This private tour was a great way to get to know some of the culinary delights of Porto. Our guide, Claudia, was knowledgable and able to take us to places that might not be on typical tourist radar to get a true tasting of what Porto has to offer. She is a native speaker of both English and Portuguese, and was able to explain the origins and cultural significance of the foods and drinks we were sampling. The tour does include a sampling of ports and some local beer, if you are interested. Prior to the tour, Claudia reached out to ask a few questions to help plan the outing, including food preferences, allergies, and any physical limitations, as Porto is not a flat city. I made this booking at the last minute, and she responded promptly even into the evening. She also showed us local sights we were passing and was able share some of the day-to-day life in Porto. Overall, It was thoroughly enjoyable to spend the afternoon being guided through the local cuisine with her. After the tour, Claudia provided recommendations for other things to do based on our interests. I understand she is an independent operator, so you can be assured that any recommendations are based on her experience living in Porto vs a company list. I would recommend doing this tour early in your visit to learn about what foods you might want "seconds" of and things you might want to do/see for the rest of your visit.

Claudia was a great tour guide, we went as two couples to Porto in September 2023 and all enjoyed the tour. We were running late due to check-in problems at the hotel but the communication between us and Claudia was great, she waited for us to arrive (thankfully only 10 minutes late) before starting the tour with another couple. There were six stops during the tour with something different to try at each location, Claudia was a brilliant host with lots of local knowledge and information about the food and drink. Definitely worth booking with her. 10 out of 10 from us.

Food tour with a teenager can be a success or a total flop. The food tour with Claudia was a great success. Claudia gave us a profound and interesting view of the food, culture and way of living in Portugal. Claudia is a rare example of how a food tour guide needs to be.
