A delicious and delightful tour

My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a Lisbon Food Tour with Ana Paula and had a great time and great conversation. She was able to customize our visits to exclude a few things we already tried and also give us a taste of better versions of some things we had tried earlier in the week as well. We had some wonderful hams and cheeses, pastries, amazing octopus salad, even more bachalau and, my favorite, the bifana. She also sent us a list of restaurants to try and was helpful throughout our whole trip. Book a tour with Ana Paula and enjoy a taste of Lisbon!

Perfect Family-Friendly Tour of Lisbon!

We had a fantastic 90-minute walking tour of Lisbon with Angelo! Our family of four, including two tween girls, really enjoyed the experience. Angelo was incredibly engaging, striking the perfect balance between informative and entertaining. He shared just the right amount of history to give us a great sense of Lisbon’s rich past without overwhelming us. He also had a great way of connecting with our daughters and keeping them interested the whole time — no small feat! Highly recommend Angelo for families looking to explore Lisbon in a fun and accessible way.

Sonia the patient legend

A great tour, one of the best ways to experience Lisbon is through food, then add in Sonia's history knowledge and her experience being a local and you have a great tour. We visited local hangouts whilst wandering the streets. The tour starts with a great view out over the city and that is the highest point of the whole tour, making walking a lot easier than some tours which have significant amounts of stairs. Due to a number parades that were on in Lisbon on the day of the tour part of our group were caught in traffic and were not able to get to the starting point. Sonia gave them directions on where they should be able to get to on foot, which was a bit of challenge, hence the patient legend. I would recommend this tour, and especially Sonia, you definitely need to taste the Pasteis de nata from the place you stop at, they are definitely better than the usual ones in Lisbon.
