10 stops was an ambitious expedition and we went over our allotted time. But Miguel was unfazed and completed the mission! He clearly knows his stuff and has exceptional relationships with local eateries and specialty vendors. He warned us of certain “tourist trap” places and steered us to the authentic local places. We enjoyed our experience greatly and heartily recommend Miguel to anyone interested in local history and real food in Porto!Awesome

We loved our tour with Mayumi. Not only was she passionate and knowledgeable about food and wine, but also history.
She was so easy to chat with. We really enjoyed our tour and all the foods she picked for us to try. She was very good at asking what we’ve already tried, what we didn’t like and making sure we had new experiences. Best food tour!

There were 6 family members who took this tour from a cruise ship stop. Miguel is a free-spirit, loves his country and culture and we very much enjoyed connecting with him. There was a LOT of different types of food and drink on this tour and loved all the stops - into a small shop with liquor, herbs and cheese where we did a port tasting with cheese, dried figs, quince and apple jam, a chocolate shop and the local fresh air market where we had several tastings of local cheese, fruit, and seafood. We can’t forget the stop for pasteles de nata, and then a local bar for a view of the bridge and then a local beer or port+tonic.
It was an amazing few hours - thanks Miguel for leading us around your amazing city!Lots of food in various city spots

We had a great 10 tastings-tour with Mayumi. After we booked she contacted us about dietary restrictions etc and adapted the Tour accordingly. She has a great personality and lots of knowledge. We tasted so much different delicious food and drink and left with full bellies and a better understanding of Porto. She also had great tips for restaurants and other activities. A good Tour to do at the start of your visit. A perfect tour with Mayumi

I had the pleasure of Miguel taking me and my son round the more obscure parts of Porto on the Tasting Tour. Miquel was really a blast and we had a lot of fun and tasted a lot of lovely food and drink. It was great value for money as Miguel even stayed longer than the 3 hours. I would recommend!Cool tastings!

Maria is really approachable and open for any conversation. She knows a lot about the places we went to and told about old family stories, the changes in Porto throughout the years. All the tips before the the tour were great and good, and also after the tour she kept advising us when we asked. Most off all during the tour she showed us really nice places, and more then half were visited again by us. Make sure your belly isnt full when you start, because it will be full afterwards. If you are in Porto Maria is the one i would advise to take a tour with on the first day.
On a personal note: Maria thanks again, me and Prosnacko had a wonderfull day!

We had a truly enjoyable food and wine tour of Porto with Maria through Withlocals. From the start, Maria greeted us warmly and instantly made us feel like locals. Our journey began with a visit to a charming neighborhood grocery store that she frequented as a child — a personal and authentic touch that set the tone for the day.
We started with a “Romeo and Juliet” tasting — a delightful combination of cheese and jelly — followed by a stop at Ben Bom, where we enjoyed a classic pastel de nata paired with a rich Portuguese coffee. Maria then took us to Minerva for a tasting of premium canned sardines, a local specialty we might have otherwise overlooked.
At the Porto Market Hall, we sampled a fresh oyster, followed by a tasting of both red and white local wines. We also tried Ginja, a cherry liqueur served in small edible chocolate cups — fun and flavorful!
The experience ended at a cozy bar owned by one of Maria’s childhood friends, where we enjoyed a fish cake, thinly sliced fresh meats, and traditional peasant bread served with refreshing Vinho Verde.
Maria was engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her city. She added a personal touch to each stop, making the experience feel intimate and genuine.
This was our first Withlocals tour — recommended by a friend who uses it often when visiting new cities. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, though we felt the food quantity could have been a bit more robust, especially considering the price point of €205 for two people.
That said, Maria’s warmth and the local, personal connections made the tour memorable, and we’d happily recommend it to others looking for a more personal, insider’s taste of Afternoon in Porto with Maria

Miguel gave us the best food tour. He loves his city and he took us to so many amazing places to try authentic food from Portugal. We went to local spots and ate some amazing food from cheeses, meats, figs, chocolates, meat pies, and more. We ended with a drink at a very cool bar that overlooks the bridge. Miguel was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely passionate about his beautiful city. The tour went by so quickly and we did not want it to end. Thanks Miguel! We will recommend you to our friends and family who are going to visit Porto. We hope to see you again! Miguel is the best!!

We had an absolutely unforgettable time on the “10 Tastings of Porto” tour with Mayumi. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, warm, and packed with flavour – both literally and figuratively! Mayumi is everything you want in a guide: incredibly knowledgeable, deeply passionate about Porto and its food culture, and effortlessly personable.
She didn’t just take us to eat – she brought the city to life through its cuisine, history, and hidden gems. Every stop felt carefully chosen, with delicious tastings and meaningful stories that made the experience so much richer.
If you’re visiting Porto and want a truly authentic, delicious, and memorable experience – book this tour. Mayumi is a gem, and we agree with every glowing review she’s received. Thank you, Mayumi – you made our trip extra special!
The best food tour – worth every penny!

She introduced us to the scrumptious foods of Porto along with imparting her vast knowledge of wines, in particular port wines. On this tour, she shared history of Portugal and Porto. She was kind enough to make dining reservations that turned out to be real gems. We would highly recommend Mayumi to anybody wanting an introduction to Porto/PortugalGreat foods and history of Porto

Maria did an excellent job guiding us around her neighborhood in Porto. She hit all the things that Porto is known for, pastries, pork sandwiches, cured meats, sardines, etc. and she obviously had relationships with many of the proprietors. Her sommelier background was a great addition. She steered us to some excellent tastings in the Douro Valley the next day.Great experience!

Touring with him felt like spending the day with a good friend who knows everything about the city. We were so impressed (and had such a great time) that we even went back to some of the spots he showed us, hoping we’d run into him again! He made Porto come alive for us. Can’t recommend Miguel highly enough—just a great guy all around!Awesome Tour

We really got a lot of exciting tastings - and a lot of food - when you sum it all up. Vera has a lovely winning personality - with a wonderful sense of humor. We can only recommend this trip. P.s. Don't expect to be able to eat a big dinner if you take this trip around lunchtime😄A lovely experience
