Miguel was amazing! - We booked this tour last minute and it definitely did not disappoint. Miguel was a fantastic tour guide with lots of knowledge of the history of Portugal and Fado. At one point it started to lightly rain. He stopped periodically to make sure we were comfortable with the drizzle. I highly recommend this experience as the Fado dinner was very intimate with talented singers and musicians. The food was very tasty and authentic.

Do not book this. The tour operator is a cheat and does not respond if there is an issue. - My flight was delayed. I sent multiple messages to the tour operator and asked if they could wait for me for me because I may be late by around 10 minutes. No response. I arrived at Rossio station at 5 minutes past 7 so I was only 5 minutes late. I sent a message saying I am at Rossio station . No response. I sent another message asking if the tour had started and to let me know if I could meet up at a different place and joined up if already started. No response. The day before they took the payment they said they did not have vegetarian option only salad. This was in response to my message to them 3 months before. Also I find it hard to believe that if dinner is included in $ 75.00, they can only give me salad? Terrible service and the tour operator really cheated me. I understand if they said they could not wait 10 minutes or less, but they can at least respond and tell me. I don’t understand about the food. If they cannot cater to a vegetarian they should not sell the tour without stating that they do not accommodate any dietary requirements. At least if they responded saying where I could meet up with the tour since I was already at Rossio station and could have taken a cab or metro to that location. This is not an acceptable situation. Please see that the tour operator refunds my money as I did not take their tour.
