An amazing trip - a must when in Porto. What a wonderful day. From start to finish this tour was amazing. Goncalo, our guide was excellent, fluent English, funny and so knowledgeable. The food and port wine were really good and the day flowed so well. We met 5 lovely ladies from New York and very much enjoyed getting to know them as well as G. He read the room perfectly and allowed us time to chat over our food and wine which was lovely. We did not finish the tour until gone 3pm. A perfect day and worth every penny. Thank you G Dave and Ali xxx

The tour with Ribs was absolutely amazing. He is so knowledgeable about Porto and Portugal overall, catered to our needs, took us to authentic spots and explained the food and the culture behind it in depth. Highly recommend this tour! We also did the evening tour and was a fun way to eat dinner without having to go to one restaurant like we did the other nights.

My wife and I booked a private food tour in Porto. We expected a wonderful food experience and we did in fact have an amazing day walking around the city eating and drinking authentic Portuguese food. We did not expect to enjoy our time with our guide as much as we did! Diogo Ribs added so much to the food tour. He is knowledgeable about the food (he is working on a master’s related to the culinary arts), he literally grew up in the neighborhood we started our tour in so he had a wealth of knowledge and was able to share childhood and family memories about theareaandthe city, but most of all he was fun to hang out with for hours! Thanks for the great tour and the fun day!

This was our fifth Eating Europe Food Tours, and one of our favorites to date! Our guide, Leo, was marvelous, so friendly and interesting. She gave us great insight to Portuguese culture and lifestyle. The stops and food choices on this tour were exceptional. We always make it a point to book an Eating Europe Food Tour, and are looking forward to our next outing!

We just did the Porto Wine and Dine tour with Ribs and I can’t recommend it enough. We explored Gaia and tried local dishes from establishments that are only known to locals. Ribs was extremely knowledgeable, not only about the Food but Porto and Portugal history and culture in general. It's the best way to explore and get exposed to the area and taste the local cuisine. I also love that we visited some very small businesses during this trip. A must do while in Porto!

Leo was Fantastic. She listened, she told us interesting facts with plenty of stories. We loved hearing about Portugal’s cultures and family traditions. My husband had some specific food and transportation needs and she was patient and very kind. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Always love Kenny’s eating tours and this was one of the most personalized.

If you're visiting Porto and want to experience the city like a true local, book a food tour with Ribs—you won’t regret it! From the moment we met him, Ribs made us feel like old friends. He’s warm, personable, and passionate about his city, which shines through in every stop and story he shares.
This wasn’t just a food tour; it was a deep dive into Porto’s culture, history, and identity through its cuisine. Ribs took us to hidden gems and authentic spots where locals actually go—places we would have never found on our own. At each stop, he explained not just what we were eating, but why it mattered—how certain dishes came to be, what they meant to the people of Porto, and how they fit into the region’s history.
He also went above and beyond to accommodate a gluten allergy, making sure every stop had a safe and delicious alternative without compromising the experience. It was clear he had planned ahead and genuinely cared about making everyone feel included and comfortable.
Every bite was delicious, and every moment felt genuine and thoughtfully curated. We left the tour full (literally and figuratively!)—with happy stomachs, new knowledge, and a stronger connection to the city.
Highly recommended—thank you, Ribs, for an unforgettable experience!

We had a great time with Diogo, who gave us a history, food, and drink tour all in one. Is there a better way to experience Porto and Portugal? I don’t think so. I strongly recommend Diogo for any visitors to the beautiful city of Porto.

My name is Leonor and I was born and raised in Porto.
My favorite food is the incredible Bacalhau com Natas.
