4.7(60)LisbonFree cancellationBest seller

About this activity

17 tastings & drinks, stories, local dining tips & real connections—ALL INCLUDED! Taste Lisbon on an easy downhill walk through family-run taverns and iconic pastry shops—the places where we grew up. Discover five historic neighborhoods where mosaic pavements, tiled lanes and panoramic views set the scene. Indulge in Portuguese food such as sardines, codfish, alheira or rice dishes, plus convent sweets and a warm, award-winning pastel de nata. Sip Vinho Verde, an Imperial beer, Ginjinha in a chocolate cup, local coffee and more. Along the way, hear personal stories from the people who keep our traditions alive. Leave with a deeper feel for everyday Portugal and our personal picks for restaurants, bars and sunset spots. I'm Guilherme, an actor and food lover raised between Portugal and the Basque Country. My community of local artists shares Lisbon's food stories and welcomes you like a friend, not a tourist. Join a small group (up to 10), or text us about a private tour for up to 30.
