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.

We really enjoy the food tours done by Withlocals. We had a great evening with Amanda! She was fun, friendly and easy to chat with. When we took our tour, we had already been in Portugal for 2 weeks but she took us to hidden gems that we would not have found and was able to converse with the locals to get unique options. 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. Peter & HenriettePeter is the best

We had the best first morning in Lisbon with Sonia on the food tour. Sonia is so knowledgeable and passionate about Lisbon and of course it’s wonderful food. We had ten tastings which were all amazing including delightful food and locals drinks. In between stops Sónia is very happy to pass on her knowledge about Lisbon and its amazing history. Highly recommend, especially at the start of the break to familiarise yourself with the area. Amazing food tour with Sonia

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! The perfect guide to Lisbon!

Camilla is a Lisbon local with a deep love for her city’s food, history, and people. She curated an amazing tour through some of the city’s most vibrant areas, taking us off the beaten path to spots we would never have found on our own. Each stop had a story, and we learnt a lot about the city along the way! The food was wonderful too. Many thanks! Wonderful experience!

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. Foodie Tour (during a power failure!)

Took a tour in Lisbon while on vacation, it was a good one and learned a lot. Pros - Amanda was the best! Great tour guide and very educated, good choices of historic places to try foods and good background on the city. Only Con I would say is this food tour was a bit different than others I've done in other cities. It is almost as much of a historical tour as it is a true food tour. Most food tours I've been on it's all about the food - the food history, tasting, etc; this tour is almost like a historic walking tour but with stops to eat Portuguese famous snacks. As I was looking for a food tour, it was a bit "off" but at the same time, this isn't too much of a negative as we learned a lot and ate some good food! Recommended! Good tour of beautiful Lisbon!

We had such a wonderful time on this food tour in Lisbon! We met our guide, Diogo, at a stunning overlook of the city—a perfect place to begin. Diogo was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Lisbon's history and culinary traditions. Our first stop was a cozy restaurant where we sampled octopus salad, clams, and a fritter with fascinating historical roots (originally created by Jewish communities to disguise chicken as pork). We also had fresh sardines and appreciated Diogo’s excellent guidance on how to eat them like a local. From there, we made a brief stop by the Pharmacy Museum for another great view before continuing to Artis Wine Bar for more small plates and a lovely dessert. Along the way, Diogo pointed out historical landmarks like an old bookstore and a classic coffee shop. We ended the evening in a lively plaza with a tasting of ginjinha, the traditional cherry liqueur. It was the perfect mix of delicious food, culture, and fun—highly recommend!Lisbon Food Tour with Diogo – 5 Stars

We (family of 4) had a really enjoyable afternoon of local food and interesting chat with Andre in Lisbon. It was wonderful to visit some places known to locals for traditional food and drink and really enhanced our stay. Andre was full of local information and history and had a cheeky sense of humour! He also customised our tour and the options he chose for us according to our food preferences and to try things we hadn't already tried (one of us is a vegetarian). Despite the awful weather we had a great time. I'd really recommended choosing Andre as your guide. Brilliant afternoon with Andre in Lisbon

He was flexible, adaptive, and made sure we had all the foods we wanted to try, getting us into “off the map” places that helped us learn about and appreciate Portugal. Great tour.
