The tour exceeded our expectations! We loved the variety of food and drinks, trying new things, and the tour guide Jose was excellent - full of knowledge about the city, friendly and chatty. The length of the tour was perfect and the group of 6 was great, not too big or small. Can’t wait to do another secret food tour in a new city!
Thank you for joining us. Every guest experiences the city a little differently, and we're pleased Secret Food Tours could be part of your visit. We hope to see you again!
We had a fantastic time with José. He was so friendly and gave us a deep knowledge of the history along with many amazing food facts and locations. This was our first ‘secret food tour’ and I will definitely book again on our next trip since it is offered all over the world. Highly recommend this tour to get all the local foods covered. We were very full and happy by the end. Our kids, age 9/10, also enjoyed the food and adventure.
Thank you for choosing Secret Food Tours! Your review is appreciated, and we're glad you took the time to share it. We hope to see you again.
Jose was a very professional guide who provided not only interesting information about the food we eat but also the history of Porto. The tour was conducted at a nice pace and we visited some interesting venues which added to our food and drink experience. Ken & Anne Ireland

We really enjoyed our tour. Jose was such a great host - he truly enjoyed sharing his city of Porto with us as well as all the yummy food. He is clearly passionate about history and Porto. Friends of ours recently moved to Porto and they agreed that everywhere Jose took us was the best of everything - in terms of food as well as the experience. We would highly recommend Secret Food Tours and specifically Jose if you can ask for him.

Food tours are a great introduction to the culture of a country you’re visiting and the Porto 8 tastings was no exception! Our guide, Jose was fabulous and was very knowledgeable about the history, society and politics of the area and provided some great insights along with touch of humour. ( he was also very patient with as we were prone to wandering) Tastings included fish, meet, cheese, sweets and drinks. Hint… come hungry!

The Porto eight tastings food tour (by Secret Food Tours) provides a great sampling of Portuguese food specialties … tarts, fish, meat cheese, wine and of course port! Most of our stops were at long established family operations. Our guide, Jose was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history, culture and social aspects of Portugal. He provided good insights into the Porto community along with some humorous antidotes. Hint: come hungry!
