Highly recommend! - We had a wonderful time on this tour with Antonio. The local Portugal food and wine were so good and paired very well. Antonio could not have been a better tour guide. He was fun and kept it light, even when we ran into some small issues like one of the restaurants being closed that we were supposed to go to. We just went somewhere else. :-)

Fantastic food tour - João was an amazing guide! He was so knowledgeable, friendly, interesting and fun! It was a fantastic day tasting all the local food and drink. There was a very big variety and we left with full bellies and a better appreciation of Porto’s history and culture. We were also lucky that the other couple on the tour were so nice. It was a great time. I would highly recommend!

Great afternoon of discovery - This was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. Luigi was wonderful. Such a great energy and he had lots of insights into the city. The food and wine was great. The city was busy with a lot of tourists but this small group along with Luigi felt like we were walking around with a good friend. I highly recommend this type of tour over the big ones. I wish Luigi lots of good fortune as a tour guide. Thank you

Porto gastronomy. - Joo was a great guide and kept us entertained with his knowledge of Portugal and the historical significance of Porto. The food and drinks were very good and were made better with Joo’s explanation of each dish and his personal experience growing up on a wine estate owned by his grandparents/family.

Great food tour! - Despite a little drizzle of rain this tour was so much fun, and informative. Carlota was lovely and professional and presented information about the foods and general history. Each stop offered a large sampling of foods preselected by Carlotta.
Go hungry! Great tour!

Great way to eat drink and see all at once. Very generous tour! - A wonderful group of people from Newyork, Paris and the uk. Luigi was an extremely knowledgeable and articulate guide with a great sense of humour. We ate and drank alot whilst walking from interest point to interest point. The food was amazing just remember not to book a meal the same night. Plenty of fish and pork, you can get alternatives if you have allergies or religious beliefs. We had a fabulous few hours which flew by. I just needed a lie down afterwards. Thankyou Luigi.
