    Fantastic experience

    Such a fantastic way to experience the hidden food gems of the city. Mariya was such a friendly and informative guide. We ate some lovely pastel de nata, fish at the market, bifana and other great foods finished off with a lovely tawny port. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: We’re grateful you spent the afternoon with Secret Food Tours. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and giving the team a little something to smile about!

    Yummy food tour experience

    Nuno was a wonderful guide and food was delicious, great variety. A good bit of walking but not strenuous at all. A nice mix of history along with the legacy of the food culture in Porto.

    Response from the operator: It was a pleasure to have you with us. Thank you for taking the time to return and share your experience, as reviews like yours are always appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!

    Amazing introduction to our visit in Porto with the loveliest Mariya

    Mariya brought us on the perfect introductory tour of Porto, showcasing the food, culture and architecture with humour, knowledge and a discernible sense of pride. We were lucky enough to be a small party and it felt like a private tour with friends. 10/10 would come again!

    Response from the operator: We were delighted to read your comments. It's great when guests leave feeling they've seen a different side of the city. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!

    Porto Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Porto Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $351 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 Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 61 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 Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours?

    +

    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 Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Porto Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours?

    +

    Around 21 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Porto Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours 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, Best of Porto Walking Tour Small Group Experience and Local Guide, Douro Valley Small Group Tour: 2 Wineries, Lunch & River Cruise. 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 Private Walking Food Tour With Secret Food Tours?

    +

    Included: Francesinha (beef and melted cheese appetizer with a spicy sauce); Canned portuguese fish; Our delicious Secret Dish; Bifana (traditional pork sandwich); and Custard Tart. Not included: Hotel Pick Up and Drop Off; and Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    We'll meet in the Coliseu Porto Ageas, Rua Passos Manuel , 137. Our guide will be standing there to greet you with our orange Secret Food Tours umbrella so we are easy to spot! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
