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

Joao is charming and gave my daughter and I a locals view of living in Porto. I was expecting to have a tour down the back streets of Ribeira, with stories of what had happened there and more historical information about past life in Porto. We visited the main avenues of the city which of course was vibrant and we especially enjoyed our visit to the old custard tart shop. It was a fun trip. If anything I would have liked to have learnt more about the history of Porto. Joao made sure we were filled in about what to do and where to go after our trip. Thanks very much!
