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.

Local people + local food! We like the experience. Thank you, Ribs - a passion for a city meets a very lovely tour guide. We enjoyed our tour. Visiting places we would just pass without any notice, and learning about local food and habits. Our second food tour - not a last one :)

Amazing. We did both the food tour in Lisbon and Porto and both of them were amazing! With the preference of food between the two cities not being discussed (*cough Porto was amazing*) both tour guides were beyond amazing. (Carlos and ribs). You guys clearly love the country you live in and it shows. By the end of the tour it felt like we knew both tour guides for years. They were very personable and shared a ton of history, personal stories, and laughs. Thank you for focusing on quality over quantity!
We will definitely be a repeat customer across our travels.

Always a good idea to start a city trip.. Our 2. Eating Europa expirience - we love it! A good way to learn about local food and also local customs. We had a tour with a very commited guide - thank you, Ribs! - and very nice group. Such an interesting exchange between the people. We try to do such tours at the begging of a trip - always a good start... Looking forward to having tours in our next trips :)

My passions are strolling around the city, eating the city's lovely food, and learning about new cultures, and what better way to learn them than hearing what your culture is all about?
Leonor
My name is Leonor and I was born and raised in Porto.
My favorite food is the incredible Bacalhau com Natas.
What I enjoy the most is to get lost in the typical neighborhoods of the city and find quiet places to read, listen to music and, of course, have a beer and some tasteful, typical, local food!
Diogo RIbs
I'm born and raised in Porto.
My favourite dish is Arroz de Cabidela.
I believe that the relationship we have with food in Portugal is more than just eating. It's a passage of our families' history and heritage to others!
