You’re coming to Porto for a few days and want to make the most of it... But it’s not always easy. There are countless tours, mixed reviews, and limited time. You don’t want to rush from place to place, fall into tourist traps, or leave feeling like you only scratched the surface. You’re looking for something real — food, stories, people — but without the stress of planning it all yourself.

That’s exactly how many of our guests feel before they arrive. They want to understand Porto, not just see it. They want meals that mean something, guides who live here, and experiences that connect naturally (not a checklist of disconnected activities).

We get it. You want your days to flow with time to taste, walk, talk, and enjoy Porto at an unhurried pace. So do we!

Discover our Taste Porto Vacation Packages

Our multi-day packages bring together thoughtfully designed food and cultural experiences, spread over 2, 3, or 4 days in Porto. Instead of booking separate activities and hoping they fit together, our packages offer a slower, more meaningful way to experience the city, where each day builds naturally on the last.

What’s included in our Taste Porto Vacation Package

• The Food, Wine & Culture Escape (2 Days) is perfect for a short stay with depth. It begins with our Arts & Culture Tour (what we call the Porto Beginners’ Guide Tour, and what guests often describe as their “aha!” moment in the city). You’ll then step into Porto’s culinary past on our Vintage Food & Wine Tour, walking down the city’s memory lane through traditional dishes and classic wines (including a Port Wine masterclass). From €224 per person.

• The Taste Porto Signature Experience (3 Days) brings together three defining sides of Porto. You’ll explore local flavors on the Downtown & Bolhão Market Food Tour, the longest-running food tour in Porto. From there, you’ll continue down memory lane on our Vintage Food & Wine Tour, before discovering Porto’s modern edge on our Craft Beer & Food Tour (proof that Porto is about much more than port wine). From €233 per person.

• The Immersive Porto Food & Cooking Package (4 Days) is our most complete experience. It starts with the Arts & Culture Tour, your “aha!” introduction to Porto, followed by both our Vintage Food & Wine Tour and Downtown & Bolhão Market Food Tour, building a full picture of the city’s food culture. The journey ends in the kitchen with a hands-on cooking class — cook like a local, eat like family — where everything comes together around the table. From €467 per person. Less than €156 per day.

Worried about dietary restrictions?

We know that Traditional Portuguese gastronomy can be a little difficult to navigate when it comes to the so-called special dietary requirements. With that in mind, we've designed this multi-day package in a way that allows us to accommodate most requirements so that a larger amount of travelers can participate and enjoy. We've worked diligently with our partners on this mission to bring Portuguese gastronomy into the XXI century, and we continue to search together for alternatives that are enticing, adequate, delicious, and still reflective of the local traditions.
