A wonderful food tour with an incredibly informative guide - Harold was an exceptional tour guide. His extensive knowledge of the local cuisine and Porto's rich history truly enhanced my experience. The tour was excellently organized, allowing us to explore many beautiful and historic areas of the city whilst enjoying the food. The food and wine were absolutely delicious. A highlight for me was the red wine paired with cheese and ham at the century-old cheese shop.

Kind and accomodating company, best food tour! - I just wanted to write a really positive review not only to the food tour and my guide Emilia (who was awesome) but also to the organising company/staff. I received such excellent communication on the day via WhatsApp and due to adverse circumstances couldn’t make my original date. It was no trouble for anyone to change the dates to accomodate for me, with various members of the staff messaging to check I was okay. I am really thankful I booked with such a great business - thanks for everything I highly recommend and had the best time :)

Food was good but the guide was disappointing - The food was delicious but we expected more explanation from the guide Emilia about the city and history. Also she didn't join with the food tasting tour which already created a kind of distance between her and the group.
