About us

There are few places in the world where gastronomy is such a fundamental part of the culture as in Portugal.

To dream of Portugal is to dream of good food and good wine. Especially in the north of the country, where identity is born in the kitchens and passed at the table in the form of hearty dishes that feed not only the body but also the soul. An almost spiritual experience that is matched only by another pillar of the region's culture: religion. This is where the most beautiful cathedrals and sanctuaries, churches and chapels are found, and for many years it was in them that the local gastronomy grew: there is no religious festivity without an associated traditional dish, and it was in the kitchens of the monasteries and convents that the now most typical sweets of Portuguese culture were created. For us, this is the authentic north. Unexplored. Real. The North with an identity.

Because the North is more than Porto and the Douro region. The North is tradition, essence and authenticity. It's good food and good scenery, good architecture and good conversations. This is the North we now bring to you: through gastronomy and religious architecture, we will show you some of the most beautiful places in Northen Portugal. At Real North Gastro Tours we want to bring to life the portuguese popular expression “Comer a Rezar” – when the food is so good you have no choice but to thank the heavens while you are eating it.

Because better than seeing is tasting. Come and discover the North as only northerners do.
