Nuno is terrific sharing what he knows about the history of the walled tiles along the churches, train station, houses . Tells you the about techniques used to make the tiles and who made them. Also gives info on some of the local murals. Ask Nuno anything . He will create the tour with what you’re interested in! At 1st I wasn’t sure what we were going to learn at the start of the tour but it just got better & better! It was nice that it was just the 4 of us in our group. The next 3 days in Porto we had a new interest s we’d pass other locations with tiles on the facade and realized the importance of what we learned about the tile history!

Nuno was a wonderful host and instructor. I do quite a bit of cooking myself, but I still learned a few new things, and learned about Portuguese cuisine. It was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about taking a cooking class in Porto. There was an abundance of food and great variety as well.

This was a fabulous activity for the 5 of us while visiting Portugal. First, communication before the session was excellent, as the menu and day was planned. The class takes place in Nuno's home, so it's quiet and relaxed. It's also tailored to your needs. We ate so much we ended up cancelling our dinner plans that night! The fresh fish with lemongrass straight from Nuno's garden was amazing, and I cannot wait to try to make the clams at home. He even sends a small (and growing) book of recipes to you. Nuno also gave us tips for how to spend our time, where to eat, and how to buy the best virgin olive oil. Would absolutely recommend this, even for non-cooks.

"Me and my friend spent a wonderful evening with Nuno enjoying tasteful Portuguese food and interesting conversation. We felt like visiting a good friend. Nuno is able to create a special warm atmosphere and makes his guests to open up and enjoy the whole setting. He was very generous both with serving local delicatesses (some of them, like olive oil, olives and an excellent port, were even produced by his relatives) and sharing his knowledge about Portuguese history, customs and the daily life. If you are looking for a true “slow food” experience combining with making acquaintance with an intelligent, open-minded and hospitable person, hurry up to book you “Be my guest in Porto” lunch or dinner. I would definitely recommend “Be my guest in Porto” as the best organized activity in Porto for single travelers and small group.
As far as I know Nuno is doing some walking tours as well. I would presume that with his background and extensive knowledge of Portuguese culture and history, these walking tours have to be a head above other similar concepts in Porto." (Svetlana)
