Olá from Lisbon! My name is Cecilia, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Art History. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and moved to Lisbon ten years ago—quickly falling in love with this city’s light, history, and quiet magic. I’ve been guiding since 2006, first in Buenos Aires and now in Portugal, and what I enjoy most is creating meaningful connections between travelers and this beautiful country. Lisbon is one of Europe’s oldest capitals, a place where tradition and resilience are part of daily life, and I love helping visitors understand its culture, stories, and unique personality. My tours blend history, art, architecture, and local culture in a way that is accessible, engaging, and deeply human. Whether you prefer a relaxed walk through charming neighborhoods or a customized itinerary tailored to your interests, I’m here to create an experience that feels personal and memorable. I can also arrange private transportation when needed, through trusted professional drivers. Looking forward to welcoming you to Lisbon and sharing the city I’ve come to call home. Warm regards, Cecilia RNAAT Nº 34/2025

Overview of your Lisbon tour

Food in Lisbon is more than tradition — it is a reflection of history, geography, and identity. On this walking tour, we explore the city through its most representative flavors while uncovering the stories behind them. From conventual sweets to savory dishes rooted in maritime culture, each taste reveals something about Portugal’s past and present. We will visit a selection of historic vendors — some operating for over a century — along with lively local spots that continue to shape Lisbon’s culinary scene today. As we move between neighborhoods, I will connect gastronomy with architecture, trade routes, political shifts, and everyday life. The pace is relaxed and conversational, with time to enjoy each stop and ask questions along the way. By the end of the tour, you will not only have tasted Lisbon — you will better understand it.

Your Lisbon tour itinerary

I will meet you at your hotel, cruise terminal or the point that we set. This experience includes 5 to 6 carefully chosen stops. Tastings typically feature a mix of sweets, pork, fish, and local beverages such as wine or beer. The specific venues and selections are adjusted according to your interests and dietary preferences.

Transport details
Type: Walking

Since the tour is mainly in the city center, we can easily walk and use escalators to move around. This is the default option for this tour. If you prefer, I can hire a modern car with driver who can drive us or a tuk tuk. Please be aware: some points are very busy and others are hard to park since we are in the city center. Traffic jam can also delay the experience. If you prefer a car the maximum travelers would be 3 and the tour price will be higher, since you will have to add the car fee to the budget. Please contact me for a customized tour if you wish this option.
