Dear Jorge, thank you so much for the wonderful tour of Porto! We enjoyed every minute – especially the delicious pastéis de nata you introduced us to, they were an absolute highlight. The visit to the Mercado do Bolhão was also fantastic: the stands you carefully selected gave us a truly authentic taste of Porto’s life. Your insider tips and your passion for the city made our stay unforgettable. We’re really grateful and can wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone visiting Porto! Hidden gems & authentic impressions

We enjoyed our food tour with Jorge, particular highlights were the delicious Bifana at a local cafe by the river and seeing the beautiful tile work at the train station. Jorge was knowledgeable about Porto’s history and receptive to any questions we had. Thank you

We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Porto with Jorge as our guide—and what an incredible experience it was! From the very beginning, Jorge made us feel like locals, not just tourists. He’s knowledgeable, passionate about his city, and full of great stories that brought Porto’s history and culture to life. We started our tour at the iconic Mercado do Bolhao and enjoyed hand crafted wines, meats, and cheeses. Later we visited São Bento train station, where Jorge pointed out the beautiful tile work and shared its historical significance. Then we wandered through some of Porto’s most breathtaking cathedrals and churches—each one more stunning than the last, and all enriched by Jorge’s insights. What really set this tour apart, though, were the local spots Jorge introduced us to. We ducked into tiny hole-in-the-wall cafés and visited out of the way old town passageways that we never would’ve found on our own. We sampled classic Portuguese dishes—everything from fresh-baked pastries to savory local specialties. Each bite was unforgettable, and each stop felt authentically Porto. Jorge’s warmth, humor, and deep knowledge made this one of the highlights of our trip. If you want to see the real Porto—not just the postcard views—book a tour with him. You’ll come away with full hearts, full stomachs, and stories to share for a lifetime. Highly recommend!An Unforgettable Tour of Porto with Jorge!

We so enjoyed our afternoon with professional and conversational Jorge - he immediately “got us” - accommodating our arrival at and introducing us to the Bolhao Market - where we ate and drank several times - cheese and carpaccio and seafood - taking in the sensory experience sprinkled with his personal history visiting the Market (where he obviously knows the owner-vendors). We are city-loving walkers, and Jorge’s content and pace perfectly matched ours - and though we booked this as an introductory food tour, we knew that Jorge would provide more - he shared along our historic and neighborhood route most engaging information about Porto history and sights. We concluded our tour at a locals-only establishment, where we truly could have stayed into the later afternoon for both another meal and more getting to know Jorge - and certainly anther cold carafe of Vino Verde as our table was right next to the gracious restaurant owners who were taking in their late lunch before dinner service. That said, Jorge offered where we might eat additionally later that evening, and we obviously did exactly that - another great culinary, Porto-specific restaurant where we again felt perfectly at home and hosted. Cheers & Saude, Jorge!Perfect Pace - Drink, Eats & Porto!

Had an excellent tour with Jorge - despite very heavy rain! We started in the Mercado do Bolhão with a glass of vinho verde and a cheese platter followed by some beef carpaccio and tartare. Jorge was very friendly and informative about Portuguese food and life, showing us sights we would otherwise not have seen, such as the railway station and making suggestions for other visits. We went to a local restaurant for a sandwich made with slow cooked pork that melted in the mouth and finally another local restaurant for a pastel de Nata. Delicious! An excellent introduction to Porto, thank you Jorge!A great introduction to Porto

We signed up for a 2 hour food tour with Jorge. We met at the Mercado do Bolhao for some starter snacks, and then walked to 2 other small, untouristy places for a simple meal and dessert. All the food choices were good and a comfortable conversation flowed throughout the tour. We liked the small, family-owned eating place the best. It had a good history and super food. The carpachio was also great. We recommend Jorge! Friendly Food Tour in Porto

Vera was incredibly personable, and quite early in the tour, it felt like we were old friends. She tailored the tour to our liking, making sure that we enjoyed the things we tried, and even added an extra at our request. This was the best part of my trip to Porto, by far!Amazing Food Tour

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

Born and raised in Porto, he has such deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden corners, and he shared it all in such a fun and engaging way. He went above and beyond for us — even staying extra hours to make sure we saw everything and then joining us for a drink, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Jorge is not only an incredible guide, but also a genuinely kind and generous person. If you want to see Porto through the eyes of a true local, don’t miss a tour with JorgeTruely Unforgettable!

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

From the wine talk and tasting to the relaxing boat ride to the delicious lunch, it was a lovely day! The views were unbeatable and Tiago was personable, fun, and kind. The laid back approach to the day was certainly appreciated and provided a much-needed respite from our tight travel schedules. When we arrived back in Porto, Tiago even took the extra time to drive us around the area, stop at the beach, grab ice cream, and share his recommendations for lunches and dinners. The following day we ran into Tiago near the Livario Lello and it was like running into an old friend - priceless!Delightful Day in the Douro
