Helena was a gracious host and was willing to customize our samples and experiences in the market based on our preferences. Try the barnacles (percebes), they are worth the adventure!

Perfect intro to Porto
Our tour with Tiago was exactly how we wanted to experience Porto. Tiago was knowledgeable and generous in sharing local Porto with us. The food was delicious and the business owners were welcoming. In short, it was great.

Leisurely and personal tour
A very pleasant afternoon with Ana. This particular tour emphasized the local food experience and also some of the relatively less touristy backstreets with more commercial properties with an emphasis on architecture and urban development. Any if from Porto and mixed up the tour with reflections on how the city has changed for her over the last few decades. We would up the tour with a visit to the old Crystal Palace grounds. Here you can look across the river to the port houses and a quite massive urban development rising up behind it. 20 years ago, said Ana, that was pretty much all green space.
