Hi there! Nice to meet you

Sylvain

20 years ago, I fell in love with Portugal and moved to Lisbon. Since then, I've spent my time exploring every corner of this captivating city, uncovering its hidden gems and embracing its rich culture, vibrant landscapes, and warm, welcoming people.

I'm a devoted foodie with a deep appreciation for local wines, and I love sharing my insights and experiences with others.

We've been twice now to Lisbon and there is much to see. The first time, we had a great time with a group food tour - a few hidden gems and a few standards. This time, we splurged a bit more and had an absolute fantastic personal tour with our guide who customized the experience to give us exactly what we wanted. We wanted a focus on wine and Syvain was perfect in his knowledge ... adding historical tidbits here and there and taking us to some fantastic, perhaps once-in-a-lifetime tasting experiences.Great food and wine memories of Lisbon

We were lucky enough to choose Sylvain for a guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable with not only food and the foods of Lisbon but the history of Lisbon as well. He chose the highest quality of establishments to bring us to. He knew we were very interested in wines and he made that a priority. His love for wine and food really made this tour the best tour we have ever had and we have taken many around the world. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Sylvain! Absolutely fabulous tour by Sylvain!

Sylvan is incredibly knowledgeable about food and wine, having worked in the wine industry for several years in different countries. He took us one a great tour of some of his favorite places in multiple neighborhoods around the city. He very expertly adjusted our tastings to accommodate our dietary restrictions. We got to taste many typical Lisbon dishes, from cheese and pata negra pork, to sweets and pastel de nata (of course). We also sampled white and red wines, as well as port. We loved it to much that we bought port to bring home and cheese and pork to share with my brother in Paris next week. Definitely recommend Sylvain's tour!Amazing food tour

Sylvan was an amazing guide who took us to the best hidden gems of Porto, Portugal. He was very knowledgeable about the history & culture of the city and more importantly, the wines. We also found Sylvan to be a lovely person as we got to know him as we meandered the back streets of the city. Highly recommend booking with Sylvan if you’re heading to Porto. Great Food & Wine Experience

Sylvain was on time and punctual. The walking tour was very informative and we could not have done the things or visited the places we went without Sylvain's expertise and knowledge of the area. The wine and food tastings were great! We explored a section of Lisbon that we wouldn't have known about thanks to Sylvain. I would definitely recommend Sylvain to anyone wanting a unique Lisbon experience!Sylvain is the best!

Sylvain was a great guide for our family and gave us enough of historical/cultural background about Lisbon to keep us informed but also entertained. The food tour stops were judiciously chosen and Sylvain took into account some interests/preferences that I had given about our family. He also made himself available through text message after the tour for any food or city-related questions we had, which was highly appreciated. Absolutely recommend booking a tour with Sylvain!Great food tour with friendly guide!

We had a very enjoyable tour of Lisbon with Sylvain. It was informative learning of the history and culture, an introduction to the city itself and (very importantly) the cuisine and wine of Portugal. It was a fantastic all-round journey through the city. Sylvain was articulate and very knowledgeable in his tour description and answering our many questions. We would recommend him very highly as guide. Fantastic experience of Lisbon
