Our tasting tour with Peter was excellent, and our whole family (2 adults and one teenager) thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter is soft-spoken and knowledgeable, and was able to provide the perfect combination of history and tradition in our 3 hour tour.Our Tasting Tour with Peter

Peter was extremely knowledgeable, weaving together both the secular and Jewish life of Lisbon through the centuries. He uncovered the architectural clues to the history of the Jews in Lisbon, bringing to life the rich history and vital part that the Jewish community played in contributing to the economy and culture of Lisbon. He also highlighted the persecution of the Jews during several periods from before the inquisition until WWII. We are grateful for his comprehensive 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

Peter was a delightful guide through the areas that were previously Jewish areas. He was extremely knowledgeable and brought pictures to help illustrate what he was explaining. We were 4 senior adults walking more slowly and he was patient too. We really enjoyed ourselves. Excellent Lisbon Jewish Heritage tour.

The tour was very good. However, we were disappointed that recommendations promised by Peter for other city sites/activities, etc. were never received.

Thank you Peter for taking such good care of us and presenting us with the many facets of Lisbon, in the best possible way. It was surely one of the highlights of our stay. Another was the fado evening you so kindly recommended. Thank you!Best history lesson!

My husband and I enjoyed a very informative walking tour with Peter. He conveyed his knowledge of the history of Lisbon very well, and carried a file of illustrations which helped us to see how various areas appeared in the past. A stop to try a local pastry and coffee was included, and Peter made sure that we were safe and comfortable throughout the tour. We also visited a local ceramic workshop where we witnessed the techniques used to paint designs onto the products. Some lovely pieces were available to view/purchase. We both highly recommend this tour, and Peter as your guide. We would not hesitate to join one of his tours in future.Informative and Enjoyable Walking Tour
