Lisbon Food & Wine Walk

The reviews for this company look good on Trip Advisor. But, 12-14 people walking around with a guide in Lisbon is less than optimum. The sidewalks in Chiado and. Bairro Alto are narrow and a lot of the bars are pretty small. If you have a bit more money, Your Friend in Lisbon does a great private walking tour with just your traveling group. It was the best money I spent in scouting out Lisbon as an area to live. The guide gave us a lot of history, showed us the 'secret' elevators to help with the hills and showed us the high points of the city.
A good food tour company is Taste of Lisbon. They limit their groups to 8, which works better IMO.
Any way you go, you will enjoy Lisbon. It's a great city!

We just did this tour when we were there at the beginning of April, and it was FANTASTIC! Our tour guide was Tiago. I would suggest calling and finding out which nights he does the tour. He was really great. It was advertised as a 3 hour tour with 4 stops. Our tour was more around 4 or 5 hours with 6 or 7 stops. We had 11 people in our group, and it was very manageable. Each place we went to was prepared for our group, so there was an area set aside for us to sit and taste the wine and eat.

We had such a good time with the group that we all hung out after the tour was over. I always find the food & wine tours an excellent way to get introduced to the city, as well as fellow travelers with the same interests. When you add a great tour guide like Tiago to the mix, it's a must do in my opinion.

Thank you for your thoughts and comments. Looking forward to our trip

We just booked this tour: http://culinarybackstreets.com/tours-food-tours/tours-lisbon/2016/song-sea-fish-seafood-tradition-lisbons-port-zone/#more-16428. Not cheap but looks great! We will then go to our Best of Portugal welcome and dinner. We will be happy, but maybe not too hungry!
