“We booked the Lisbon Food Walking Tour for our company group and it honestly exceeded expectations. We had people from several different countries, some who had already visited Lisbon and others who were here for the first time, and somehow the experience worked perfectly for everyone. The food was wonderful, but this was much more than just moving from restaurant to restaurant. We walked through beautiful parts of the old city, heard stories about Lisbon and Portuguese traditions, and had plenty of time at each stop to talk, eat and enjoy ourselves. Nothing felt rushed. Our guide was excellent and Portugal Magik made the entire organization incredibly easy. A great choice for a corporate group.”

“I arranged this experience for 22 guests as part of an incentive trip to Portugal. From an organizer perspective, everything was seamless. Communication before the event was excellent, the meeting arrangements were clear and the team was ready for us when we arrived. What impressed me most was how natural the experience felt. With corporate activities, there is always a risk of things feeling too organized or forced. This was exactly the opposite. Within 20 minutes everyone was talking, laughing and enjoying Lisbon. The combination of Portuguese food, wine, local neighborhoods and history worked beautifully. Several guests told me afterward that this was their favorite activity of the entire program.”

“My clients LOVED this tour. I am a travel advisor in California and booked Portugal Magik for a private group spending several days in Lisbon. The food tour was scheduled for their first afternoon, which turned out to be a great decision because it gave everyone an introduction to the city without feeling like a traditional sightseeing tour. They particularly loved the smaller local establishments and the stories behind the different foods they tasted. From my side, Portugal Magik was responsive, professional and very easy to work with. That matters enormously when you are trusting another company with your clients overseas. I would happily book this experience again.”

“Our group consisted of 14 colleagues with very different ages and interests, so choosing an activity everyone would enjoy was not particularly easy. This one was a winner. The pace was relaxed, there was not too much walking, and there was a nice balance between eating, exploring and learning about Lisbon. Nobody felt like they were sitting through a history lesson, but we actually learned quite a lot. By the end of the tour everyone was asking our guide for restaurant recommendations for the rest of the week. That probably says everything!”

“This was our second experience with Portugal Magik and once again the service was outstanding. We were a fairly large private group, but the experience still felt personal. What I particularly appreciated was the flexibility. We never had the impression that someone was watching the clock or pushing us toward the next stop. Our guide read the group extremely well and adjusted the rhythm accordingly. And the food, come hungry! We tried far more than we expected and discovered several Portuguese dishes that none of us knew before. By the final stop, everyone was already discussing which places they wanted to return to. A wonderful way to discover Lisbon and especially good for groups.”

“We had been in meetings for two days and desperately needed something informal. This was exactly it. Excellent Portuguese food, a few glasses of wine and a beautiful walk through Lisbon as the city was coming alive in the evening. No presentations. No awkward team building games. Just a genuinely enjoyable few hours together. Five stars from our entire team.”
