Hola! Encantado de conocerte

We all have to eat, but it does not necessarily have to be boring. I put all my heart into my dishes and that is what keeps me going :)

Our tour guide Helene was fantastic. She contacted us before the tour, coordinated the time and was there promptly at the appointed time. She understood our interests and worked with our pace. She was very knowledgeable on the history and shared stories and anecdotes. We also got to know how the locals lived, the places that locals frequent etc. we had a great time.Our tour guide Helene was fantastic!

Walking through Porto with Helena means you get to taste the best of what the city has to offer. Not only did she help us try wonderful foods from the market, shops, and restaurants, but she gave us wonderful tips and suggestions for places to visit and foods to try during the rest of our stay. Touring with Helena is perfect way to start your visit to Porto! Start your trip to Porto right!

Helena arrived at our hotel on time to pick us up, we were immediately at ease with her friendly personality. The drive to the Douro Valley was both scenic and very interesting, we stopped for coffee and scenic photo opportunities. The boat trip in Peniche was relaxing and the scenery beautiful followed by a very enjoyable lunch. The highlight was then the visit to the small family wine estate Quinta Seara d’Ordens, a beautiful winery, off the beaten track, stunning wines and a very entertaining tour. This topped off a perfect day out. Thank you Helena!!Great day out in the Douro Valley

Helena is the most loving friendly open and caring person that we ever had the pleasure to enjoy a tour with. She took care of our big group and made sure all our needs and wishes in the tour were fulfilled! She is a true local expert with a lot of knowledge and I could’ve not asked for a better guide 100% would recommend Helena and would love to have another experience with her. The only small improvement which has nothing to do with her as a guide but more the agenda of the tour would be to maybe go inside less shops and more restaurants and bar style locations.also I think the price is a little bit high for what you get in food value in the end.The most lovely guide I ever had

We really enjoyed our food tour with Helena. She was a super nice lady who we enjoyed spending the afternoon with. She was knowledgeable and easily answered all questions. She knows a lot about the local history and shared it with us. She even accommodated my super picky niece, who doesn't like to try new things by finding a chocolate muffin she would eat. If I ever go back to Porto, I will look up Helena again. Highly recommend! Great afternoon with Helena!

Our evening with Helena was a lovely retreat from touring and eating out. Helena was a gracious host and warmly shared stories of herself, her family, and the history of Porto. We enjoyed appetizers that included Chourico Assado prepared at the table, lovely bread including Broa, olive oil, olives, and light gold port wine. The main course was Arros con Marisco served with white wine from the Douro Valley. Without a doubt, it was the best dinner I had in Porto! I could have eaten the whole pot! Helena checked in with us before deciding on the menu which we appreciated and assisted us with figuring out transportation. Don't miss your opportunity to dine with Helena and enjoy her company. What a Lovely Evening!

I had a great time with Helena! She is very warm, open and friendly. I joined her experience with my early teens. We went to the local butcher shop and supermarket together and then enjoyed chatting and appetizers while cooking together. I especially loved a glass of vinho verde with requeijão de ovelha! I liked this cheese so much that I ended up buying it several times during the rest of my stay in Portugal. For the main course, she asked me in advance what we wanted, and although it was hard to choose as they were all appealing, we decided on the bacalhau dish. It was nice to see how to prepare bacalhau, a traditional ingredient that is an essential part of Portuguese cuisine. Also, since it was right around Easter time, she prepared Easter cookie baking for my daughter and she had fun cutting up the cookies and decorating them with chocolate. Thank you for a lovely relaxing evening!A Warm Welcome into a Local Home

Porto is a fantastic city and Helena is was a terrific guide! As a lifelong resident, Helena provided many personal stories along with a thorough overview of the history of Porto and Portugal. We learned so much about the architecture, the tiles, and the people as we walked through the neighborhoods. We're very happy that we chose her as our guide!So worth it!
