Porto: Walking Tour with Locals + Portuguese Cooking Class with Meal

Discover Porto off the beaten tourist path with a guided walking tour led by locals and finish with a Portuguese cooking class. Cook traditional dishes and share the meal in an authentic setting.

Discover a side of Porto that doesn't appear in the guidebooks — and take it with you into the kitchen. This experience begins in the town center, at Carlos Alberto Square, where you will meet your local guide — a true “tripeiro” — who will accompany you on a walk through the most authentic Porto, off the beaten tourist path. Over the course of about two hours, you will explore streets full of history, cultural spaces, and areas that reveal a vibrant, creative, and constantly changing city. During the tour, you will hear stories, anecdotes, and local perspectives that only those who live in Porto know, giving you a deeper understanding of the city's identity. After the walk, the experience continues in a cozy local space, where a hands-on Portuguese cooking class will take place. Here, you will be invited to actively participate in the preparation of some of the most iconic dishes of Portuguese gastronomy, using fresh ingredients and traditional techniques. The session is relaxed, participatory, and designed so that everyone can learn and get involved in the process. The dishes prepared may include specialties such as caldo verde, traditional cod dishes, typical snacks, and Portuguese desserts, varying according to the season and the ingredients available. At the end, it's time to sit down at the table and share the meal prepared by the group — a central moment in Portuguese culture, where food, time, and conversation come together. More than a guided tour or a cooking class, this experience is an immersion in local culture, led by locals who live in and know the city inside out. Ideal for travelers looking for authentic experiences with a connection to the local culture, and who wish to discover Porto in a more genuine and memorable way.
