PRIVATE Portuguese Home Cooking Class in Porto with Chef Maria

Best night with our new favorite chef!

Maria was an incredible host and great teacher. She was so prepared and organized. Her years of being a professional chef in many settings was evident. The food was incredible, the conversation lovely, and the fact that we had an authentic Portuguese experience in her home, was invaluable. This is truly a highlight of our month long vacation. We only wish we could have spent more time with Maria. Obrigada Maria!

Port : Private Boat Tour for Two 2h Tasting Included

Relax in style and comfort on the Douro

This was a highlight of our stay in Porto. We paid to hire the boat for a two hour trip up and down the Douro, seeing all seven bridges and a lovely view of Porto from the river. Our hosts, Paulo and Sara, were fantastic and gave us an interesting commentary on the history as we sailed past, as well as recommendations on where the locals eat. Champagne, cold meats, cheeses and cakes were provided which were delicious and well above expectations. All in all this was a relaxing and truly satisfying way to see Porto and I highly recommended Paulo and Sara from Nuagit.

THE PORTO ESSENTIALS - Wine & Food Tour ( Private )

A Food & Wine Tour That Felt Like Going Out With a Local Friend

We had such a wonderful Food & Wine Tour with Pedro in Porto! He took us to beautiful local places (the kind of spots we would never have discovered on our own). Some were small, hidden corners, the kind of places where locals go and others were lovely private stops he had arranged for us with great views and tasting beautiful wines from small producers.(I’m a sommelier and really appreciated that!) What really stood out to us was Pedro’s passion. He didn’t just share information; he truly wanted us to understand the stories behind the food, the wine, the people and the city. I personally share wine experiences on Instagram, so I kept asking him lots of detailed questions and he answered everything with patience, enthusiasm, and genuine knowledge. Another thing we loved was seeing the personal relationships he has with the people we met along the way. You could feel that they know each other, respect each other and genuinely like each other. It didn’t feel like a standard commercial tour at all. Pedro was never watching the clock. We laughed, we learned, we tasted and we heard so many great stories. At one point, when he was explaining the story behind the sausage made with poultry, he almost turned it into a little theater performance! It was so fun and memorable 😊. Although it was a food and wine tour, we also asked him to pass by some important cultural spots and he was very flexible. So our walk also had a beautiful cultural side and once again he showed how much he knows about Porto, its history and its people. We absolutely recommend this experience. It felt like going out with a good friend who lives in Porto. Like someone who welcomes you, takes you to his favorite places, shares stories, answers all your questions and simply makes sure you have a great time.
