About Porto Explorer

Food tours with local context

Private culinary routes and market walks shaped around Porto's local food culture.

Porto Explorer creates guided tasting experiences for food curious travelers, couples, small friend groups, and repeat visitors who want to explore the city through its markets, specialties, and neighbourhood stories.

Each route is arranged by advance appointment, with the meeting point and tasting plan confirmed before the tour. We focus on clear communication, local context, and a pace that leaves room to enjoy each stop properly.

Our story

How our tours took shape

A growing approach to culinary tours that keeps the experience personal, practical, and rooted in the city.

2018

Started in Porto

Porto Explorer began with a simple idea: show Porto through the places and flavours locals return to every day, not just the landmarks visitors already know.

Local storytelling award

Built around local food

From the first route, the focus was on neighbourhood food stories, market stops, and tastings that make sense in context rather than feeling randomly selected.

Private by appointment

Refined for private groups

Today, our private culinary routes are planned around the group, the timing, and the requested language, with recommendations shared after the tour as well.
