Fabulous food and views inLisbon - We had an amazing day with Andre. We tasted food we had not tried before and in places we never would have found. We heard great stories and history. We returned to 2 stops to eat more on another day. André was warm and fun , we felt like we were long time friends by the end of the day. An added bonus was he treated us to a small magic show !

Walking + Eating = 🥰 - Loved it! Walking and eating are the two best ways to explore a new city. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared aspects of history and culture that knit the whole experience together! Can’t wait for my next Culinary Backstreets tour!

Delivered the magic - Great mix of food, stories and places we would not have gone to without Andre’s guidance. The sports club and cervejaria were highlights but everything was good. The small group of 7 was friendly and fun to spend time with. The magic tricks were a fun bonus that everyone enjoyed. Thanks Andre!!🙌🙌

Very interesting and lively experience - This was a great experience. Our guide Martim was super informative and personable. The ground we covered both intellectually and physically was very satisfying. I highly recommend this as much more than a food tour.

wonderful unique and authentic experience - A great unique experience. Our guide Martim was very informative, intelligent and catered to everyone's interests. We really enjoyed walking the backstreets of his neighborhood and sampling the truly authentic food. The small group size was definitely an advantage - and 7 hours duration really gave great value for the price charged. thank you

Lower Case "c" - culinary Backstreets Tour - Let me start with saying Andre was a most pleasant, engaging and entertaining guide. However, we didn't feel there was enough focus on the culinary elements of the tour. First off, we anticipated our guide would have deeper and/or, firsthand culinary background expertise/experience upon which to draw. Additionally, the food and drink that we did enjoy, were effectively a small series of light snacks that quite honestly failed to satisfy our collective appetite over the course of a 5 plus-hour walking tour. An improved, more immersive, food focused tour itinerary could make this a good value at nearly $300 USD per couple. But since we didn't find this to be the case, we likely won't seek out future Culinary Backstreets tours elsewhere, downstream.
