Five Star Tour - This tour is a wonderful way to experience the special foods of Porto. João is a wonderful tour guide. He took us to places that we never would have found on our own and exposed us to delicious cultural specialties that we would not have known about otherwise. He also shares great historical stories about the city of Porto and Portugal. We truly recommend this experience. Five stars!

Amazing food tour with João - Omg João, our guide was amazing. We were 7 all family and he treated us like his family. He provided us with so much richness and history behind the places and foods we ate. His passion for his job was amazing and it showed. He provided us with a personalized experience enriched with love for the Portuguese culture. He takes you off the beaten path and into the world of Portuguese food. There was something for all. He made sure that any allergies or food issues were taken into consideration. The wines were an amazing variety home grown to Portugal. So much flavour. There were drinks for kids as well. We did a tour in Lisbon a few days later and let me tell you it was disappointing compared to what João offered us. I would go back for his food tour any day. He was so memorable and made the four hours feel like you were in his home enjoying food and drinks with those you love. Thank you João. Best food tour guide ever

Amazing Experience! - We had the most amazing day with João, who introduced us to local restaurants and shared centuries worth of history throughout the day. We were a group of 7 from age 10-55 and it was enjoyable for everyone. We would highly recommend this tour if you want to try local dishes and learn about Porto’s culture and traditions.

A great insiders view of the city - João was a fantastic guide, taking you to the corners of Porto you probably wouldn’t find as a tourist, as well as ordering the local cuisine to try, with a really good explanation on the background of it all. A great experience, would definitely recommend.

Absolutely Fantastic food experience with Joao. - Our host, Joao was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I cannot say enough about him. He took us to traditional places and gave us a wide variety of Portuguese food. Soup, amazing, green wine-delicious, bafana-the best, sardines-very good (I even bought three cans to bring home)... and a couple of very "traditional" Portuguese dishes that I could not get enough off. Did I say wine a second time? Oh and a Super Bock!!!! YOU WILL BE SURPRISED!!. thank you my friend Joao HIGHLY RECOMENDED
