Adriana was amazing and so knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon, the neighborhoods we visited and how it all played a part in the cuisine we tried. Speaking of food, she took us to local, family-owned restaurants and we tried things we never would have experienced our own. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, I highly recommend. This is a tour we will do every time we visit Lisbon.ktbr1642

Rodrigo was a wonderful guide and host. We tried so many different things and there wasn’t a thing I didn’t enjoy. A tour like this is a great way to start off your trip in Lisbon - you get to taste some amazing and well known traditional dishes, and explore the different areas and neighborhoods.

We love going on food tours as it's a great way to learn about the culture and history of a place. This 17 Tastings Lisbon Food Tour is one of the best we've experienced and that's saying a lot. First, Marina is a delight! She knows Lisbon and shared many of her experiences growing up in the city and returning as an adult with her husband and child. So personable and genuine. Love it! Second, you will finish the tour very full. The variety, portion size, and choice of stops was great. Plus, Marina gave us all kinds of recommendations (where to get the best binfana, areas of the city to visit, etc) as we strolled between stops (we never felt rushed). Thx Marina!!!!Sarah_P

Marina took us on a memorable tour of traditional places where we enjoyed trying unusual foods. She gave us an interesting introduction to Lisbon’s culture and history.

Recommend doing first thing … you’ll enjoy a walking tour so you’ll get a feel for the different neighborhoods but also fantastic history along the way and of course, great food and wine (we’re foodies so this is a must for us). The tastings aren’t your common dishes per say which we enjoyed. You can look those up and try them anywhere in Lisbon. We got to try the hidden gems … places you’d would likely never find without doing this tour. We even bought some of the products we tried to take home. You won’t regret doing this your! Marina was really incredible … warm and friendly and a wealth of knowledge.
