Explore Porto your way

A few years ago, we had the honor of creating a Private Custom Tour in Porto for a remarkable traveler, Anthony Bourdain. And we poured our hearts into it.

If you've watched all episodes of Parts Unknown, you know Tony had a unique way of connecting with cities.

• He was known around the world as the adventurer who’d eat anything you put in front of him;

• Always arrived hungry at each destination;

• Stayed off TripAdvisor and Yelp;

• Didn't read any guidebooks;

• He placed his trust in the locals he met on his journeys... and very often ended up sharing a drink (or five) with a few of them.

Back then, our team of travel designers created a special itinerary for him, focusing on topics close to Bourdain's heart and aligning with his interests, schedule and preferences.

We feel lucky that we got to meet Anthony Bourdain once. He was an inspiration. He still is.

Crafting Private Custom Food Tours in Porto remains a joy for us. Each tour is a unique challenge that we embrace with enthusiasm. Traveling to a new city can be one of the most exciting adventures one can have​ - and helping a visitor make that journey more meaningful is our favorite thing.
