Food wine and history. Great experience
Leonor was incredible. So knowledgeable about the city, neighborhoods, food and wine. The selected restaurants, food and wine offered a perfect cross section of Portuguese dishes and culture. Highly recommend the private tour to avoid larger groups for a more personal experience .

Feast and Fun in Lisbon
My husband and I had a fun afternoon on the food tour with Amanda. We were a group of 12 and had such fun together during the tour. All the dishes we tasted were good and we enjoyed the history and background that Amanda provided. The climb up the hill to get to the second part of the tour burned a lot of calories but was worth it in the end. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you and your husband had such a fun afternoon with Amanda and enjoyed both the food and the stories behind it. It’s lovely to know the group atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable, and that the walk was well worth the effort! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Eating Lisbon: Private Food and Wine Tour with Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
