Uncovering Lisbon with Kika - Kika was recommended to my husband and I by friends who toured with her last year - and they were right! We had an excellent food tour. Kika was wonderful - very knowledgeable about the food, as well as the history of Lisbon, the people, and their traditions. Good pacing, friendly restaurant owners, delicious foods. We recommended one of the restaurants to friends (Garum) and they thought is was one of the best meals they had in Lisbon. We have already recommended Kika and this tour to friends who are going to Lisbon in June

Savoring the flavors of Lisbon - One of the joys of traveling is exploring new cities and sampling local cuisine, thoughtfully prepared. Our culinary backstreets tour in Lisbon did all that, and more, due to our excellent guide Kika who loves good food, and her city, and conveyed that knowledge and appreciation to our small group. In the hours we spent together we learned much about the authentic food of Portugal, and its cultural origins, the wine, and the history of the country. How great to meet those who prepared our food, and owned and operated these small establishments!

Five Star - This tour experience is top notch. Andre is easy going, knowledgeable and engaging. He loved sharing his city with us and obviously had a wonderful rapport with local providers. He timed our stops perfectly for sunset at a Graça Mirador (maybe harder with daylight savings!). The pace was relaxed with a delightful blend of culture, conversation, information and great food. Thanks Andre!! (We went back to Susana’s and she recognized us!)

The best possible introduction to Lisbon - Our second Culinary Backstreets tour and, once again, it was outstanding. Our tour guide Kika was incredibly knowledgeable, and not just about food. We learned about Portuguese history, politics, sports, religion, music and so much more. And, of course, we ate great food at cool little neighborhood spots that we never would have known or been comfortable to visit on our own. There is no better way to be introduced to a new city in a foreign country than Culinary Backstreets.

Fantastic Tour Guide and Food Tour! - This was our first time using Culinary Backstreets and they did not disappoint! Patricia was a fantastic guide - warm and friendly and full of knowledge. Her background as an archaeologist brought a new perspective to our neighborhood tour, both on a cultural and historical level. Every place she brought us truly felt authentic and local. All the dishes were delicious, we tried many things new to us and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. It was special to get an impromptu tour by the Owner of a local kitchen getting ready to open soon for the first time. I do think that Patricia’s energetic personality really made this tour special, we will seek her out the next time we re in Lisbon.
