“This was a fantastic way to learn about and enjoy the local Portuguese cuisine. The trip to the market was informative and fun and the cookery school is modern and clean with a great set up for enjoying watching and joining in with the cooking and of course eating it as well. The food was plentiful and very tasty and the hosts are warm, lovely and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour, it added something special to trip to Porto!”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
