“What an unexpected treat experiencing this exploring & tasting tour of the city! I started the tour with João shortly after checking into my hotel, and immediately felt as if I was tapping into the soul of the city. When we entered each of the businesses, we were greeted warmly and it was clear that João knew everyone. Most importantly, we were expected which illustrated the planning by both the guide and his company Bluedragon City Tours! The tour stops were just as described, and in the perfect order for that day. João led the tour at the perfect pace with a balance of historical facts, architectural highlights, and of…”

Porto craft beer tour review with seven beers, Portuguese food pairings, local bars, market stops, pricing, tips, and practical details.
“We had a small tour (just the two of us) and it was wonderful. Our guide Inez was so lovely and personable and the tour itself really highlighted a section of Porto we weren’t familiar with yet! We now have a few favourite spots from that tour. It was equal parts tasty (beer/food) and informative! So much beer - thankfully the walking and the food balances it out!”
Review of Porto’s Douro Valley and Amarante tour, with Port tasting, river cruise, tapas, scenic stops, and practical booking advice.
“Our guide Antonio is super helpful and nice. We have a flight right after the tour. After getting ok from the other party in the tour (it is a 7 person van), he sent us back first to our hotel. He also called the hotel to arrange taxi for us and called later to confirm we are on time for the flight. In short, Antonio is a great example of perfect host/guide. I would book his tour or recommend him to anyone!”
Taste 10+ Portuguese specialties and wines while walking Lisbon’s Alfama, Baixa, and Mouraria with a small local group.
“Good tour overall. Kind of slow paced for us, but we had some slower walkers in the group. The food was ok. We have done secret food tours in the past and enjoyed them more. There was an option for an upgrade to have some extra drinks that we were not offered in our booking through Viator. I would have definitely asked for this upgrade. The wine/alcohol pours were very small and not full pours at any of the stops.”
Taste 19 Portuguese food and drink specialties across Baixa, Mouraria, and Alfama on this small-group Lisbon walking tour.
“This was a small, intimate group of 4 guests and our guide Rodrigo. We visited small family owned restaurants that most people would have missed. The food and drinks were authentic and delicious. Rodrigo was fun, kind and informative, not just about the food, but with information on the history of each neighborhood we visited and Portugal in general. The other guests were a pleasure to spend time with and we had a wonderful evening.”
