About this tour
This short call gives a personal, current read on what is worth buying at Bolhão market this week, based on Igor's own shopping rather than a general guide. He talks through specific stalls and products he would actually recommend right now. The call stays practical and focused rather than covering the market's full history.
Igor asks what you are hoping to find or cook before tailoring his recommendations, then works through the market section by section from memory. He is honest when a stall is currently overpriced or under-stocked. A short shopping list follows the call by message.
This suits anyone planning their own visit to the market who wants current, practical advice. It also suits viewers cooking Portuguese food at home who want ingredient recommendations.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Porto: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
