With everything pre-arranged, you’ll skip the queues and dive straight into authentic tastes as your expert local guide leads you from the Tagus River through grand squares and past landmarks like Igreja de São Domingos, sharing the story of the “new Lisbon” rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. This immersive tour takes you to cosy taverns, family-run restaurants, and popular street-food spots. Along the way, you’ll savour classic petiscos, fresh seafood dishes, and iconic bites like the bifana, all complemented by drinks such as Vinho Verde, local beer, and Ginjinha. And of course, no food tour is complete without a sweet treat, a traditional Portuguese dessert, the perfect finale before you continue your evening with fellow food lovers.

Stop 1
We’ll meet in front of the Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. Keep an eye out for a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" sign.
