Great and Intimate Time in Porto! - We had a really great time with our sommelier! Catarina was able to accomodate all of our specific dietary and scheduling needs and made us feel so special. We felt that each stop / food in the tour was well selected and the timing is always perfect - we were greeted by multiple business owners and many stories of food and city were told. We greatly appreciate the little surprises from time to time and the conversations exchanged. We felt the tour was both intimate and well-organized. Only regret is that we cannot take more food with our limited stomach and we were left in a semi-hurry due to the flight. Would recommend the experience to everyone.

Best gurmet trip with the best Sommelier in Porto! - First of all a huge thanks to Catarina who did the extra mile and made some changes to her routine given my dietary restrictions. It was a phenomenal Gurnet experience and got to know the city much better, too. The price was very reasonable for the value, the food and the wine it included. Highly recommend her services to anyone! (I wish this system would allow posting pictures, too bad since those would sell this trip better in the future)

Amazing experience! A nice way to learn about portuguese wines and food - It was a great experience to walk around Porto and taste local food with great wine pairings, in the company of Catarina. The spots were we went had all things prepare to recieve us, and weren't the most crowdy ones (mainly local people). Cararina tell you some funny and nice histories regarding wine, food and history of Portugal and Porto.

A genuine Portuguese Experience - As the granddaughter of a Portuguese immagrant, this tour of my ancestoral city was spectacular, despite having visited many times as a child. The array of delicious foods expertly paired with tasty wines, and the walks through traditional cobbled streets were such a treat. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a genuine taste of the Portugese culture.

A Delicious Adventure through Porto - I recently had the delight of joining Catarina's food tour in Porto, which surpassed my expectations in every aspect. The tour was perfectly planned and executed, providing excellent value for money. Throughout, Catarina's passion and expertise were evident as she expertly guided us through a plethora of Portuguese culinary traditions, transforming my previous scepticism of seafood into a newfound eagerness to explore more. The tour also offered a deep dive into Porto's rich culture and traditions, featuring a journey through its historic cobblestone streets and architectural wonders. This not only allowed us to enjoy the local cuisine but also to absorb the city's historical ambiance and unique character. Catarina's choice of locations revealed hidden gems that portrayed the true essence of Porto, making each stop an immersive experience. What set this tour apart, was Catarina herself. Her warmth and enthusiasm were infectious, and she went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and valued. From accommodating dietary restrictions to sharing insider tips, her personalised approach made the experience unforgettable.
