Dear Tali, I am really sorry for your experience and that you only had one tasting. This tour, being a Highlights and Hidden Gems tour is more focused on the attractions and not on the tastings of the place you visit. Thanks a lot for your understanding! Kind regards, Andrew from Withlocals

Orlando was very good on the history of Portugal and its peoples. He took us to the Tile and artefact museum which is a repository for people to restore their houses to their original splendour and was the highlight of the trip.

Porto is a Must

Our guide Orlando made this an A+ tour. He spoke excellent English which is very important when one has a hearing loss. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Porto and Portugal and was so pleasant to be with. For me, the two high points were (1) viewing the old city from a perfect vantage point looking down to the river and across to Gaia and (2) standing on Praca da Liberdade next to the statue of King Pedro IV while listening to Orlando's thorough yet succinct history lesson.
