    Great time in Campo de Ourique

    My family and I were visiting Lisbon and wanted to have a chance to see the area thru the eyes of a native. I booked the tour with Joao and it was fantastic. He is so friendly and helpful and has so much great info to share about his neighborhood and Lisbon in general. He gave us a small tour of Campo de Ouriqu which was great to see. We had an amazing time and I would highly recommend you take one of his tours when you are in Lisbon.

    Response from the operator: Nice to hear from you again. Thank you very much for the review and we are happy that you enjoyed our food tour and especially in my neighborhood :-) Hope that we meet again next time you come back to Portugal. Until then, all the best, João Dickmann

    Sophisticated yet comfortable local experience with LOTS to eat

    João gave a wonderful overview of Portuguese cuisine! He made sure we got to try things we had not tried before and learned the seven stable items in the Portuguese menu. He explained where foods came from and how they were grown. He gave the wonderful overview of the city market in his neighborhood, Campo de Orique, and how the Mercado was redeveloped to support the changing community and become a center of local community. We walked around in an untouristed local neighborhood and indoor market trying more food than we could possibly eat and taking home desserts to enjoy later. The whole experience was comfortable and relaxed and did not involve very much walking, which was a bonus for us! He helped us identify wines, not included in the tour but available for purchase at the market to match our foods. Our guide was multilingual (Portuguese, German, Spanish, English, French and more) and knew about many parts of the world. Overall a very enjoyable experience that will leave you feeling very full and curious to try more foods the next time!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so very much for your review dear Rose! It was a pleasure being with you guys. The challenge of this tour is when we have travellers that have been in Lisbon for a while… they already tried food around Lisbon. But we still manage to give our local foods with a bit of history and knowledge. As we had one of the richest (diverse) gastronomy in Europe, it also makes it easier for us to show it to you. My neighbourhood is also a very “peculiar” one: being in Lisbon, but away from all the tourist attractions. Just us “locals”… :-) And who does not like to eat and drink!? Warmest Regards and hope to have you back soon, Joao Dickmann

    Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.

    How much does Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish cost?

    +

    Prices start at €125 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 Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish?

    +

    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 Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish?

    +

    Around 4 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish 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.

    What is included in Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish?

    +

Not included: Any other items not mentioned in the description. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    We will meet all our travelers in front of the "HF Fénix Lisboa" hotel in the Marques de Pombal Square. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish offered in?

    +

    Is Taste of Tradition: Olive Oil, Wine & Fish wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
