    Marco took us all a round the fish market and then to his parents beautiful back yard to prepare our fantastic seafood stew. We ate seven different types of locally caught delicacies along with locally grown produce from Marco’s farm. The food, conversation, and wine were all a delight! Thank you Marco and family!

    It was a lovely way to spend a day learning about the foods that Portugal has to offer. Going to the fish market to buy your fresh seafood, seeing the coastal shores, stopping at an amazing vegetable and fruit organic store was so interesting to do. Then, having all of this prepared by your own chef was perfect. We ate delicious seafood, drank yummy wines, and learned how to prepare Portuguese foods right before our eyes. This was a wonderful and relaxing experience that we were so glad to have done.

    It was an amazing experience! Very comfortable, personal and loving. We made great food together, absolutely delicious and got to know a lot about Porto's fisherman history and local produce. It was an experience I highly recommend! You feel very connected and the host are very passionate, they even have their own eco farm!! :)

    One of the best experiences in Portugal. Excellent products. Fabulous wines. We buy directly from fishermen. We visited markets full of color and perfumes. Authentic and familiar. I recommend it to everyone who wants to discover the essence of Portugal. A very very special experience
