Full description
Lisbon's old town sits on hills steep enough to test any appetite, so this tour divides the work between a tuk-tuk and a walking tour. The morning opens in Baixa at a busy downtown counter, with the city's favorite street snack and a cold drink. Then a one-hour tuk-tuk ride winds up to one of Lisbon's highest viewpoints, passing by the main sights. Back on foot, you'll explore Alfama and Mouraria, the multicultural quarter where Fado music took root, stopping at family-run tascas for regional cheese, a traditional soup, and seafood with Portuguese wine and beer. A historic bakery supplies the sweet finish: a flaky pastel de nata.
Over 4 hours, you'll enjoy 6 food tastings and 3 drink tastings, a full meal's worth, in a group of no more than 12. Your local guide connects every bite to the city's history and leaves you with a list of places to try next. Vegetarian and gluten-free guests are welcome with advance notice.
