“What’s the #1 thing to do when I set foot in Porto?” This was the question pumping inside your head when you first downloaded this app.

To date, I’ve answered this question tens of thousands of times. And I tend to give the same answer again and again.

“What’s the response”, you ask? Add a FOOD TOUR to your vacation plan. You will enjoy good, quality food and, at the same time, feel like you came to visit a friend that is showing you their favorite spots in town.

Gastronomic tourism is not the food itself, but the whole history around food.

• The farmer who produces it;
• The chef who makes the meal;
• The waiter who takes your order;
• The local family that welcomes you in their small, authentic restaurant or cafe;
• The surrounding atmosphere: the architecture, the culture, the local eating habits, the country’s economy, weather patterns, traditions & popular beliefs, history…

One of my favorite things on a food tour in the endless knowledge of the local guides. They will give you the best tips about:

• Restaurants;
• Other dishes you must taste;
• Where the fish is freshest;
• Where to find the more tender meat;
• The best spots to visit (the ones you can’t find in any guidebook).

Priceless, isn’t it?

So if you want to make the most of your time in town, be sure to add a Porto Food Tour to your vacation plan, ok?

With love,
Porto
