Take this tour! - My husband, my son and I just took this tour and loved it! Roy was our guide and he was fantastic! He’s very knowledgeable about the city and Portugal in general and does a great job of communicating that to the group. He’s got a ton of personality, which makes the tour fun as well as informative. The fado was very entertaining also. It was a great way to spend our last night in Lisbon!

Five Star Walking tour and Fado dinner - We had a wonderful experience with our Fado Walking tour while visiting Lisbon with our friends. Rafael was very knowledgeable about the history , culture and the architecture, the walk was educational and he had tips on where to eat and Shop. The Fado dinner was an authentic Portuguese 4 course meal that was amazing The Fado entertainment was superb. I highly recommend Rafael as your tour guide, he even walked us to our hotel to ensure we got back and educated us more on the history of Lisbon.

Great experience. - I had an incredible experience on the Fado tour. Rodrigo was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Portuguese history and culture, which he connected beautifully to the roots of Fado. He also made sure we had front row seats, adding to the magic of the evening. The performance itself was unforgettable; every singer delivered a powerful, soulful performance that truly captured the spirit of Fado. A truly memorable experience—10/10 and highly recommended.

Nice tour with Dinner and Fado - Miguel was a great guide! Knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. Perfect English! Tour of Alfama with some overlooks and history. We sat outdoors with the singers on my shoulder! Several men and a wonderful woman! Dinner was 4 choices with a drink and dessert. Food okay but filling. Easy metro access.

Music out of this world, so soulful - Rui , our guide, was great, just know that you are in for a historic tour before you get to the fantastic music and mediocre food. But the fado music is magical!

Nice evening with good music. - A good walk of more than an hour, with a detailed explanation of the history of Portugal, Lisbon and how that has to do with the creation of the Fado. Guide Rodrigo knows a lot and knows how to tell this in a nice way. Food was fine, and the singers who come to sing the Fado were really good. Nice songs heard. Rodrigo translated several more, so we knew what it was about. Group was only very large, so that not everyone heard everything correctly and therefore some no longer bothered to listen to the guide.
