My husband and I had a wonderful experience as Diogo Ribas took us around town so we could enjoy authentic Portuguese food in downtown Porto. He introduced each location and gave detailed descriptions of the food we were served as we went from one location to another, and to another. Total of 4. Absolute pleasure. Thank you!
