Not only did we get to try authentic Porto local dishes that we wouldn’t normally try João our guide gave us loads of great information about the history and culture of the places we visited. I would highly recommend this if you want an authentic Porto experience.
Thank you, Jeremy!
Helena was our food guide. She took us to five different stops, while walking the city center, in order to try a variety of delicious Portuguese foods and wines. We visited restaurants we might never have found as a tourist, giving us a chance to try authentic cuisine. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words Amanda!
We had an incredible time with João on our walking food tour of Porto. João was an incredibly knowledgeable host and shared a wealth of information about the city. He took us to fantastic restaurants and gave us tons of details about each place. João was extremely personable and was happy to answer any of our questions. He also shared tons of other recommendations with us to check out after the tour. The food, wine, and beer we tried were all wonderful, and I am glad our group had decided to skip breakfast before the tour because we had more than enough food to fill us up! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Porto, and I would also encourage asking for João, if possible!
Thank you so much, Heidi!
Our half-day food tour with João was by far the highlight of our trip to Porto. He did an excellent job weaving Porto history into a well-rounded gastronomical experience. Highly recommend this tour - you don’t want to miss out!
Thank you for your wonderful review!
Joao is a fantastic guide who is a historian and truly knows how to share his passion. Excellent food and perfectly paired drinks. A very beautiful experience, thank you so much.
Thank you, Pierre!
This was a great experience and introduced us to traditional Portuguese foods and beverages. The tour took us to places that were not as touristy. Our group really enjoyed it.
Thank you, William!
A fantastic tour taking you off the tourist route to experience the food and drink of Porto. Our host was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He even sent us details of everything we had experienced and other recommendations I would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much, Steven!
We went on the food tour - paired with drinks - and it was brilliant. Joao was a fantastic guide, lots of background information and stories to go with the delicious food and drink - make sure you go with a good appetite. Can't recommend this tour highly enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
My wife and I have done tours in other countries with various tour guides, and let me just say that João provided the best experience we have had thus far! The food was exceptional, and we got exposed to several traditional dishes that we wouldn’t have ordered otherwise (and would have missed out on)! However, more than the food, the history lesson and stories behind the city/places/food we tried was the REAL experience! João is a local, university trained historian and it definitely shows! We will be enjoying our time in the city much more than we would have without this tour! Would recommend everyone start their journey in Porto with this tour!
Thank you for your wonderful words, Charles!
This tour was excellent! Carlota, our guide, took us to 5 different stops and all had delicious food and drinks. Carlota is a Porto native, so she curated stops where locals go, and knew all the owners and staff. She also shared a lot of Porto’s history, some of which lends itself to the food. We would totally do this tour with Carlota again, and think you should too!
Thank you so much for you kind words. We are happy to know you have a wonderful time!
