Authentic Cultural Experience - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We especially loved our tour guide Ana, she was so personable, knowledgeable and friendly. She explained the food and wine culturally making it an authentic experience. The foods are we ate were true to the culture and we tried several wines. We would highly recommend Ana as your guide to make it a truly special experience.

Amazing way to experience Porto! - Highly recommend! The tour was a great way to get familiar with Porto and sample some delicious food and drinks that we would not have been able to find ourselves. Ana and Ramon, our guides, were very knowledgeable and fun.

Highly recommended - A lovely afternoon out. Our tour guide Lia was extremely helpful and informative. A perfect opportunity to see the parts of Porto that I wouldn't necessarily have seen. Food and drink were plentiful and it was lovely to have a small group of only 7 people. Would highly recommend.

Ask for Joel for very informative food and wine or history tour in Spanish or English - Our food and wine tour with Joel turned into a tremendous history lesson of Porto with food stops in restaurants you have to be a native of Porto to know about. As well as wine tasting in the back of tiny bodegas that you would likely walk by. Joel’s knowledge of architecture and time periods of city construction makes him a great choice for a tour guide.

Food and fun with Flavie! - Flavie was an incredible guide! She was insightful, fun and kept a balanced pace. She had answers for all of our many questions and provided such colorful context to the history and culture! Not only did we leave learning about Portugal but also finding new passions in food and wine. We used this as our kick-off to Porto and left with even more recommendations. You will have the best time and we can’t recommend this tour with Flavie more!!
