Super tour
Awesome experience! The guide really knows his stuff. He’s a local guy and speaks mandarin - the tour really encompasses a plethora of Asian dishes cooked by natives. Being local myself , I gained a lot of references to go back to . Thanks , Mathieu :)

The food, the guide, the concept
Lisbon is a city swarming with low quality prepaid tasteless tours, however, this tour was the opposite. The guide was great, took us on a different perspective of the town, showing us the original DNA of a city which was once the biggest port in the world, open to a diversified pot of cultures. Definitely recommend it.

Fantastic Food Tour with Mathieu!
Great food tour with Mathieu! Had an awesome time. Mathieu was a great guide, super chill and gave us some cool insights about the food, the city, and its history. The places we visited were awesome, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend it if you want to try something different in Lisbon!

Were hopeful, but went through a miscommunication from them, not through unfortunately.
I gave it 2 stars, because it didn't happen. We were waiting for the spot, but nobody came. One friendly man from the hotel, where you had to wait, helped us with calling, to the tour operator. The Guide was unable to do the tour and had indicated this to the organization. Only it hadn't been communicated to us. We then had a drink on the rooftop of the hotel and went for dinner at a restaurant nearby, which our tuk tuk Guide had recommended. Good food!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $113 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 Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience 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 Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 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 Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience?
+
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 Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience 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 Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience?
+
Around 1 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 Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience 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 Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience?
+
Included: Carbonated beverages; Alcoholic beverages; Expert commentary from knowledgeable guides; Snacks; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience?
+
We will meet in front of Hotel Mundial. The tour guide will call clients by name. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Visionary Underground Asian Food Experience if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Lisbon. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
