Thank you Igor! - This tour was amazing! We got so lucky with our tour guide, Igor. He was very knowledgeable despite being new in the position, and was kind enough to email the entire group further recommendations for the rest of our time in Porto. I highly advise doing this tour at the beginning of your stay to get his recommendations as well as the lay of the land!

Great tour - Fantastic tour, would highly recommend. Our tour guide Jil/Gil was awesome. Really friendly and knowledgeable. All the places we went to weren’t anywhere you would typically go in to. All the food/wine/ beer was great. Definitely worth the money!

Great food and wine tour - Ana was a great tour guide. We tried food from vendors we wouldn’t have walked up to otherwise. It felt very authentic to Portugal. We were also lucky to only be a group of 4 - felt like walking with friends. She also gave a great list of recommendations at the end. Extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks Ana!

Great food and knowledgeable tour guides - Amazing food and even walked us to some of the must sees in Porto. If you go in the morning don’t have breakfast so you can enjoy a lot of good food and drinks. Cristina our tour guide was authentic and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

Not really worth the price - The tour guide was very nice, but this just wasn't worth the cost. For the price you could have a couple really nice meals instead of a few snacks and small amounts of drink.
