The short answer

Porto Food Tour runs 3 hours from €60.00; Pastel de Nata Cooking Class runs 2 hours from €35.00. Pastel de Nata Cooking Class has the higher rating (9.6/10), though the review counts are different: 8 and 19. Porto Food Tour has fewer than 20 English reviews, so treat its rating cautiously.

The verdict, by goal.

Choose the food tour (Porto Food Tour) if you want to taste several things on the move. Compared with the other, on the numbers it does not lead on any single measure.
Choose the cooking class (Pastel de Nata Cooking Class) if you want to make the food yourself. Compared with the other, it is shorter (2 hours against 3 hours); its hourly rate is lower (€17.50 against €20.00); the starting price is lower (€35.00 against €60.00); it has more English reviews (19 against 8).

Neither is declared the best: the choice depends on what you want from the time. Confirm the exact option, language and date on Civitatis.

A little food for thought

Before you book.

How is the price per hour calculated?

We divide the recorded starting price by the listed duration in hours and round to two decimals. It compares the cost of the time, not the quality of the food.

Are prices and reviews live?

No. They were recorded from Civitatis on 5 Nov 2026. Reviews refer to the English version of each product. Check the provider for today’s price, availability and terms.
