A “must do” tour while in Lisbon - We love to listen to a variety of music but had never heard fado music. So when we saw this tour, we knew it was something we definitely wanted to do. Miguel was our guide and started with a walking tour. He explained a brief history of Portugal and then we walked to Alfama where fado originated. He also took us to some spectacular viewing points to see the city of Lisbon. This tour has lots of steps before coming to the restaurant for dinner and music. The restaurant was quaint and intimate and the performers were outstanding. Definitely a must see in Lisbon and we hope you get Miguel as your guide!

Great value Fado experience! - Rui was a great guide, providing a mixture of really interesting historical information and funny anecdotes. The restaurant was very atmospheric, the music was enchanting and the traditional food was delicious as long as you’re not expecting a fine dining experience. The evening was just over 4 hours long in total so great value. Would recommend!

A taste of Portugal to stimulate all senses - Miquel was a terrific tour guide with an impressive knowledge of Portuguese and Lisbon history. His overview was especially helpful for those of us who are history-impaired. On top of that, he was able to share theories about the development of Fado that added so much flavor when we actually heard the live music. So much talent was present from every angle. Thank you so much, Miguel!

Diner wirh some Fado music - There are some steep inclines as part of the walk to get to the viewpoints. In fact it was a walk to a Restaurant with some stops on the way. We had better food in other restaurants. The information at the stops were good to know and some fun facts. This and the fado music made the difference.
