The Lisbon Tour

thelisbontour

The Lisbon Food Tour is a unique gastronomical and cultural journey across Lisbon, to discover the city through its recipes and commensality. Along the way, we will taste local dishes, snacks or what locals call “petiscos”. Besides, we’ll get a taste of the extravagant cuisines that in recent times have influenced not only the gastronomic culture, but the societal environment as well. 

Our guides will introduce you to the main areas of Lisbon, starting from Rossio, in the heart of the city. From there, we are going to explore the three main blocks of the historical center: Baixa Pombalina, Mouraria, and Alfama. Our job is to entertain the tour while sharing details and curiosities about History, culture, traditions, and the changes that the city has seen for hundreds of years, some of them still happening. 

Oh but let’s not forget, everyone is here for the food and drinks, which will be plenty, so please come with an empty stomach!

We will visit restaurants, bars and local taverns while we share stories and anecdotes about the food, wine and its traditions. Overall we are going to be immersed in the environment, interacting with Lisbon as a local, enjoying the company and having fun!

By the end of the journey we will leave you with a full belly, a happy heart, and lots of recommendations to enjoy the city! 

Book now! 

“We have designed our experience to discover the local culture through its food, so you can feel like a true Lisboeta.”

I am Samuel, born and raised in Mexico, an enthusiast of food, flavors, traveling and getting to know other cultures; in other words, a foodie and a traveler.  

I am a Biologist and Social Scientist. During my career I had the opportunity to live in São Paulo, Brazil, where my interest and proximity with Portuguese culture woke up. After that, I moved to Lisbon to continue my academic paths. Then I fell in love with this city, its stories, its corners, its hidden treasures, some of them at plain sight! 

With the combination of my academic background, my passion for Portuguese culture and gastronomy, and also my love for History, I decided to take a little turn on my career. I started to work for some tourism agencies, making scripts and doing walking tours. Then, designing and organizing gastronomic experiences, and now this is my full time occupation, and I cannot love it more. 

“There’s nothing I enjoy more than sharing everything that I learn everyday, and getting others to see the charm of my beautiful city.”

    We absolutely loved touring around and eating (so much) delicious food with Samuel. He expertly crafted the evening with dishes that reflect the history and people of Lisbon. We couldnt have asked for a more thoughtful and enjoyable evening. Bring your friends and an empty stomach!

    I love food tours and always find them a great way to learn about the food (and thus, the culture) of the area I am visiting. Plus I enjoy making new (if very temporary!) friends on the tour since cool people do food tours. lol This tour met my expectations in both areas. Samuel was a kind and knowledgeable guide. He did a great job curating the list of restaurants we visited;. we never would have found them on our own and each was great for highlighting some aspect of Lisbon culture. He even followed up the tour by sending participants info on those restaurants plus other tourist attractions. Highly recommend!
