Tapas fun

Bernardo is very knowledgeable about Portuguese history, and he took us to three charming spots in the old city. Thank you, Bernardo for the sandwich suggestion, too!

A nice walk through a part of town. The food was minimal and I wasn’t able to learn much from the guide. With a guide from Portugal familiar with food I think you would do well.

Authentic Lisbon Experience

Michele_C, Jun 2022

Our guide, Ricardo, tailored our tour to include our cultural interests as well as authentic Portuguese delicacies. We were warmly welcomed in the establishments we visited. Walking the hills of Lisbon was made so pleasant through Ricardo’s explanations & information. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to embrace Portuguese culture via local neighborhoods and comfort foods.

Kudos and obrigadu!
