One of the best parts of travelling is discovering the places you never would have found on your own. A tiny family-run tavern tucked away on a quiet street. A bakery that’s been making the same recipe for generations. A glass of Port shared with people who were complete strangers just a few hours earlier.
But are food tours really worth it? We could tell you why we believe they are, but we’d rather let our guests do the talking. Here are a few moments, memories and comments shared after spending a day exploring Porto with us.
What Our Porto Guests Had to Say
- “Arrived in Porto thinking I wouldn’t like sardines. Joined the Vintage & Port Wine Food Tour, tried sardines. Left Porto loving sardines.”
- “There was food. There was wine. But most of all, there were people. By the end, I had forgotten that I was on a tour. It was just a couple of friends parting after a wonderful four hours together.”
- “Great host, very knoldgeable and a lovley person! I had so much funa nd rlaly recomend it!” (one of the Taste Porto Food Tours reviews written at the end of our Craft Beer & Food Tour… if you know what we mean!)
- “I was worried that it would be strange taking the 10 am tour (drinking that early), but the stops were spread out and I was glad I was stuffed at 2:30 instead of just before bed.”
- “There’s so much food in Porto! And it turns out that some of the best of it is hidden in tiny establishments down narrow streets on steep hills.”

- “We ate and drank so much that we didn’t need lunch and hardly any dinner!”
- “A great way to become familiar with the Porto food and wine scene. There was some very good food, wine/port sampled and the portions were generous. The highlight for me was discussing Anthony Bourdain with the company’s founder (who appeared on Anthony Bourdain’s Porto episode).”
- “After the tour was over, we were given a list of other places to eat and drink in the city. We headed over to a cheese and wine bar recommended by our Taste Porto tour guide and, as soon as we mentioned his name, the red carpet was rolled out for us and we continued our journey of amazing food.”
- “Part of the ticket costs goes to the homeless people of Porto for food and shelter. We love working with companies that ‘give back’.”
- “We learned a lot and by the end of the tour 8 strangers from around the world had become friends!“
