Angelo was a fantastic guide for our time in Lisbon. He worked with us to create a customized day that combined his Highlights of Lisbon and 10 Tastings of Lisbon itineraries to create an unforgettable day. He was full of knowledge about history, culture, food, and many other things that added to the experience for us and our two teenage kids. We would highly recommend Angelo for anyone visiting Lisbon!Amazing Day with Angelo!

Amanda was a great host and representative of the area. We had delicious food and learned many things about Lisbon. We tried food that we would never have found on our own and loved all of it. As a family with two teenagers it is sometimes hard to find things they both like. They both enjoyed Amanda and so did we. Thank you Amanda for the great afternoon. Amazing Tour.

We had a wonderful food tour of Lisbon and ate/drank so much and got to see it all. We started up at the top and worked our way down, so the walk was easy. He had great tips besides just the food and I would highly recommend Antonio to anyone who wants an amazing introduction to Lisbon!Silvia had to cancel, we went with Antonio

Angelo proved to be the perfect local host - a good listener, passionate about passing on his deep knowledge of the real Lisbon’s cultural and culinary treasures, and a true nice guy Into the bargain. His command of Portugal’s complex history was as impressive as his own views of its hidden problems as well as its obvious strengths. To top it all off, his ability to more than hold his own in good English was a delight for all in our party. Highly recommend Angelo to anybody interested in more than the usual tourist tour!10

It was great having Ângelo as our local guide. Even though we signed up for the food tour, it was like having a good friend show us around the city. We learned a lot about Lisbon’s history and had culinary experiences that were authentic, delicious and only known to locals. Ângelo answered all of our questions, and even after the tour he stayed in touch and provided recommendations for the rest of our time in Portugal.More than just food

(About local Sylvain )

10 July 2025

I arranged a personal foodie tour with Sylvaine and it was beyond expectations. While many guides are rigid and stick to an overly planned itinerary, Slyvaine was the exception. Having the knowledge and experience of Lisbon, and as a sommelier, after each stop we decided where we would go next depending on the mood of the moment. Perhaps this is just my natural style of travel and I am biased to this approach, but it could not have been a better day. There was always « do you want one more? » and never a hurry. At the end of the afternoon he took put to a few places in his local neighborhood where we hung out with some of his friends. Now, to book a solo guide experience for a day is not inexpensive, but it was worth every cent. There is an old saying you get what you pay for… and in the casa of a personalized tour with Sylvain, I got even more than I paid for. I cannot give a higher recommendation for those who appreciate this type of travel.Fabulous, just fabulous

Instead of us looking at the guide books for restaurant recommendations, we booked a tour with Sonia who took us to all her favorite places. We definitely would not have found the places she took us to and all the food and drinks were delicious. Definitely bring your appetite. Sonia is friendly, funny and considerate. Her English is perfect. And she shared some other fanulous places to go to.

If you are considering booking a tour with Luci, do it! She’s the best! My family and I arrived in Lisbon 3 hours later than planned, jet lagged and tired. Luci was our first introduction to the city. She was funny, insightful, kind, and just an overall joy to be around. As soon as we met she made an effort to get to know my kids (1 and 3 years old) and to incorporate them into the tour. Wherever we went, she ordered little treats for them and made them feel special. She also introduced us to new foods and local restaurants that we never would have thought to try on our own. By the time the tour was over, we had completely forgotten about how tired we were and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun we had all had. If we ever come back to Lisbon, we will no doubt book another tour with Luci. Thank you, Luci, for making our first day so special!Luci is amazing!

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

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!

(About local Alphé)

9 June 2025

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!

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!

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. Peter & HenriettePeter is the best

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!!!
