Excellent food and history tour
Highly recommended. Substantial tasting and food and drinks. Our guide was the best, Bianca. We got to go to four local tabernas which was specials Pick tours with Treasures of Lisbon
via Viator
Food and Drink Tour
Enjoyed the food and drink menu variety. The tour guide Francisco was very knowledgeable, explained our food composition, how it was used for specific occasions, and spoke excellent English. Make certain everyone was doing well.
via Viator
Slow and not much fun
Some good food at the end, first three were fails. Francisco our guide tried hard but was not very personable and kind of lost me when he said he’s not from the area. Previous Viator tours were great because the guides have been locals with friends along the way, a personal experience where we met the families who owned and ran the restaurants. This was not like this. And we sat too long, bored waiting to go to the next stop. Some of the food was cold (fries with cod pretty ick), but the octopus salad and cheese tray, pastries and cherry liquor in chocolate cups very good. Not engaging, just wanted it to be over. Sorely disappointed as it seemed we were just sitting in random hot restaurants with strangers and mediocre food
via Viator
Great Tour
This was a great tour. Bianca was AMAZING. She did such a great job explaining the history of the Almafa district, the history of the restaurants, the food and the wine we were drinking. It was great to have a historical reference it really helped us to understand Portugal better. All the restaurant owners were friendly. We even went back to one of the restaurants for dinner. If you are a foodie and/or like history, you will enjoy this tour.
via Viator
Fabulously Authentic Food/Wine Tour
Bianca was our guide and she was wonderful! We got to go to five different spots and the walking was pretty easy given the hills in Lisbon. We sampled several delicious traditional dishes accompanied by wine (and one beer) along the way and the servings were generous. More importantly, the hosts were all family run businesses with long standing roots and traditions in Lisbon. We got thorough explanations of everything we were trying, with a side of history from Bianca, who had quite the sense of humor and got us to play a few low pressure games. At the end we stopped at an authentically curated gift shop with locally made items (Patria Rustica) along with a taste of cherry liquor in a dark chocolate cup. I highly recommend this tour!

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District cost?
+
Prices start at €105 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 Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2,127 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District?
+
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 Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District?
+
Around 744 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Small-Group Food Tour with 18 Tastings in Alfama District 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.
