As a second appetizer you will taste the richness of Iberian ham (Pata Negra): the king of cured meats.

What a lovely way to start our Libson vacation! I booked this at 11:45pm and our guide was ready for us that next morning!! He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It felt like we spent the morning with an old friend. We enjoyed several delicious bites, drinks and full meals. We also got a great tour of the city and overview of a lot of the history. I highly recommend this tour right at the start of your stay.
Fantastic food and cultural experience

I have been to many cities and had many food tours in those cities. This is the best experience of them all. Ari is a fantastic individual and tour guide. She shares history along with food. She listens and responds well to any question we had. The fact that they restrict their group size means that the event feels personal. With six stops in 3 hours the pace was casual but not slow, perfect in fact. Thanks Ari.
Food, Drinks, and History wrapped up in one unforgettable evening.

Our experience with The Lisbon Guy food and drinks tour was incredible. It truly made our visit to Lisbon unforgettable. Ari’s knowledge of the local cuisine and history made the tour much more than just eating and drinking. We visited places we wouldn’t have been able to find ourselves and learned so much along the way. The portions were very good and every stop was unique. By the end, Ari became more than a tour guide- she was a friend as well. We could not recommend The Lisbon Guy tour experience more.
100% recommend

This was the perfect start to my trip! Ariana is super friendly, knowledgeable, patient and understanding :) I really loved having her as my guide! She showed us some authentic places, shared stories about the city, its history, why the things are as they are now.. and we ate really good food in the meantime. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone, who is curious about Portuguese cuisine.
