Review of the 12-hour Algarve to Lisbon tour, covering Belém landmarks, central Lisbon, shopping time, transport, guides, and value.
“A very nice day in Lisbon. Our guide Dominica was very knowledgeable about Lisbon and Portugal. Coach very comfortable too.”
Shop at Porto’s Bolhão Market, cross the Luís I Bridge, and enjoy a small-group showcooking class with wine and classic Portuguese dishes.
“Overall, this activity was as advertised but not as ‘hands on’ as we would expected for a ‘cooking’ class…it was more of a ‘demonstration’ class. Both hosts were very nice and attentive to our needs and questions.”
Shop Lisbon’s local market, cook Portuguese dishes with a chef, and share a wine-paired lunch in a small group of up to 12.
“What an amazing immersion experience with Chef Pedro! We started off the lesson visiting a local market where we shipped for fresh seafood and vegetables for our ingredients. While there we also got to sample local bread and cheeses. The class itself was a bit of work but lots of fun. Even my teenage daughter enjoyed rolling up her sleeves and learning to cook. We made a 4 course meal consisting of bread soup, mussels, seafood captaplana and orange torte. We also got to sample some oysters and goose barnacles. All in all a wonderful way to spend 1/2 a day learning more about the Portuguese culture. Highly recommend!”
Cross the Tagus to Almada for Paula’s private market walk, Portuguese-Goan cooking lesson, and relaxed meal in a local home.
“While it was absolutely pouring rain, Paula lit up our spirits and taught us a lot about Lisbon, cooking and life. She is a regular celebrity it her community with everyone from market owners to folks in the street stopping to say hello. Our food turned out well and we enjoyed the day.”
Pick a coastline, a cellar or a cave.
