Hi there! Nice to meet you

I was born and raised in Porto. I lived here most of my life, except for the period that I studied in Coimbra. Though I've always been in contact with this incredible city. My return was therefore inevitable.

I love everything about Porto, from its narrow alleys to its picturesque landscapes. Not to mention the food, the people, the accent, the wines, the culture. It’s all part of who I am. I also love to travel, meet people from all over the world and exchange experiences. I will be delighted to show you the monuments, the History written on every old granite facade, the jaw dropping tiles, the pace of its streets, the delicious gastronomy and the myths behind its dragons. Allow me to show you Porto as it is: eclectic, genuine and undefeated!

Patricia is a warm, fun and knowledgeable host. She checked in with us beforehand on any food allergies, timely met us in a central location and took us to places we wouldn't have likely gone on our own. We really enjoyed the mix of places visited, with all tasty food served with delightful beverages. Even visited a food hall the locals used which was very interesting. Patricia promised us a 'surprise' at the end, and we were not disappointed with the last location we visited. Not knowing anyone in Porto, it was so nice to spend time with a host so interesting and kind as Patricia. I would recommend this tour for sure.Wonderful Tour

My husband and I had a delightful afternoon with Patricia. She was very personable and knowledgeable. She loves Porto and is very enthusiastic about her birthplace. She chose wonderful places for our tastings. We were able to sit and savor the tastings at every location while Patricia explained to us what we were tasting. We also enjoyed our conversations with her. We would definitely recommend booking your experience with Patricia.Delightful Experience

I am so happy that we decided to do this tour with Patricia. We simply had an amazing time. Patricia litteraly went the extra mile to make everything perfect for us. She made sure our kids were constantly enjoying it with some delicious tastings especially for them like icecream and fruit juice. But also the pasteis de nata and the authentic ham they loved. With a great combination of food, a nice strawl through the city, interesting stories and fun conversations, we enjoyed every bit of it! And the cherry on the cake were the really cool authentic places she took us to that we would never have thought of visiting ourselves. Owned by very friendly people. Is was not just about being served great traditional food, but also that they made us feel very welcome being part of the locals for a moment. We really, really loved the experience and can recommend it to everyone looking for a real Porto food experience. Even with young kids :) A real authentic Porto food experience

I don't know where to start. Everything about this tour was amazing and beyond any expectations we could have had. From the first contact, Patricia was friendly and happy to help design a personal experience. We wanted a Porto food tour, but we wanted it to include both vegan and non-vegan options because we are a mixed group. Patricia designed an awesome plan to accommodate all of our preferences. When we met her, she was immediately kind and welcoming, and very easy to talk to. My six year old absolutely adored her and spent most of the tour glued to her side. She gave us wonderful history and insight into Porto, as well as introducing us to amazing local food. The entire tour felt very personal. After, she sent us recommendations and information about specific places we discussed. I would 100% recommend booking a tour with Patricia. In fact, when we return we will likely book another with her!Amazing tour with Patricia!
