Highly recommend Picta Travel! - A fun afternoon sampling local cuisine and drinks! Highly recommend this tour- it was perfect for our first day in Lisbon as we arrived that morning. It kept us awake, engaged and laughing despite the jet lag! Being surprised at each restaurant, and what we would try next made it all the more exciting. The guide who specializes in this tour was injured the day before, so originally our tour was going to be canceled. However Danilo stepped up last minute and took us on a Sunday afternoon. In addition to the food tour, we did the Sintra and Fatima tours. All amazing!!

Lisbon in a day! - I only had one day in Lisbon and I'm so glad I spent it with Thomas on this tour! He was so warm and welcoming and really tailored everything so that I could see and eat the most with the time we had! It was a ton of fun, so very delicious (more tarts please!), and I also learned so much about the city and its history and people. His love for Lisbon shines through as well as his joy of sharing it. Highly recommend!

Food Tour with Matheus in Spanish - Matheus was excellent. Extremely knowledge on non tourist food places where the Real local cultural food is served. Being a history buff and speaking fluent English, Spanish and of course Portuguese makes him a great asset for the food tour industry.

Great Bites of Food and Culture - My family loved our food tour led by Thomas and Matheus! We were a large group of 20 (with 10 children), but our guides managed all the extra details and ensured everyone was satisfied. Not only did we taste some amazing foods (my favorites were the samosas and the incredible pastries at the end), but our knowledgeable guides regaled us with Interesting insights on the history and culture of Lisbon and Portugal along the way. I highly recommend the tour if you are a fan of food (who isn’t?) and want to taste a small slice of Lisbon architecture, culture, and history with some wonderful guides.

Awesome first day in Lisbon with Thomas - Thomas made our first day in Lisbon a wonderful experience. We learned about the culture, history and food as we explored the streets of Lisbon. Thomas took us to hidden gems we never would have found on our own! The one on one vs group experience is so worth it!
