Highlights
  • Rua Santa Catarina - First Stop) Pastel de Nata: a beloved Portuguese pastry, is a delectable and iconic treat that tantalizes taste buds with its rich, creamy custard filling nestled within layers of flaky, golden-brown puff pastry. This delightful pastry is perfectly balanced, offering a sweet and slightly caramelized flavor, often accentuated with a dusting of cinnamon or powdered sugar on top.

Coffee: paired with the most typical of Portuguese sweets, a coffee just goes with it! A lovely and energetic start for our tour!

  • Mercado do Bolhao - Second Stop) Board of local Cheeses: Porto, known for its rich culinary heritage, boasts a variety of distinctive cheeses that capture the essence of the region.

Wine: Paired with the local board we’ll also drink a glass of local wine!

  • Avenida Dos Aliados - Third Stop) Bifana: a savory delight from Portuguese cuisine, is a flavorful sandwich featuring thinly sliced marinated pork nestled within a soft or crusty bread roll. The pork is typically seasoned with garlic, paprika, and other spices, then slow-cooked to perfection.

Beer: in addition to the local food, we’ll drink a refreshing beer which pairs beautifully with the slightly spicy taste of the bifana.

  • Praca Gomes Teixeira - Forth Stop) Petiscos: a delightful aspect of Portuguese culinary culture, refer to a variety of small, flavorful dishes akin to tapas in Spain. These bite-sized treats are designed for sharing, encouraging a communal and social dining experience. From marinated olives and cheese platters to grilled chorizo and seafood skewers, petiscos showcase the diverse and rich flavors of Portuguese cuisine.

Pataniscas: a beloved Portuguese dish, are delicious, deep-fried fritters made from a batter of salted codfish, flour, eggs, and aromatic herbs. These golden-brown delights boast a crispy exterior that gives way to a tender and flavorful core.

Wine: a glass of wine is included in the tasca as well!

  • Lisbon Square - Fifth Stop) Port Wine is named after the city of Oporto, the second largest city in Portugal and a major port that historically exported Portuguese wines. Port wine is fortified with grape spirits and tastes complex and sweet. In alternative to the drink alone you may also the cocktail try white port mixed with tonic. But you can actually use any style of port, including a Red or Young Tawny Port to make a Port and Tonic.

Great experience in Porto - Cintia was our host and she was great, really fun and knowledgeable about the area and culture of Porto. Would highly recommend anyone visiting Porto to book this. It showed us some great places we probably wouldn't have discovered otherwise and overall just a really enjoyable experience with great food and drink.

Excellent introduction to Porto - We did this tour the day after we arrived in Porto and it was fantastic. It helped us get to know the city better and gave us a brilliant introduction into local food and drink. Andreia is a wonderul guide - you can tell she loves what she does and cares about her city and the local businesses. The itinerary was perfect - everything we tried was delicious. She also sent us some foodie recommendations after the tour and we went to two of her recommended restaurants and returned to three of the places she had taken us to on the tour. We didn't have a single bad experience and had so much delicious food. If you like food and want to get to know Porto and learn about the culture, I would highly recommend this tour.
