5.00Catarina was excellent! Very informative about the city and culture, took us to eat many great foods, wines were excellent choices (for people who know wines but are not experts by any means). She made the day very fun! Definitely worth our money!

5.00Our tour with Catarina was hands down my favorite experience of a 16 day trip across Portugal, Spain and Italy. Part history tour (everything from the history of the hand painted tiles to Harry Potter), part food and wine tour, you're in great hands with Catarina! She knows the ins and outs of the best local places, from historic restaurants to modern seafood places. Definitely come hungry - from the first huge "tour of Portugal" meat and cheese board (and the best sardines!), to the "McDonalds" of Portugal (don't worry, there's not a Big Mac in sight, only a delicious pork sandwich and beer), to fresh caught seafood and pastries made with centuries old family recipes, you will NOT be disappointed. She will definitely guide you off the beaten path and towards locally owned and operated restaurants, market stands, bakeries and more with some of the best food we had on our trip (all in the same day, no less!). She was a wealth of information on restaurants and treats (like the famous eclair) we should try during the rest of our stay as well as experiences at the Port Houses across the river. We highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Porto!

5.00This tour was by far the best we ever experienced. Catalina is so knowledgeable, kind, fun, warm. A true pleasure to be with. Each step of her tour was a fun surprise of the very best Porto has to offer. The foods and wines were both delicious and beautifully presented. Her individualized, creative booklet just added to her expert ability to present this fabulous wine and food tour. We would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Catalina!

5.00Catarina was excellent. Gave us a good starting place to eat and drink in Porto. Not only did we enjoy the afternoon tasting different dishes but she also gave us information for the rest of our stay. We followed up on the port tasting house and had a really excellent tasting session. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a feel for the food and drink in the city.
Great experience. Learn...
