Traveler Reviews

A brilliant experience! Our tour guide, Carla was amazing with expert knowledge and easy to follow recipes. Go hungry too as there’s plenty of food!

Catia is lovely and we enjoyed her cooking class. It is very laid back and non intimidating. We were in her home sharing cooking duties with a French couple who spoke very little English. But we were all positive about it. The food we cooked was very good!

My husband and I booked the cooking experience as an anniversary present and it didn't disappoint! We met Catia at the market and she showed us all the wonderful produce it has to offer, including some free samples ?? She the drove us to her beautiful home where we were able to prepare, cook and eat some amazing Portuguese food, which of course included Nata's. It was a highlight of our trip to Porto and thoroughly enjoyed every minute!

We had the best time during this experience! Catia is incredibly knowledgable, warm, and welcoming. Visiting the market was so fun and cooking together even more so. Could not recommend this experience more!

Catia was a great host and taught us so much about Portuguese culture. Her home was beautiful and the food was delicious.
