Lara was a lovely tour guide helping us with all of our food and historical questions.
I really enjoyed the food tour and i thought Lara was really professional with the tour and i couldn’t asked for a better experience. Me and my friends are extremely happy.
My parents and I booked on to the Tapas & Vinho Verde tour and were lucky enough to be the only ones booked on so effectively got a private tour. Lara was very friendly and answered all of our questions not only about the food & wine but more general questions around Portugal and daily life. Lara was also kind enough to share her recommendations for elsewhere in Porto and Lisbon through a curated google maps page, which we continued to use throughout the rest of our trip. The tour was a great introduction to Porto and it's wonderful tapas. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! Just make sure you can handle a few glasses of wine as the pours are very generous :)
We had an amazing port wine tour in Porto with our guide, Alex. We visited three different port houses, tasted some delicious ports, and learned a lot along the way. Alex was incredibly enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. We also met some great people during the tour, which made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommended if you're visiting Porto and want an authentic and memorable port wine experience!
We usually arrange a food and wine walking tour on the first day of any holiday to get a flavour of the local cuisine and explore the local environment. The hotel advised us to book with Porto Walkers and I booked in advance of arrival and am so pleased we did! There was a wide range of food and drinks included, local wines, port (of course!), spirit and liquor all accompanying some delicious foods savory, sweet, hot and cold across a range of locations! Lara was a terrific guide and we had a brilliant 4+ hours exploring, eating and drinking our way across the town! Highly recommended and THE best food and wine tour we have experienced! And no tripe! (Just a naughty baker!).. Thx. P&J
Our host Lara was excellent. She was friendly, informative, and knowledgeable about local wine and cuisine. We spent a lovely afternoon touring local Portugese markets and restaurants getting a wide range of tastes. There was more than enough food and wine we finished the tour very satisfied.
Lara and Inês were fantastic guides. We were lucky to have a private tour (which probably led to us having even more food and wine than normally), which made it more than worth it. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get an introduction to Porto food and wine and a great overview of the market.
I did the Tapas and Vinho Verde tour with Lara, this is definitely a must do tour when you are in Porto. We had a great variety of food in different locations and fantastic wines, spirits etc. Lara was a great host and gave us interesting Portuguese culinary info along with historical and modern day stories of life in Porto. I also did the walking tours with Sergio and Pedro and would highly recommend these as well!
Fabulous tour. A lot of history well explained. Lots and lots of food and drink . She set a good pace. we felt spoiled.
Awesome tour with João! Lots of amazing food, drinks and stories about Porto! Highly recommend it
