Top Portugal Food Tours - page 35

Fabulous, fun and interesting . Grace was absolutely wonderful both in depth of knowledge and engaging personality. The group size was perfect allowing us to enjoy the experience on a more intimate level-allowing the group to engage in lovely conversations. Thank you and make sure to come hungry!!

What an incredible day! This was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Portugal, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Porto. A special thank you to our guide, **Filipe**, who was funny, friendly, and made the entire journey so enjoyable. He shared interesting stories throughout the day, kept everyone entertained, and was always happy to take photos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The Douro Valley itself is absolutely stunning. The winery visits were beautiful and gave us a great introduction to the region’s famous wines, but my favorite part was the **boat tour**. Cruising along the Douro River while surrounded by rolling vineyards and peaceful hills was incredibly relaxing. The views were breathtaking, and it was one of those moments where you just want to put your phone down and take it all in. Everything was well organized, the transportation was comfortable, and the itinerary struck a great balance between sightseeing and relaxation and a very nice traditional Portuguese meal. It was a memorable experience from beginning to end, and Filipe’s energy made it even better. I would happily book this tour again. ☺️

I did this tour with my Goddaughter the day before our cruise from Lisbon. We both enjoyed the selections. If you don't know a lot about ports, this tour will help your understanding and allow you to sample may varieties. You can learn your favorites, and have the opportunity to purchase, if you desire.

Renata was a great instructor and chef. She explained our cooking process and got everyone involved. We made several dishes including peri peri chicken, Bacalhau, caldo verde soup and many side dishes. Dessert was amazing as well. Our class chatted with each other while we cooked which made for a fun evening.

Met up Guiherme at the John 1 statue along with 10 other food explorers and we were off! The walking tour takes you around the downtown Lisbon district and treats you to pastries, Iberian ham, bifanas, pasteis de nata, cherry liquer and then a seafood lunch. Gui did a great job pacing the group, telling background details of each visit/food along with general Lisbon knowledge. Overall a very fun and tasty way to learn Lisbon.

This class was great! We are relatively experienced with cooking, but this class was perfect because while some people got the general “learn to cook” explanations, we still felt like it was a great class because we learned all about Portuguese-specific cooking and definitely came home with recipes we will be repeating. You definitely won’t leave this class hungry, plenty of food was made and all of it was delicious!

Informative and fun, we loved this hands-on, two-hour cooking experience where we learned about both the history and step by step technique in making not only Pastel de Nata, but also Farofias. Everything was so well thought out and paced, and the desserts were absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the clean and bright cooking school environment. Great facility and small group setting. Anna and Marta were wonderful, expert instructors. Again, pace of class was perfect for mixed ages (our group included ages 11 and 15). Fun to sit for a few minutes and enjoy eating our desserts at the very end!

It was lovely! Directions to get in were a little difficult to understand but we got in on time. Jorge was fantastic. English was excellent. We four guests were all home cooks and learned something. The conversation and the wine went along with a wonderful meal. Our 3 hour event stretched on for 4 and a half hours and that was a GOOD thing. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jorge and already have when we were on a boat and wine tour the next day.
