Porto Craft Beer Tour: 7 Beers + 3 Food Pairings in a Small Group

1.Porto Craft Beer Tour: 7 Beers + 3 Food Pairings in a Small Group

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,725 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90Our pick

Spend about three hours with a local guide such as Paulo, André, Angelo, or Pedro, visiting four Porto beer spots. You’ll taste Portuguese craft beers, pair them with foods such as empadas, bifana, and Francesinha, and learn how the city’s young brewing scene took shape.

“My tour ended up being just me and guide Angelo. I was a bit worried that without a group my experience might not be as positive but that was far from the case!

He was able to go deep into topics I had only heard the surface of on another tour and made it very informative. Also learning his personal journey and sharing my experience and observations with beer and wine-as well as American culture-in general…”

Chris, our guide for the evening, was hugely knowledgeable, poetic even, and imparted his knowledge in an interesting and clear manner with the all important samples to illustrate the points! The tour is well planned and paced, we visited three breweries, but never felt rushed and there is plenty of time for chatting and munching on the very nice snacks!”
