Excellent Food Tour of Lisbon
Carlos was extremely kind and welcoming to us as we had a great food tour going around the city. Carlos also had great knowledge of the cities history so we were able to learn a bunch of things about Lisbon as we moved from restaurant to restaurant. All in all the tour was fantastic.

Great Experience!
Carlos was absolutely amazing as a tour guide. This tour is a perfect combination of history and some great stops for food and drink. Well worth the price, it was a great experience for everyone in our family of 5 ages 14-50.
