Gustoso! - Thoroughly enjoyed this food tour of Lisbon. First time doing a food based walking tour and thought it was such a great way to see the city and enjoy some delicious food and drink. Carlos was very friendly and knowledgeable and it was nice it was such a small group. Would definitely book with this company in one of the other cities where they host tours.

Fantastic Experience - Fred was much better than Carlos 😂 This our 3rd Eating Europe food tour. We really enjoyed the food, but Fred gave us some great history and insights to Lisbon, which made it even better.

What a great tour! Ricardo was amazing - I thought we were going on a food tour but we got so much more. It was a wine tour and food pairings of Portugal with a modern twist. It was amazing. Only thing better than the tour was our guide Ricardo. He shared his amazing knowledge of Portuguese history and how it influenced food. He then taught us about the wine regions of the country and how the climate influenced wines. The restaurants and cool hole in the wall locations made it so special. Great evening. So awesome
