A great experience to finish the day. Silvia was truly a great guide and awesome company. We were lucky to be in a small and very talkative group who just enjoy the experience. The reason for 4 is that the food selection was a bit on the heavy side.. they are not kidding when they suggest to skip lunch.

Tasty overview of some of Porto's "tapas"

An overview of some of Porto's "tapas" equal weight food and drink. One caution the tour places a very heavy emphasis on meat based foods so vegetarians will find themselves hungry if a little tipsy. The combination of new food experiences and new found friends makes for a very pleasant evening.

Perfect for trying local food.

This tour is perfect when spending a short time in Porto. Our guide Diago was well informed and spoke excellent English ( except for Cod Fish ) filled us in on other information about Porto and the Portuguese. We ate food that we might not have tried, as tourists ( who love food, it was good to have some local insight as to what the locals really like to eat.
