What you'll do

On our Secret Food Tour: Porto, you'll start in the heart of Porto's city center at Coliseu, the largest theater in the city. From there you'll discover a traditional open-air market; feast on a variety of fresh foods; test local alcohols and come face to face with stunning, quintessential Portuguese architecture. Learn about the area's fascinating history; experience Porto's colorful culture; and get a sense of what local life in this idyllic coastal city is like, all while tasting delicious, authentic Portuguese cuisine.

Quality drinks will be served at some stops, however if you would like more, a thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package, is available.

You'll start at a "Confeitaria" for a pão de ló — — local sponge cake — accompanied by an espresso coffee.
Next, we'll stop at a city market where you'll enjoy a Canned portuguese fish and a glass of vinho verde.
We'll dine on a bifana in a super local restaurant.
You'll taste a unique appetizer, the francesinha. Porto's most well known meat sandwich with a small glass of Portuguese draft beer.
We'll sample one glass of 10 years Old Port wine with an astonishing view of the Douro River.
As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.

When you purchase our Upgraded Drinks Package, you'll enjoy the following in addition to the drinks already served on the tour:

An extra portion of verde wine
A large draft beer

WHY DOWNTOWN PORTO AND RIBEIRA?

We chose these two districts because of their strong identity within the city and their unique atmospheres, delicious food, famous wine, and interesting culture.

We'll step back in time to explore the city's 18th, 19th and 20th century areas as well as the medieval area, classified by UNESCO.

Through the narrow streets of the Ribeira neighborhood, we will find the magnificent scenes of the Douro River crossed by the famous iron Dom Luís I Bridge.

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Porto. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
