Detailed Description
Starting near Bolhão Metro Station, you will walk to Mercearia do Bolhão to start your 3.5 hour tour with bread baked with chouriço and presunto, paired with goat's cheese and a sweet jam.
Then you will go to Confeitaria Ateneia to taste the oldest chocolate produced in Porto. Your next stop is to revive the fish industry and enjoy a taste of the sea paired with white wine at Loja das Conservas.
A delicious cod fish patanisca, game meat "sausage" and a glass of wine at Tascö are next on your tasting experience.

Are babies and young children welcomed on a tour?
Yes, babies and children are welcomed on our tour. However, we ask you to use your judgment to determine if the tour is appropriate for them. Please take into consideration that the tour is 3.5 hours long during which time we are either walking or standing for the majority of it.
We have designed most of the tour to go downhills, however due to steep inclines, tiny cobblestone streets and inaccessibility of the tasting locations, the tour is not baby stroller accessible. We recommend using the carrier.
Babies and small children who will not be joining the food tastings do not need a ticket.
