TukTuk tour with Hugo on Colour Trip - Hugo was a wonderful TukTuk tour guide. We got a great understanding of Lisbon during the four hour tour. His language skills were perfect and he was so personable. We highly recommend him.

Happy to be a tourist given a local experience! - This was an amazing non-touristy experience and exactly what we were looking for. We had dinner cooked by Hugo and paired with wines from the region by Liuba. The food was delicious, the wine just as delicious and the company interesting and fun! We got to experience a local residence at a local dining table with local hosts who were excited and enthusiastic to impart their knowledge and love of local food and wine on to us! Our hosts even went so far as to do all they could to save our plans with them when our plans to dine with our hosts were partially foiled by an impromptu train strike and our hosts successfully did what they could to accommodate our schedule. The other dining guests were fellow Americans and their company was another added bonus!

This evening is worth coming to Venice for - A really fun and interesting evening. Liuba's knowledge of Italian wines was excellent and her presentation of them was amazing and Hugo's Cichetti were delicious. We had a wonderful evening of wine, food and conversation.
