    I had a hard time finding the statue meeting point. I took and uber to meet this tour. I waited in the rain messaging the tour with no response for 15 minutes. Finally he responded saying it’s cancelled . This was my only day in Porto with great expectations for food. Now I to find a place to dine on my own in the rain with no opportunity to reschedule.

    Well worth it!

    We really enjoyed this tour with Erica, having someone with local knowledge of local delicacies and Porto’s history was priceless. Food and drink was amazing and Erica was 5 out of 5 on the choices plus also gave us the info for the best Francesinha too.

    Food tour in Porto

    Miguel had a good understanding of the city and we found restaurants that served locally inspired dishes that we wouldn’t find by ourselves.

    Miguel our guide was...

    Miguel our guide was wonderful, however the food/beverage experience was not worth the cost. A little more time between meals might have helped.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback Linda, we will continue improving our experiences. Regards Angi

    Porto Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.

    How much does Porto Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Porto Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Porto is not rushed.

    Is Porto Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 193 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Porto Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Porto Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Porto Food Tour?

    +

    Around 68 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Porto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Porto Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Porto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Porto?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Douro Valley Small Group Tour: 2 Wineries, Lunch & River Cruise, Best of Porto Walking Tour Small Group Experience and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Porto?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Porto?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Porto Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Alcoholic beverages; Wine tasting; Snacks; and Beverages. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Personal Expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Porto Food Tour?

    +

    The Guide is in front of Guarany Cafe - at the Prosperity Statue (Avenida dos Aliados) and has an Orange Umbrella. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Porto Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Porto Food Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Porto Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Porto Food Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Porto Food Tour?

    +

    Across 193 reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, the guide, knowledge and storytelling. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
