Our tour with Sofia was absolutely amazing! We started our time in Portugal with Lisbon and this tour, and found ourselves talking about the things we learned on the tour and Sofia's stories the entire rest of our trip. She was genuinely passionate about showing us her lovely city. She showed us some truly amazing local spots and culturally significant areas of Lisbon. We had a blast walking around town with her, learning some cool local knowledge while getting history lessons on different periods of Lisbon's past. She had a deep knowledge of anything we asked about and was always excited to tell us more! The food and drinks we had along the way were amazing. Be sure you don't eat before the tour! We highly recommend booking with Taste of Lisboa.Great introduction to Lisbon, took one to areas & food outlets you might not find, guide excellent, enthusiastic & gave lots of facts about Lisbon & food. Including recipes & restaurant ideas.Nice sized internal group. Arrive hungry !!

Dani did a fabulous job leading our Lisbon Roots, Food & Culture tour on September 12, 2023. She was fun to have as a guide. Her food choices were delicious, and she did a great job of tying the food in with Portuguese history and culture. At the end, she also gave us a written list of the locations we visited and what we ate. This added a lot, and I'm surprised this was the first food tour where we got the list of food and locations. It really comes in handy. A few days later we did another Lisbon food tour as part of a Viking shore excursion. But Viking's tour wasn't half as good as our Taste of Lisbon tour.walked through several characteristic areas of Lisbon with multiple stops for food and drinks related to the regions. Daniel was an excellent guide explaining the foods ,history and culture of Portugal.
