Thank you Jose for a fabulous food tour in Porto!! We thoroughly enjoyed it and you were a fantastic tour guide☺️
Your feedback is greatly appreciated! We're pleased that the tour offered an enjoyable way to explore the city and its food scene. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours.
We really enjoyed our tour. Jose was such a great host - he truly enjoyed sharing his city of Porto with us as well as all the yummy food. He is clearly passionate about history and Porto. Friends of ours recently moved to Porto and they agreed that everywhere Jose took us was the best of everything - in terms of food as well as the experience. We would highly recommend Secret Food Tours and specifically Jose if you can ask for him.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're happy to know that you enjoyed discovering local favorites and learning more about the area during the tour. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
The guide, Nuno was excellent. Very knowledgeable in all aspects.

Food tours are a great introduction to the culture of a country you’re visiting and the Porto 8 tastings was no exception! Our guide, Jose was fabulous and was very knowledgeable about the history, society and politics of the area and provided some great insights along with touch of humour. ( he was also very patient with as we were prone to wandering) Tastings included fish, meet, cheese, sweets and drinks. Hint… come hungry!
We appreciate you taking the time to write this. Hearing that the tour became more than just another activity during your time in the city is exactly the type of feedback we value. Thank you for choosing Secret Food Tours!
The Porto eight tastings food tour (by Secret Food Tours) provides a great sampling of Portuguese food specialties … tarts, fish, meat cheese, wine and of course port! Most of our stops were at long established family operations. Our guide, Jose was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history, culture and social aspects of Portugal. He provided good insights into the Porto community along with some humorous antidotes. Hint: come hungry!
We sincerely appreciate you sharing this. Knowing the tour gave you an enjoyable way to spend part of your time in the city means a great deal to everyone involved. Thank you again from Secret Food Tours!
Secret Food tours never disappoint. Maryia was a well informed about the history, architecture and food of Porto. Each of our stops was excellent and the food delicious. Maryia was an enthusiastic and wonderful guide and host.
Thanks for writing this! We’re really glad the experience gave you memories you’ll continue thinking about after the day ended. We’d love to welcome you back with Secret Food Tours.
Excellent tastings in less -known places. Our guide Nonu was a wealth of knowledge and walked at a comfortable place. He shared with us a map and list of his favorite places
Thanks for writing this and for being part of the tour. It’s great to hear the experience came together in a way that felt meaningful. We’d love to host you again on another Secret Food Tours!
I had my food tour with Nuno and was the only person that day. He was friendly and personable that I did not feel too shy. All the tastings were a great introduction to Porto (and Portugal). Nuno was knowledgable on his city + food and even provided a Google Maps link with a ton of recommendations (which was greatly appreciated and I already it shared with a friend.) The tour was well paced and I would have never noticed some of the places we stopped at on my own. I book with Secret food Tours any time I’m visiting a new city and I have never had a bad experience. I always recommend them.
It’s great you joined us and took the time to write this. Our guide and the stops are truly meant to complement each other. We hope you can join us again on another Secret Food Tours!
Fantastic food tour with Nuno! A brilliant blend of local history and food knowledge. We really enjoyed the food and drink, tastings and experience, would highly recommend. He was also able to offer some great recommendations of places to visit after our tour! Thank you Nuno!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour with Nuno, the tastings, and his local recommendations. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments—he’ll be delighted!
Our guide, Nuno, was excellent and really helped to create a unique experience walking the city of Porto and tasting the local cuisines and understanding history! The tour is the perfectly length and is a bargain for all the items you get to try. Recommend doing the tour early in your visit to the city so that you get the feel and can revisit some favorites if you like!
Thank you for writing about your tour! Hearing that everything came together naturally is encouraging for us. We’d happily host you again on another Secret Food Tours.
