Our guide, Sara, was delightful...taking us to a variety of places/venues to sample the flavors of Porto. Her knowledge of the local culture and customs made our visit even more enjoyable. We have taken food tours in many European cities, and this was among the best!

We had the greatest time touring with Oporto & Douro Moments! My husband and I had traveled to Porto once before but wanted to try something different this time. We booked a walking food and wine tour on a Sunday morning and it was the perfect way to see the city (definitely wear comfy shoes!) and get to learn a little more about the history and the special dishes of Porto! Highly recommend!

Dear Taylor; We are very grateful for your kind words and will be looking forward to welcome you back again! Warmest Wishes João Dias

Sara our guide met us at the Sao...

Geri.powder, Nov 2017

Sara our guide met us at the Sao Bento train station. She eagerly introduced herself and asked if we were familiar with the history of Porto and the train station. As we were not, she began explaining the history and the stories behind the wall tiles, which are very important in Porto. From the train station we began our walk, with the first stop being a coffee shop for lunch, where my travel companion was offered a Pork sandwich while I a nonmeat eater had a lovely salad. From the coffee shop we continued walking and eating, stopping at a cheese store, a bread shop, a wine store with another stop for some port. Our next stop was an traditional market where we sampled olives and nuts. By then we were satiated yet had more stops- Pastel de Nata a traditional dessert and coffee and an olive oil tasting. We thought this would be the standard 3 hour tour. Before we knew over 4 hours had passed and Sara was putting us in a cab with a doggie bag so we could continue feasting at our hotel. Not only does Sara offer a fabulous Food Tour, she also offers wine tours and day tours in and around Porto. Having been on several food tours in other European cities, I must say that Sara's tour was extremely comprehensive and throughly enjoyable!

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Dear Geri; Eating is almost an art form around here, too bad it isn't considered a sport as you might have been awarded a medal for your efforts on the tour day! Thank you so much for the great review and fierce recommendation of our services! Do not hesitate to contact us next time you are in Porto. All the best; The Team: Sara, Rui and João

Sarah could not do enough for us...

ch_s, Jun 2016

Sarah could not do enough for us especially as my wife is vegetarian. Her knowledge was amazing and perhaps the culmination of the tour at the Olive House was quite mind blowing as the lady who owns the place, had incredible knowledge about this subject Porto is about food and drink, don't miss it.

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Dear Colin; Thank you so much for your feedback and recommendation, we look forward to hear from you once more! Warm Regards; The Team: Sara, Rui and João
