Offered in: English

Join our boutique-private food & history tour that brings Porto's story alive through your stomach! The Portuguese culture surrounds food- its the heart of everything. some dishes actually originated in historical moments.
We will visit the best landmarks of Porto, understand the history of this wonderful city through its art, music, architecture and mostly FOOD.
Oh, you will learn everything you need to know about Porto and the Portuguese culture;
Who's the famous architect buried (somewhere) inside his own masterpiece, and why is there a cookie related to it? Who is the king who gave his heart to the city and why do people eat the visceral parts of the animal? How did the Jewish people hide their religion in a certain dish during the inquisition? Who is this little French girl who can, potentially, cause you a heart attack? And how does Harry Potter relate to all of this?
Come hungry!
