and her in-depth knowledge of wine. Through this tour, I began to learn how to truly appreciate wine (its history, tradition, and culture also)! As she showed me around Lisbon, she connected me to a local wine store, so I could purchase and share some lovely Portuguese wine with my friends and family back home. And lastly, she showed me the National Wine Institute, which was a great place to conclude our tour. For those who want to experience the Pride of Portugal, I recommend Paula to be their guide! I look forward to return to Lisbon and see Paula again, so I could explore the wine history and tradition even further! Her passion for wine has spread to me! Pride of Portugal

We absolutely loved our time with Paula! Our personalized tour was a mix of Portuguese heritage, history, fun cultural facts and of course delicious wine! We met near the Rossio station and she provided us with some background of the area, and continued to point of areas of interest along the way to our first destination, which was a rooftop wine bar. There we enjoyed some white wines with a beautiful view of the city. We then visited the Portuguese Wine Institute, where we were able to sample many varieties, including a 40 year old Port! Paula was incredibly helpful with her suggestions, such as which wine shop we should visit to purchase bottles to take home. We mentioned to her that we were visiting Sintra the next day, and she suggested visiting Bar do Binho, which was excellent. Overall, we had a wonderful afternoon with Paula, and feel that we learned not only about wine, but about the Portuguese people. The Best Wine Experience!

Me and my husband had booked a tour with lovely Paula at the first day of our stay in Lisbon, and our vacation could not have started in any better way. The tour was such a great way to be introduced to Lisbon's sights, and Portuguese wine. Paula gave us great insight, and we got to know the city and it's history by walking around in the very compact and walkable city center. In addition, she managed to incorporate her own wine expertise, and we learned so much about the major grapes and regions. The visit at the wine institute was a highlight, and we came back several times during our stay. Make sure you try wines from the Bairrada region! The way she managed to customize the content to our interests was very impressive, and Paula's friendly nature made the whole experiene worth every euro. Her English is very good, and as far as we understood she is also fluent in other languages. We give Paula our best recommendations, and please note that she also guides in other parts of Portugal by request. Great experience!

We did the tour with Paula on our first day in Lisbon and were very pleased with this experience :) Not only the wine tasting that was super interesting but also the walk around downtown, historical facts and some hidden gems of Lisbon's center. Paula is very nice and knowledgeable, and we are very grateful for making the start of our short vacation in Lisbon so special! I can also add that I really recommend to take this tour in the beginning of your stay, so that you can explore deeper Paula's recommendations both for sightseeing and wines (and Portuguese wines are really good!)Highly recommended!

Paula was very helpful in agreeing to suit the tour contents and timing to my needs and I must say did so very well. I asked for, and got, a good mixture of interesting bits of history and the local landmarks, advice on what to do later in my holiday and a few good locations visited for wine and food. Paula is both knowledgeable on the city, it's history and how to see the evidence in the streets about you and of course food and wine for which an interesting pairing was made. On top she is super friendly and I would recommend her to future visitors.Perfect intro to food, wine and Lisbon
