This was a fabulous tour of the oldest part of Lisboa - Mouraria. I knew so little and Filipa provided me with just the right amount of history while inviting me to ask for more details whenever I wanted to know more! We walked at a casual pace and the selection of exceptional small restaurants and shops was perfect as was the food served in them! I was totally enlightened by the experience and will definitely try some of Filipa's other tours. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to know more about Lisboa, its food, its culture and its history.

I went with my father on this tour. It was amazing! For anyone who is still doubting whether they should do this tour or not: do it!! This tour shows you all the cultural aspects of the hidden treasures in Lisbon. Some history, laughs, room for questions.. And especially the food. It was really good. Really good quality! The tour operators are such sweet people. I am a vegetarian, and immediately after I booked the tour I got a mail from Pedro. He asked me what I do eat and what I don't, so they could make a menu for me. In total we got 6 different stops. They were all very unique. I'm not going to tell all the secrets, for that you should go on the tour. Thank you, Taste of Lisboa! It was a pleasure meeting you!
Five stars for sure!
The tour far exceeded my expectations. The tour guide was knowledgeable, lively and very passionate about food and the neighborhood. I loved the area and different places she showed us and the food we ate. Part of our group met up again the next evening for dinner at the Mozambican restaurant. I definitely recommend the tour!
