Had a great time. Very professional and exceeded our expectations. Great experience. Highly recommended. Cheers

Our guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. He told us the history of food in Porto. The cooking experience was also very good but he did not return us to our original meeting place. Instead, we had to take a metro near the market. We could have gotten lost. I do not recommend this to tourists that may get lost easily in a busy city

We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour. First we met Nonu at the market for a tour and a wonderful explanation of the history and different characteristics of Portuguese food and culture. We then went to the cooking class portion where to learned to make some delicious dishes with Joseph and Nonu. It was entertaining, well taught and a lot of FUN!! We learned how to make Pastels de Nata!! Would suggest that anyone visiting Porto do this class!!

Excellent tour of Mercado and explanation of how the locals shop and prep food. Great cooking class. Excellent food. Learned so much of the culture and history of Porto. Guides were Nuno and Joseph, both very excellent!

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip to Porto! Meeting up in the beautiful market, taking the train across the bridge and then arriving in the stunning professional kitchen was just the start. The class was fun, hands on but not intimidating at all. With Nuno and Ze as our chefs/ hosts, everything was explained so well and answered all of our questions. We met wonderful people, ate local cuisine and wine. It was such a great experience for my husband and I on our last day in Porto.

Great time! Learned so much and had a blast doing it. My parents did the tour a couple months before me and loved it. I did as well. Would recommend to all my friends and family.

Deborah_S

Loved learning about the Porto fresh foods market. The cooking class was fantastic! We made traditional Portuguese dishes. The kitchen set up was perfect for our group of 7. Highly recommend.

Susan W

Our guide Nunno & the chef were outstanding! Both of them were very engaging & they also had a great sense of humor. In addition they were very attentive & made our experience one to always remember!

Great tour and class by fun and knowledgeable guides. A great changeup from the usual walk and eat type of food tours. The market they took us to is the biggest one in Porto and the produce and products there are high quality, which makes for a fun tour (I wish we could sample more of the food we saw, but understand that would interfere with lunch which is what we cooked in class). Highly recommend for a fun and useful experience!
