Amazing Lisbon Experience! - The Lisbon Food & Fado Tour with Helena was a major highlight of our family trip! Everyone enjoyed learning about the traditional cuisine and fado music while walking the narrow neighborhood streets displayed with artwork. Helena was so knowledgeable and passionate about her culture! She made us feel like one of the locals, especially when we knocked on Alice’s door in Alfama. The food was delicious and the live fado music forever memorable. I highly recommend this tour!

great way to spend evening in lisbon! - Roquelle was a fantastic guide, super knowledgeable and took us on a really fun tour in Alfama. We tried a variety of food - and they were able to accommodate someone's food allergy in our group. I was worried it wouldn't be enough food but it was plenty. The Fado house they took us to was really small and felt like a really authentic experience. My only suggestion is for the guide to bring a speaker for certain parts of the tour!

Our guide, Helena, was... - Our guide, Helena, was fantastic! She did an amazing job leading us through the historic neighborhoods in Lisbon, sharing history, and tying that the fado music we were about to hear.
The food, snacks and drinks were all delicious and the fado music was exquisite! Really felt like we were at a local restaurant rather than a tourist trap.

Poor experience. Would not recommend - Not impressed. Way overpriced for what you received. I wouldn't call this a food tour. One stop and dinner and a fado show. Fado show was what gave you the two rating. Could have booked the Fado show and dinner oirselces theiugh the jotel for free. Guide did not stay for the whole event and left us to find our own way back k via taxi or Uber at our own cost. Which was an added expense that was not expected.
This was not advertised in the group overview. Guide should have stayed with us and brought us back to the starting point at minimum. Booking a couple of Tuk Tuks to do so would have been helpful. Will not be re commending this tour.
