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.

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!

Loved this tour - My wife and I had a wonderful tour around Joao's neighbourhood on our food tour with him. We have done several tours over the years in groups and at times had a hard time getting the attention of the guide. This was our first private tour so we had Joao's full attention, what a treat. Some of the food tours we have done have turned into more a walking than food tour. This on the other hand was the opposite, a leisurely stroll through the neighbourhood then a sit down at the Mercado where Joao entertained us with the food history of Portugal and the Mercado and plenty of different servings of traditional dishes. We left very full and happy. Thank you Joao.

Great overview of Portuguese food and history - We really enjoyed this tour with John, our guide. He was very knowledgeable about both Portuguese food and history, and was able to tie them together so we better understood how the different types of Portuguese food evolved over time. The tour is very food-centric; most of the time is spent tasting and talking about food, which is exactly what we were looking for. There is some walking from place to place but it is not primarily a walking tour.
Overall, highly recommended!

Great food and great conversation - This was a lovely way to spend late a afternoon and early evening. Campo Ourique is not a district we would have seen and has a wonderful collection of food. Rodrigo was passionate engaging and knowledgeable guide. We went hungry, which is the right plan, and as we moved through the area from aperitif to dessert we learned a great deal about the food and also Portugal itself. From a food perspective it is all good but the highlights for us were the aperitif in the park, the tuna steak, the chocolate cake and a lovely pastel de nata. We chose to get a couple of glasses of wine and were helped with our choices and it was all excellent. We thoroughly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour! - We certainly loved this tour! We met at a market and went through the neighborhood making several stops. We went back to the market for the tuna we had on the tour two more times during our stay in Lisbon. We have also recreated the tuna back home. It was that good! My husband doesn't really like sweets and he loved both things we had and ate every bite! The food is excellent there and our guide was amazing! If you are into food, you need to do this tour!
