Discover a side of Porto that doesn't appear in the guidebooks — and take it with you into the kitchen.

This experience starts in the city centre, at Carlos Alberto Square, where you'll meet your local guide — a true “tripeiro” (Porto native) — who will take you on a walking tour through the most authentic side of Porto, off the beaten tourist path.

Over the course of about two hours, you'll explore streets steeped in history, cultural venues, and areas that reveal a vibrant, creative city in constant evolution. Along the way, you'll hear stories, fun facts and local insights 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 cosy local venue, where a hands-on Portuguese cooking class will take place.

Here, you'll be invited to actively participate in preparing some of the most iconic dishes of Portuguese cuisine, 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 specialities such as caldo verde, traditional cod dishes, typical petiscos 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 the local culture, led by “tripeiros” who live in and know the city inside out.

Ideal for travellers seeking authentic experiences with a connection to local culture, and who want to discover Porto in a more genuine and memorable way.
