“Our tour guide, Livia, walked us through different parts of Lisbon while taking us back into the past centuries. At the same time she gave us gastronomic delights and paired everything with incredible Portuguese wines. We stopped at 4 authentic restaurants and sampled various delicacies - things tourists would not know to order. Livia kept the evening light and entertaining, while giving us lessons in history and the culinary art. I am highly recommending this tour.”

“Miguel was just tremendous! He showed us “hidden” local places to try—some which we would have never found on our own, some which we walked past everyday but were not aware! He provided great context and information about Lisbon which enriched our experience throughout our stay. Good variety in regards to the food. Good walking route- not too long, not too short and some stairs which is typical in Lisbon anyway. Definite must on the first day in Lisbon to get oriented.”
Review of Lisbon’s private Arrabida wine tour, with Setubal market, ocean views, wineries, cheese, tiles, lunch, price, and practical tips.
“This is a great tour and included more than just wine tasting. Yes the wine tasting was fun and enjoyable. But our guide Pedro was fun and engaging, taking us to a tile shop to see how authentic tiles were made, we had lunch by crystal clear ocean and he found a number of scenic views. The tour was great and we highly recommend our tour guide Pedro.”
Taste Funchal on a four-hour food and wine walk with local guides, Madeiran specialities, poncha, history, and generous tastings.
“This was an excellent tour! There was plenty of food, wine, and cultural information, just as promised. Everything was delicious and our guide was very well informed and answered all our extra questions. Just don't make the mistake we did and eat light all day expecting to eat often and a lot based on food tours we have done in other locations. The 4pm tour starts with drinking and doesn't get to dinner until much later. There was plenty of food, but we had too much to drink first on our empty stomachs. We would have planned better if we had known that ahead of time.”
From the cave boats to the cellar tastings, and the best of each.
