  This was probably one of the best experiences I have had traveling solo. I signed up for this my first night in Lisbon and it was a great start... read more to my trip, as it gave me the chance to meet a few other travelers in the area, which ultimately resulted in me having friends for the rest of my trip and going forward. The food that was provided was delicious and you could tell how much time, effort, and passion was put into each dish as it was presented to the table. Many travel experiences can feel half hearted and just a space filler, but this experience was truly special to me. It has inspired me to find similar experiences to this in other countries, and to schedule my trips around doing something similar to this on future trips.
Can not recommend doing this your first night here more. Worth every penny, just book it now.
