Fantastic experience, highly recommend - This was such a unique experience. We went to places I would never have stumbled across myself. The guide Jaime made the evening really fun and was also very informative and shared fascinating information about the places and food. It was a small group so it was easy to mingle as a group.

Fantastic food tour through Bairro Alto - Raquel did a fantastic job guiding us through the Bairro Alto neighborhood to each of the 4 stops where the food and drinks were wonderful, especially the pastels de nata at the end. Also, she gave us a great recommendation (Trobadores) for our midday meal the next day. All in all, the tour is a great "local" experience and is highly recommended.

Wonderful experience - The entire experience was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Raquel, was a Lisbon native and gave us a nice overview of the history of Lisbon as we navigated our way to the restaurants on the tour. All of the food was delicious and I left feeling full and satisfied. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a food tour mixed with a brief walking tour of the city. Come prepared to get your steps in!

Fun, relaxing and educational experience - This was our first walking food tour with Devour and we would highly recommend it. The tour provided a low-key, educational but fun introduction to a bit of the history and culture of the city. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable, and it was nice interacting with some of the other participants. There was more than enough food and drink sampled. We visited neighborhoods that we might have otherwise overlooked, and we returned to one of those areas for dinner the following night.

Enjoyable and delicious evening - We had a lovely time with Agathe and 6 other travelers. The stops and food were so well selected and I really enjoyed hearing the history behind some of the foods. She was very knowledge and was easy to chat with. If you are looking for a food tour, this is the one!

Not to be missed! - Very informative and Davide was a great host.
Would highly recommend.
Bit of a panic on our part regarding the meeting point as it is quite a large area. The guide was holding a red bag with the "devours" logo but other than that no other clue so arrive a bit early to avoid the panic.

Amazing food tour - We had the best time on this tour. Food was great, our group was great, and our host, Alicia was amazing. Her knowledge about Lisbon, Lisbon culture, and the food was top notch. We would do this again in a heart beat. Next time we see a Devour Tours offering, we will be booking!

Food tour in Lisbon - We love Devour tours. The right mix of food and history. Our guide, Eva, was excellent! I recommend taking this tour early in your stay in Lisboa. Lots of tips of where to go, what to see, and what to avoid. This tour mostly required walking downhill, but some level of fitness for walking is required. Not too bad. Highly recommend!

We've Done Several Devour Tours - always a trip Highlight! - We do a Devour tour in any city we visit that they offer a tour. It's always a great way to find places you wouldn't otherwise go to, eat dishes you might not otherwise try, and get a nice lesson on history and culture. Every guide we've had has been amazing. We usually do it our first night out (allowing for jet lag) so we can learn a bit about the local food and culture to base the rest of our stay around. And the walking is super easy and nothing to worry about. Its always one of the highlights of our trip. (So far we've done Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon - all wonderful).
