Lisbon Food Tour

This tour was two cultural rituals that define the rhythm of Iberian life: fado and tapas. One feeds the soul. The other feeds everything else. Fado is Portugal’s most emotional export. It’s not just music; it’s a feeling. A deep, aching longing the Portuguese call saudade — a mix of nostalgia, love, loss, and destiny. Picture this: You’re in a dimly lit tavern. The room falls silent. A singer steps forward, backed by the delicate, shimmering sound of 2 Portuguese guitarras. The first note hangs in the air — raw, vulnerable, almost trembling. Ricardo was awesome explaining the food and the songs. If you’re looking for a cultural experience and not just some food tour, suddenly you understand Portugal a little better. Ricardo also was so knowledgeable about the history of the area as we walked through the historic areas before and after the performance.

Trotz des schlechten Wetters haben wir die Tour sehr genossen. Die Unterhaltung war großartig und auch die Informationen von Ricardo waren sehr interessant. Das Arrangement war sehr authentisch und wunderschön, und die Fadolieder waren einfach bezaubernd. Vielen lieben Dank dafür!

Ricardo war ein sehr sympathischer Guide. Es war eine sehr interessante ,informative sowie unterhaltsame Tour, die man nur weiterempfehlen kann. Trotz des schlechten Wetters gingen wir nach dem Fado noch gemeinsam zu einem tollen Aussichtspunkt. Einfach ein toller Abend für uns !

A very nice mix between cuisine and History. A must do tour for Foodie lovers who want to go beyond the beaten track of Portuguese gastronomy. I loved the variety and the pairings coming with it. 5 stars!

It was a really nice experience! I would definitly recommend it. :)

I loved how creative this tour was. It was almost as a History lecture of Portugal from the point of view of its food and how the dishes evolved over the centuries. It set the bar high for food tours!

Absolutely everyone should do a Fado tour in Lisbon. Ricardo was an excellent guide who entertaining, very informative and lots of fun. Thank you Ricardo

The guide has an impressive knowledge of Portuguese culinary traditions and its historical influences on how the dishes came to be! We went to 5 different places, each with a distinct approach. It’s a lot of food. We were rolling at the end.

Ricardo was very helpful and informative. We had a hreat time listening to Fado music and enjoying Portugese cuisine.

Eduardo was an energetic guide with rich knowledge of the history of Portugal. The best part of the tour is having meals with other travellers and comparing travelling experience.

Fantastic fado night in Lisbon

Perfect way to the good bye to this amazing city! Good food good music and Ricardo was such a nice person and i learn a lot about the portuguese cuise and culture

Eduardo was knowledgeable and made the tour interesting and enjoyable.

Die von Eduardo ausgewählten Restaurants und Bars waren sehr gut. Man hat einen sehr guten Einblick in die portugiesische Küche bekommen abseits der Touristenwege. Das Essen und die Getränke waren sehr lecker.

Eduardo took us to some great places and we had great food. A really enjoyable night.

Amazing 😍

Great food/drink tour! We got to try a ton of food at three restaurants and another two(or three) bars. Not only did we get to try a ton of local dishes and drinks, but Eduardo also explained the history/culture behind each dish. Also, loved how detailed his tour description was when choosing this tour. Everything was exactly as promised. Total cost of all food and a ton of drinks was only about 30 euros, as the tour description estimated. Definitely would recommend, especially if you’re new to Lisbon or Portuguese food/culture! Next time I’m in Lisbon, I would definitely do another tour with Eduardo, or maybe even this same one!

Ein gemütlicher Abend! Unser Guide Eduardo hat uns mit viel Herzblut die Geschichte und die Gerichte erzählt!!!!

Great tour with Edouardo, he shared a lot of historical knowledge and took us to great local shops.

Had a great time with the Tapas love Fado tour with Ricardo. Such a good experience of traditional Portuguese food and music. Something that we wouldn't have done on our own. You should have more of this type of tours for tourists to feel the culture of your country. Ricardo went above and beyond translating the meaning of the songs for us who don't understand the language. We also had a quick stop in one of the Miraduoros. Unfortunately it rained that night. Food is great! We have 3 different types: bacalhau, duck rice and pork with clams and potatoes. Sorry, can't remember the names of the dishes. He also recommended the best Vinho Verde or green wine. We are 4pax in a group and we split the bill - €2l0.50 for each.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Eduardo's tour. He took us to really great restaurants, where we were able to taste so many varieties of dishes and drinks, for just around 30 Euros per person total. This was a fabulous deal. In addition, he did a great job explaining the history and cultural significance of our dishes woven throughout a general history of Portugal. We also had a great time with our fellow diners. Compared to other food tours out there, this was great value for the money spent. Would highly recommend!

Amazing experience with music and good food

We had an awesome night with live music and very tasty food, we had 3 dishes the cod fish was very good the pork dish one of the best I ever had and also a very unique duck rice with chorizo. We had the table right in front of the singers making the experience one and only, we got to see the famous portuguese guitar and the singers were amazing. We were lucky to have a female and a male singers , giving us the real portuguese fado experience. Thanks , Ricardo for this amazing night we loved it.

I really enjoyed this good and fado tour. Just a shame there weren’t more people (for our guru who was excellent). Great food and fado show, and Ricardo explained many things to us to enhance the experience!

Ricardo was very attentive to personal food concerns and needs. Very knowledgeable and respectful. Went above and beyond.
