      A must tour. Include a Tuk Tuk

      Great tour of Sintra/Cabo da Roca and Cascais
      This was our second time working with Filipa and Alfacinha LX. In 2022, we did a private food tour and in May 2024, we returned and made a full-day trip to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. Filipa is tremendously knowledgable and enthusiastic about Portuguese history, culture and food and also about the logistics of touring, all of which was a tremendous benefit. She worked with us in advance to plan the Sintra visit, choosing the best locations and -- no small thing in Sintra -- avoiding the worst of the crowding. Her recommendations were perfect and made for a great day. This was a wonderful way to see Sintra and get the most out of it. Our driver was terrific as well!

      A pleasant experience
      I was travelling alone, so I was lucky enough to get a private tour, moving at our own pace. Filipa is very knowledgeable and empathetic. She is very easy to warm up to and made me feel comfortable right away. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour and I would highly recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Lisbon. Bring a hat and comfortable shoes with good traction; there is a small amount of uphill/downhill walking on slippery cobblestone.

      Tasting through Lisbon
      Filipa is a delightful tour guide in Lisbon. She clearly loves her city and enjoys sharing it with guests. She interspersed Portugal's history with the food tour, making everything that much more meaningful. We roamed the city, tasting Pastel de nata, sardines, cheese, port, green wine, ginjinha, among other traditional flavors. Filipa is open and energetic. It was fun to spend the day with her.

      This is THE private food tour of Lisbon you want to book with
      Wow, what a wonderful day! We worked with Filipa on a private 5-hour food focused walking tour of Lisbon and it was truly a 5-star experience! Filipa’s knowledge of and passion for the culture, the history and the food and beverages (coffee, port, wine and ginginha) of Lisbon is second to none. She worked with us to personalize the tour and was very in-tuned to what we wanted to taste and see. We never felt rushed and stayed longer where we wanted and moved on when we were ready and as a result we were together for well over the 5-hours we booked. The “tour” was more like spending the day with a relative or friend as it seamlessly flowed from food to history to culture to food again. We stayed off the typical tourist track and what we saw, where we tasted and dined left a lastly impression and created life long memories of our time in Lisbon. We can’t wait to go back and when we do we’ll definitely reach out to Filipa again. We Highly recommend that you connect with Filipa the value for the money was unbelievable!

      Belem with an expert.
      Filipa met us at our hotel and arranged a cab to get us to Belem. While we were there, she provided us with a lot of details and facts that we would not have otherwise found. She took us through a botanical garden and gave us a lot of good insights on how to plan a more detailed visit to some of the other sights in the area. Her explanations were very comprehensive and we definitely benefited from her in-depth local knowledge. Working with Filipa added a lot to our trip and I highly recommend her

      Excellent local guide with many insights
      I booked my tours with Filipa a number of months in advance of our trip. We did a walking tour of Lisbon and then another that was in Belem. Filipa was responsive and gracious in answering questions and stayed in touch prior to our trip. On the day of our first tour, she met us on time at the designated spot. It turned out that our tour coincided with a large roadrace but she was able to work around it. We saw numerous spots that we would have otherwise missed and stopped for a local pastry. Filipa provided a lot of insights and historical background information. For our second tour, she met us at our hotel and coordinated a cab to get us to Belem. Once there, she again gave a lot of local perspective and insights. Our objective on this trip was to get a closer feel for Lisbon than just seeing tourist point. Filipa was an excellent resource for that and I highly recommend her.

      Filipa was amazing! We covered so much ground. It was great to go through the neighborhoods with her. She gave so much context and history as we tasted and walked through Lisbon. I highly recommend this tour. There was so much food provided. This tour is definitely worth it! I am so glad we selected this tour.

      Superb Lisbon Food Tour!
      We had an absolutely fantastic food tour with Philipa! She was warm, well prepared, highly informative and presented an array of delicious and delightful tastings of authentic Portuguese dishes and beverages. We had so many tastings that by the end we were completely satiated but also we felt like we had so much fun and learned so much. Philipa was a terrific guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and felt like she went well beyond our expectations in providing and super food tour in Lisbon!!

      Wonderful food tour - best way to start a visit!
      Filipa gave us a fantastic introduction to Lisbon. Her private food tour, which included centuries of history, decades of politics and many aspects of Portuguese culture as well as food and drink, was the perfect beginning for our two week visit to the country. If you can book a tour with Filipa on your first day in Lisbon, it's an ideal way to get oriented. Filipa is knowledgable, warm, lively and easygoing -- in short, she's great company. We walked through multiple neighborhoods at a relaxed pace. We covered a lot of ground, got a great feel for the city and ate generous portions of delicious food and drank our fill of Portuguese wine. The experience was personal and Filipa made sure it truly revolved around our interests. We learned a ton and we got great advice from Filipa about what to do in Lisbon as well as in other parts of the country we planned to visit. She was a terrific resource. Filipa was also extremely generous with her time before we arrived -- so much so that when she came to meet my husband, our daughter and me I felt like I was greeting an old friend. On our next visit to Portugal, we will make sure to plan time to do other tours with Filipa.

      fabulous private tour, history and food
      Filipa was a beyond wonderful as a guide. She is knowledgable, friendly, warm. She has curated a really thoughtful tour with four stops for local food and beverage. Using food as the theme, we saw much of Lisbon, its history and architecture.

      food intervwoven with history
      Our tour leader thoughtfully curated a long walk through Lisbon that encompassed history, architecture, and traditions into the foodie theme. She was knowledgeable, friendly and charming. We made 4 stops for food/bev along the way. She had made reservations ahead so there was no waiting. Highly recommend.
