Anna, our tour guide was beyond amazing. Her knowledge and personality was so appreciated. The market tour and tasting had us salivating! We bought cheeses, dried meats, sardines, and fresh breads and pastries. Anna then took us to Maria Odete, a restaurant we had visited the day before with our food walking tour led by Marianna(another amazing tour guide!) We got to see Graca, the sweet and kind hostess, who greeted us with a hug! The food of Porto is amazing. There’s only one thing better and that is the people of Porto! They are incredibly warm and friendly! Obrigada, Porto!

Ana was amazing, we had the best time on this tour! Tried so many amazing things, wine, cheeses, sardines, meats, codfish dishes, and the best nata ever. She answered all of our questions, she was patient, kind and very friendly, and had an amazing list of recommendations for the rest of our stay. Do not go with a full stomach :)) Thank you Ana!!!

Ana was a wonderful tour guide. Her English was impeccable, and she was full of knowledge, and background stories of the many various local specialties we tasted. Don't plan to have a large breakfast before going on this tour, as the amount of exceptional tastings, and lunch will be plenty. In fact, we aren't even planning on having dinner tonight. The Bolhão market has everything, including spices and food ingredients not found in even the largest local supermarkets. Lunch was very tasty, and so was the local version of the pastel de nata we had for dessert. What also impressed us was the fact that we were the only booked couple for today, and the tour provider didn't cancel because of "low turnout".

This is an AMAZING experience. We spent some time in Bolhão Market, exploring, eating and drinking great wine. Then we went to a restaurant and tried 2 dishes of codfish - delicious! We've finished the tour with port wine and nata :) One of the best tours we did in Portugal.

Verity_B

Best tour we’ve ever done! Ana made us feel so comfortable and was so informative. In the markedly we tried amazing green wine, meats, cheeses, sardines and olive oils. We then had more wine and three codfish dishes at a restaurant and a pasta deal nata and port on another local cafe. Everything is included in the tour and it is amazing value for money. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone - best one we did in all three Portuguese cities we stayed in !
