SCAM - Edit
The company took my money, then sent an email saying the tour was cancelled and that I'd be refunded. They never refunded the money. SCAM.

Warning: this company is not contactable, not honouring tours - Edit
Look at Google reviews - it may have been a legitimate business previously, but recently this company is taking money and not responding to emails or website messages. Their phone is disconnected. I wish I'd seen the reviews before they got my money too. Leaving this review to protect others. Their site says they operate in multiple cities in Europe. I personally was scammed with purchasing a Madrid tour that they didn't honour.

Its worth it - Edit
We were guided to great vegan places and had very good food.
Read moreOf course, the whole thing only makes sense if you want to be shown around by a guide and have a chat. This gives you exciting insights into the local vegan movement and tips on local culinary specialties.
If you just want to eat, you can plan your own tour.
For around €60 you get a fair amount of food. You will definitely be full afterwards!

Vegan Food Tours Lisbon - Edit
I was really excited to take this tour given all the positive reviews and given my experience attending a food tour in another city (by a different company in Paris), but my experience was much different than what everyone else described in their reviews.
Read moreThe positive is my partner and I did eat some good food and our guide was friendly, but the tour could have been so much better. (Note: Our guide is not named in any of the reviews below.)
(1) There were issues with her instructions on the meeting spot. We were asked to be 15 minutes early and her meeting spot was not the same as she described in her text. The other couple did not fare as well and were in the wrong spot. The tour guide didn't bring the correct contact info for the other couple, so we had to wait 45 minutes as she sorted this out with her manager, which left us very close to canceling our reservation.
(2) The tour guide brought us to the "most reviewed" places on HC, which I would have done on my own anyway. It would have been nice to throw in a locals favorite that wasn't run of them mill.
(3) The most frustrating thing for me is the tour guide would not make any recommendations at the restaurants (we asked her for them). This left all of us looking at reviews on HC and Google in order to pick things because she put the onus on us (the people paying for her recommendations) to pick things from the menu. With (2) and (3) combined together, I struggle to see the benefit of paying 60 EUR each to take this tour when we could/would have done this ourselves. Going forward, I suggest the tour guide pre-plan food orders and ask if anyone would like to add anything (or subtract). This takes the stress out of attendees picking menu items / wondering if they picked something the other attendees will also like. This was just a very awkward experience.
(4) The tour took five hours (including that 45 minute wait time), which left my partner a bit upset with me since I talked him in to taking this tour. The tour is advertised for three hours. Keeping to the meeting time, pre-planning food orders, and focusing on time management during restaurant visits could improve this.
OVERALL: I want to support businesses like this, but if this is how they always run their tour, I cannot recommend anyone spend their hard earned 60 EUR on it based on my experience. It seems other people had better experiences with the tour guides named, so if you decide to take the tour, see if you can get one of them.

Cons: Felt very disorganized., Took way too long., Did not feel like a "locals guide" experience.

Just amazing! - Edit
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience with Mariana, our local guide. She knew a lot about the city and the food of course, and showed us places we would have never happen to get into if it wasn't for the tour probably. We visited four restaurants and the amount of food was more than enough. So, in the end I can say without any doubt that is it worth all the money! Lot of love guys

Great for new vegans - Edit
I really liked the tour, it was more or less 3 hours, we visited 4 spots and really liked them all. I was with a friend who is not vegan, he is trying to go vegetarian though and I think this experience helped a lot, not just because the food was delicious, but also because we talked about the vegan choice and lifestyle a lot with the guide (vegan of course) and the other people in the group. It was super nice to share all our stories, and it is so much easier when everybody is on the veg-side. I recommend this to everybody, especially to tourist willing to receive some tips from a local.

Delicious and traditional - Edit
We made a deal with my partner. We eat traditional food one day, and vegan food the other. With this tour, we did both. If you travel with someone obsessed with trying the local cuisine of every place they travel to, get them on this tour and let them enjoy a vegan way of doing so.

Highly Recommended - Edit
It rained on our tour. I was ready to not go, because the weather was really awful, but my friends convinced me to still go. Huge shoutout to Mariana, the guide, for being super friendly and amazing. I was only there 2 days and this was the main thing I was going to do. She saved my trip! They left me with a happy heart and a very full stomach.

Great Tour! - Edit
Thankful to have picked this on my first day. The nice guide told us where to go both to visit and to eat, so she made it super easy to plan the next days in the city. It was just a conversation about the town and its culture, focus on food of course, and things to do around town. Make sure to take it on your first day!

Lisbon - Edit
This was the best among the food tours I had during my trip in Europe and I am not even vegan, it was a present for my daughter who is. I loved it all, the food, the guide, the neighborhood. Great experience, good job!

wonderful experience! - Edit
Just went on a tour today with Mariana and it was so great! We went to 4 different restaurants around Lisbon, and it lasted almost 4 hours. The food was a nice variety with an emphasis on traditional Portuguese cuisine. The portions were so generous, as well as drinks included at all the locations. (I was so stuffed I didn’t eat anything the rest of the day). I also liked hearing about different neighborhoods and history of Lisbon. Mariana was super helpful with recommendations of places to go during my stay- places in Sintra, Belem tower, museums, and a cool botanical garden. Anyways, I highly recommend the tour whether you’re vegan or just veg curious!

Worth it! - Edit
Our guide Mariana was super nice and friendly and it was a pleasurable time my sister and I could spend with her and the team!
Read moreWe got showed four different food locations in which the food was included in the price of the tour.
We got to taste the finest and most original Portuguese food in vegan form, and were more than full and satisfied afterwards!!!
Also just the vegan company itself with Mariana (and in our case her friend and a photographer) was totally worth doing the tour! It was so nice to got to know and to chat with them :)
Pros: Original Portuguese food, Big amounts , Friendly guide
