We absolutely loved this food tour and highly recommend anyone visiting Porto for the first time! Flavie Paula was our walking tour guide, and she made the experience so memorable for us. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, giving us all the history of Porto and answering all of our questions, even if they were unrelated to the tour. We went to four different locations and tried one specialty from each, including the DELICIOUS bifana sandwich at our first stop! We seriously loved it and tried looking for them in other places for the rest of our trip. We walked through the beautiful streets of Porto to an amazing market square, a Harry-Potter-famous cafe with phenomenal pastries, a port wine shop, and a meat & cheese wine shop. Even though we walked through cold wind and rain, Flavie made it such an unforgettable experience and we cannot thank her enough for her kindness, hospitality, and knowledge that really set us up for the rest of our stay. If you're considering doing one of these food tours, absolutely do so!! You will not regret it!
