“The food tour was fantastic. The meeting point was easy to find and our guide Nina was excellent. Nina spoke great English at an easy to understand pace. There were about 8 in the group so just nice. We met at 10 went to first try bifana which was pork stew stewed overnight and on a bread roll. Amazing taste.

“Excellent tour. Our guide, Rodrigo, was friendly, personable, and presented a mix of historical and food related information. It was an easy walk between stops. I've taken other food tours in Portugal and a lot of the tastings were new to me, including a cold salad with octopus (which I've wanted to try) and a rice/seafood dish. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic options were available. I'm not much of a drinker, but I really liked the green wine! Our tour had 11 people, 3 singles and a family of 8. I was one of the 3 single participants and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know everyone. Highly recommend this tour!”

“We had such fun on this tour! Tour guide Guilherme clearly had great affection as well as knowledge about his city and we really enjoyed sitting back and relaxing as he drove us through the intricate network of old town streets. The food was delicious too...I don't want to spoil the surprises for anyone else, so I'll just say we had plenty of sweet and savoury things to try alongside some lovely wine. And I tasted food I'd never had before and probably wouldn't think to order on a restaurant. After our three hours, Guilerherme left us at a lively watering hole and with a host of recommendations for how…”
