About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- colbyl5180 contributionsMultiple stops throughout the evening. Well designed food and drink menu as we transitioned from different meals.This was an excellent experience. 100% recommend. We were grateful for an amazing guide with superb local and regional knowledge of food and drink. You could tell the genuine passion in his voice while at each stop. You will not be disappointed.Written November 8, 2024
- mirandalD7445FU0 contributionsHighly recommend!The walking food and wine tour was such a wonderful experience! We definitely recommend this special experience for anyone bisiting Lisboa.Written November 8, 2024
- beatrizcD2622TC0 contributionsAmazing experience for a Portuguese localHelena was an amazing guide! Super informed and sweet :) I am Portuguese, so this experience was amazing for me to get to know my capital a little bit more!Written November 5, 2024
- Sightsee106953961010 contributionsAmazing Lisbon Experience!The Lisbon Food & Fado Tour with Helena was a major highlight of our family trip! Everyone enjoyed learning about the traditional cuisine and fado music while walking the narrow neighborhood streets displayed with artwork. Helena was so knowledgeable and passionate about her culture! She made us feel like one of the locals, especially when we knocked on Alice’s door in Alfama. The food was delicious and the live fado music forever memorable. I highly recommend this tour!Written November 4, 2024
- JanKooch0 contributionsDelicious Experience in Lisbon!We had a delightful experience with Alicia on our food and wine adventure through Lisbon. I loved everything I tasted and each establishment we visited was outstanding and our hosts extremely gracious. Alicia was very knowledgable and professional. I highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to have Alicia as your guide I'm sure you will enjoy your evening as much as I did!Written November 4, 2024
- Latetripper0 contributionsLisbon is a failThis was a fail on a so many levels from this tour operator. From the lack of communication to the lack of support from the help desk - this experience was beyond disappointing. We have been on a Devour Tour in the past and have enjoyed and recommended. On this occasion the meeting point was not accurate. The support team were not able to connect and let us know where we could find the group and at the end of it - we were left paying for something that we never received. What we hoped was our highlight in Lisbon was such a disappointment. And we ended up paying for their lack of communication to their customer My advice is that there are other tour operators that will value your business more than Devour Tours. Sorry James. We used to be a fan.Written November 2, 2024
- 67countriesandgoing0 contributionsDelicious way to experience LisbonMy mother and I did this tour mid October and it was wonderful. Our guide Helena was fantastic, she was very engaging, funny and passionate about Lisbon and it's food. I would highly recommend doing this tour at the start of your time in Lisbon so you can get some excellent recommendations and learn more about the food scene. The food itself on the tour was great and it was nice to actually go into restaurants to sit rather then just eat quickly on the sidewalk as many other food tours often do.Written October 29, 2024
- Glenn F0 contributionsGreat Food Tour in LisbonMy group and I went on the Barrio Food Tour in Lisbon last night and had a great time. I had 14 guests which needed two separate tours. The guides were so knowledgeable and helpful along with a nice choice of local restaurants. Alicia and Eva were excellent guides with lots of personality and excellent knowledge of the city. I would highly recommend this food tour while in Lisbon! ❤️Written October 27, 2024

I did a gastronomic tour with Devour and it was fantastic. The guide walked us through very interesting marklands of Lisbon while making stops in local restaurants with the best Portuguese food I ate during my whole time in the city. I could really see the compromise of Devour to promote and take care of traditional and local restaurants, the food was amazing and the stories the guide shared with us were very interesting and amusing. Great experience if you want to travel in an authentic way!

Even after one food tour in Lisbon and many trips around the country these past few years, we were surprised that we still have a lot to learn about Portugal's cuisine and traditions.
We have spent 3 incredible hours with our guide Rita, a local from Lisbon. She made us try delicious typical food and taught us about the history of the city and the country.
We definitely recommend taking a tour with Devour and Rita ! Can't wait for our next food tour.

Hi Clara, thanks for the review! We are so happy to hear that Rita was able to show you more about Lisbon and it's amazing food and culture. It is so easy to spend time in a place but to not see everything. That is why we love giving food tours because it gives us a few hours to share great food, drinks and stories with people.
We hope to see you on tour again with us! Stay safe

We had a fantastic time on our tour. Four of us (three adults, one 10yo child) had a great time exploring Lisboa. A few of us were already quite familiar with the city, and a few of us were there visiting for the first time. Sarah had something to offer all of us (including some great recommendations for later in the week!). A great city, a great tour guide, a great tour. Would absolutely recommend.

Hello there!
It's fantastic to hear that your whole family enjoyed discovering Lisbon with us! You are right that Sara is full of great recommendations for the city, for both first-timers and seasoned visitors alike.
I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your time in the city, it sounds like you were able to make great use of Sara's recommendations!

Taking this tour was easily our greatest decision during our recent trip to Lisbon. As we were the only two who booked the tour for the day, we were lucky enough to have a "private" tour guided by an amazing guide, Ruth. Ruth was able to seamlessly weave the food, culture, and history of Lisbon together into a reasonably paced walking tour where we experienced a variety of cuisine and drink.
This tour, and the wealth of knowledge that Ruth was able to provide, gave us a really solid foundation to explore the city and cuisine on our own in the following days. I would highly recommend this tour, and would urge you to schedule it during the first day(s) of your trip. Well worth it!

Dear daniel_seattle12,
We are extremely grateful for the review you provided. That is the best pleasure to read such a comment and understand that our hard work is worth it.
We work tenaciously to provide our guests with the highest level of service.
Our tours run even with one person booked, and it is nice to hear that you have enjoyed the "private" tour for you and your partner.
We are delighted that you liked the mix of food and history and that the guide was able to make it unforgettable for you. We are happy that, thanks to our tour, you had an opportunity not only to relax and have fun but also to learn more about the city itself and plan your following days.
We hope you spent an unforgettable rest of your trip in Lisbon, and look forward to seeing you with us in the near future again!
Kind regards,
Sasha

This was a wonderful way to start my trip in Lisbon. The tour is now operating for private groups to give customers more comfort in the post COVID world. My tour guide Rita was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Portuguese food and tradition. She took me around the city to explore local gems and told me about the history / stories of food I tried or about Lisbon / Portugal. As some venues remain closed post lock down, she was still able to plan out a way for me to try everything intended. After the tour she even gave me advice to help me plan the rest of my trip. I highly recommend Devour Tours.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review about your time with Rita. We love hearing that our guests had a great time, but it's even more important to us at times like this. Rita is a fantastic person to spend time with on your trip to Lisbon, she - and the rest of our team! - are really passionate about sharing their hometown with visitors. I hope we will see you in Spain or one of our other cities in Europe again soon!

Such a wonderful tour. Cecilia was a lovely guide. She intertwined culture, food, customs, history and drink in a wonderful way. We learned about the good, the bad, the ugly - and the very tasty! I would highly recommend doing this as soon as possible once arriving in Lisboa, as it gives a great perspective of the city and helps you plan what to do next. I think this tour attracts really cool people as well. Loved the conversations with other people. Got the scoop on what to do in Ireland on a future trip (great bonus!)
Be sure to be ready to walk and be outdoors. Wear comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing for the season. We visited in late May, so shorts, sunglasses and flip flops were perfect.

Unfortunately I had to cancel my trip tp Portugal and therefore my Devour food tour due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
I cannot praise Devour’s response more highly. They were proactive in contacting me, offering a full refund or a voucher. I chose the voucher option which I received two days later. The voucher offered great flexibility both in terms of timing and in use.
I was also impressed by the responsible attitude displayed by Devour who were keen to balance the interests of their employees, tourists and the communities within which they operate.
I look forward to taking my Devour “Tastes and Traditions of Lisbon Food Tour” when international travel resumes.

Rita was our guide for the trip, very knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm, after introductions were made, we were off. The tour covered a wide range of tastes and venues, taking in all that the locals like to eat and drink. Coffee and cakes to start, then Ginjinha to set us up for the day. Rita not only talked about food but gave us a history lesson behind each item we sampled and also stopped at places of historic significance to tell us a little more about history, which was all both informative and put across in an enjoyable way. We were taken to a local family run restaurant to sample Bacalhau à brás, octopus, prawns etc and washed it down with a glass of wine. We had Bifanas -pork sandwich with sweet mustard and piri piri oil (delicious) washed down with a beer. It lasted around 4.5hrs and finished up in the timeout food Market, the food hall was packed but the trading stalls were empty due to it being a holiday, pastel de nata ( custard tarts), ended the trip. All in all a very very good way to spend half a day in Lisbon and if you are lucky enough to have Rita as your guide she will ensure it is filled with fun and laughter.

We had a great time eating our way through Lisbon with Devour tours and our guide Ruth! Prior to our visit we found their video on Youtube to get an idea of what Portuguese food was like and we found it so helpful that we booked with them! The tour was well organized and generous in serving sizes. Come hungry because you will definitely eat a lot! Ruth offered some great insights into the general history of neighborhoods we explored as well as the history/culture of the food we ate. It was a great way to explore and get introduced to the city. I would highly suggest booking the tour for your first day in Lisbon so you get a good introduction and have time to re(eat) all the delicious foods!!!! They also offer a discount code at the end of the tour so you can eat your way through another city the next time you travel. Don't forget to tip - it's not suggested but always appreciated!

Spent a wonderful day with Lorena and Devour tours learning about the food and history of Lisbon. And eating and drinking a lot too! From iconic pastries to bacalao, iberico ham and ginja. Woven throughout was ancient and modern history. Lorena also gave restaurant recs for later and we enjoyed Faca e Garfo for an affordable, local dinner in Chiado. TY to the entire Devour team for also providing great customer service when we had problem with our reservation (that was entirely my fault).

Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to stay outside for eating experiences on this tour, as my father is immunocompromised and would love to avoid indoor dining.
Written June 30, 2022
I think so -but I would definitely let the company/guide know in advance! We ate indoors for the first stop at Confeitaria Nacional (espresso/donuts) and O Trevo (bifanas) but they definitely have tables outside of both. There is a stop at the indoor Time Out market as well - otherwise everything was outdoors.
Written July 1, 2022
Curious just how much walking is involved here. I have a participant that can walk, but not always well or for extended periods of time. I’m wondering how much walking is required between each stop (5 minutes? 15 minutes?) and are many going uphill. I did see one from the description.
Thanks so much!
Written May 14, 2022
There was quite a bit of walking and some fairly steep uphill inclines and steps up and down. It was a great tour but if you’re concerned about walking, steps, and incline’s, you might want to choose something else
