Overview

We were born, raised and always lived in Porto, so we know the city as a local and, since it is a private tour, we will customize it according to your interests.

In this private food/wine tour we will focus on Portuguese gastronomy, but you will learn a lot about our culture, history and traditions, which makes us unique.

You will visit the temporary Bolhão market and several food spots and tascas (traditional stores), while getting in contact with the locals. Meanwhile, discover the stories behind our main dishes: the legend of the "tripeiros", name given to the porto inhabitants; you will learn how "francesinha" is made, that "caloric bomb" that you should not miss and the tasty codfish recipes, so important in our culture.

We will harmonize it with our portuguese wines and explain the diverse grapes and wine regions. And what about our cakes, like pastel de nata or jesuíta,...?

Enjoy more! Experience more!

    Joao was a great tour guide and took us to several beautiful places. A trip to remember! Picked us up from our hotel and took us to several places in Douro valley incl. a gorgeous boat ride and wine tastings

    We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour in Porto with João. He provided insight into the culture and development of the area, along with a wonderful sampling of a variety of food and drinks. He was friendly and knowledgable, and accommodated us with several stops along the tour for us to explore shops and sights we were interested in. I highly recommend Oporto & Douro Moments.

    We had the greatest time touring with Oporto & Douro Moments! My husband and I had traveled to Porto once before but wanted to try something different this time. We booked a walking food and wine tour on a Sunday morning and it was the perfect way to see the city (definitely wear comfy shoes!) and get to learn a little more about the history and the special dishes of Porto! Highly recommend!
