Excellent food tour experience
The culinary backstreets tour led by Kika was excellent. She is dedicated to her craft, and even took extra time to tailor the tour to our specific non food related interests. This included a detailed history of the famous Azulejos and how the Lisbon earthquake helped shape the modern layout of the city. Further, she drew a whole map showing Portugal’s maritime history and how it shaped Lisbon’s vibrant immigrant driven food scene. We arrived fasting, and left very full. We loved the Vindaloo an...read more

Great food and learning experience
Excellent experience. The tour was just as much a learning experience as it was a food tasting. Our guide Kika was incredibly knowledgeable of the different cultures and cuisines which made the experience that much better. Would recommend.

Wonderful time and a wonderful guide!
My husband and I went and there was one other girl with us! It was a lovely time trying foods from local restaurants, all family-owned. Ines, our tour guide, was very sweet and very knowledgeable! She answered the millions of questions we had, as it was our first time traveling outside of the United States. She was very friendly, and we really enjoyed our time!

Way More Than Just a Food Tour!
Our tour in Lisbon was one of the most memorable days of our 2-week trip. Our guide, Kika, gave us the most immersive and enjoyable walkthrough of Portugal's history, entangled in colonization, trade, and global expansion. It gave us insight and context into how so many communities have enriched Lisbon, as we got to taste the cuisines and meet the people writing those stories. Kika gave us extra facts, tips, recommendations, and even bonus neighborhood stops as we walked, making sure to take us ...read more
