A good time in Porto - Roderick our guide was excellent made my birthday special and everyone of our friends and family thought this was the best day in Porto

Gorgeous Landscape Views of Douro - The Duoro river trip was great. Our tour guide Peidro was informative in telling stories about Duoro. The wineries were interesting and tasty. Loved the lunch stop as well.

Walking It Off In Porto - Maria was an excellent guide, making this a great way to get to know Porto and learn about its rich history. As much as I enjoyed the food and drink aspect, I really enjoyed walking around Porto and taking in the sights. Signing up for city tours such as these can often be hit or miss; groups can be large making one-on-one time with guides to ask questions difficult. Luckily, we were the only two in the group, making it a private tour! We learned the origin of the famed Francesinha; schooled on bacalhau; introduced to chouriço, which is finished at your table in custom-made clay pots; ate like locals at Pedro dos Frangos; and of course, indulged in chocolate eclairs for dessert! At the end of the day, we ate, we imbibed and were able to get in some exercise!

Extraordinary food your - We had a preconceived idea of what a food tour would be like though we had never taken one. It was recommended that we do so by friends. We thought we would stop at a food market and sample a few things, and after a couple of hours we would be done. Maria met us at the arranged spot. She was prompt and friendly and introduced herself, then we began our adventure! Five hours later we had eaten Francesinho in an elegant restaurant for lunch, sardines and cod at another spot for snacks, downed a wonderful chicken dish of Peri, Peri chicken with a third proprietor, learned about the cooking of traditional Portuguese sausage, then finished with coffee and sweets. A complementary glass of wine was provided at each site. Maria inquired about any allergies and was able to modify dishes to satisfy those needs. Five hours later we had learned so much about Portuguese food, culture, history and people, and had toured much of the city. She could provide answers to any questions we asked and offered so much knowledge and understanding of her country as well as ours. We had a phenomenal experience, and would recommend Maria and thecooltours.com to anyone and everyone who visits Porto!

A thorough and tasty tour of old Porto! - A delicious and informative tour of Porto! Our guide Maria was fantastic. We learned loads about the city and its history. Maria was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. We loved experiencing the city from recent to medieval history.of The tour is on foot and mostly downhill. We had plenty of chances to sit down and cool off at the various stops. And plenty of libations alongside the food we experienced.

A must do experience in Porto - We had a wonderful time on this tour with Rodrigo. Our tour was only 4 people which made it so enjoyable, we got to know each other and enjoy all the different stops. This is the first time I’ve done a food tour but such a good way to learn more about the city through food. Rodrigo was an excellent tour guide, easy to chat to, and extremely knowledgeable. There are 5 stops on the tour, all of which were excellent. As others have said, arrive hungry, and don’t make big plans for dinner. I can’t recommend this enough

Enthusiastic guide, great foods & interesting tidbits about Porto! - We spent a day with our tour guide Bruno and another couple exploring Porto’s marketplace and a variety of eateries. Bruno was a great guide. He explained many traditions, as well as introducing us to the unique flavors of Porto foods. His English was impeccable and enthusiasm for working with us and showing us historical areas with tidbits of knowledge made our an experience memorable. You can’t go wrong with this tour.

Well above expectations!! - We took the Food and Wine Tour and enjoyed it very much. Maria was our guide and she could not have been more knowledgeable. Her English is perfect, having spent time in Great Britain. She tailored the tour to our interests and appetites. The food and drink were delicious and ample. The vendors were all the creme de la creme. The biggest surprise was how much history we learned. Maria is very knowledgeable and wove so much into our walk through the city. We highly recommend the tour and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Last minute change in time without notification caused us to miss the tour!!! - I had booked this tour several months in advance because it was my sister's birthday and we had one day in Porto we were on a cruise ship. I got all of my confirmations, the day before the tour, of the time the tour started. We got there early, and no one was there then I got a notification that we were not there 45 minutes before the tour started so they left without us. They also said they called me to notify me of the change in time, I had no missed calls. They did give me a list of the restaurants that they went to and what they had so we did try to do the tour, but it was stressful and such a disappointment, I wanted things to be perfect for my sister. They also did refund me but you can't get that experience back. If you are going to change the tour time the day before you need to make sure people get it and if you are on a cruise ship you may not be able to accommodate a change. This was not a last minute booking for us and you should not change times a day before.
