Ricardo was phenomenal! His knowledge of Portugal, especially it’s history was mind blowing! Our little group of 10 was also very pleasant: some from the US, one couple from Luxembourg, and one from Wales. The food, coupled with the wine was delicious. It may have been better to have something in one’s stomach though as our first stop and tasting was a cherry liquor; a whopping 23% alcohol content!!! The walk around Lisbon especially at night up and down smaller alley ways was charming and safe. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour and definitely Riccardo as one’s host! Simply amazing...
We had a wonderful and fun time during this tour and Herder was an excellent guide. It was a great way to see the out-of-the way places that tourists don’t usually go

Then, savor bacalhau dried and salted cod, a traditional Portuguese dish and tremoços pickled Lupini beans.
