Great short video overview of the Portuguese tradition of Fado. Accompanied by live demonstration. The mandolin and guitar player were excellent and the singers had lovely voices. They provide a glass of Port to drink during the show! I highly recommend this very accessible introduction.

Small intimate venue. Really liked the videos shown in between the singers because they gave you so much insight into fado music, guitars used, and the history. I chose this fado venue because there were male and female singers. Such a wonderful experience & also tasted a nice port wine. Would definitely go back again!

Interesting history of Fado with performance. Two different types of Fado songs. Liked that it was 1 hour.

It was amazing performance by Fado artists! Very special and intimate. It felt like one big family gathering. I would really recommend it!

Perfect introduction to fado

lori_r, Mar 2026

The perfect experience to learn what Fado is and how it originated. The 2 singers were very very good and entertaining.

Wonderful Intimate Fado Performance

Tii_W, Mar 2026

The venue was easy to find. The host greeted me and checked me in. Go early because there are no assigned seats, I was able to sit right in the front. The port came right after I sat and the show started shortly after. The music was beautiful and the experience was very intimate. They play some videos in English to give you history on the roots of Fado. the performers and band were incredible and passionate. I was casually dressed with no problem. I would highly recommend if you have some free time and want to see something truly cultural.

James_E, Sep 2025

The driver was excellent and just a wealth of knowledge. The scenery/ countryside was beautiful. The river cruise was ok. The activities/stops were great selection. Food was good, as were the wine choices.

Well done

Geoffrey_N, Sep 2025

It was quite an experience. Would have loved to understand the actual meaning of the song they're singing but the melody and expressions of the singers would definitely uplift your spirit, despite the meaning supposedly about sad experiences.

Janet_F, Sep 2025

Lovely insight into traditional Portuguese culture. Well planned event with interesting video as well as the actual singing and guitar playing

Fantastic presentation of Fado history, musicians and singers

Alicia_V, Jul 2025

We enjoyed the lovely presentation about Fado's history, influence on culture and traditions. The singers and musicians were integrated perfectly within the presentation. There was complimentary wine and air conditioning which was a plus. We loved the songs, understanding their meanings and including the audience.

Fado expirience with good musicians and singers. Paola and a guy who's name I didn't remember. Both very good.

Learn about Fado.

Jenna_W, Mar 2025

Beautiful music, and a lot of history packed into just an hour! It would feel incomplete to visit Portugal without learning about Fado!!

Liliya_M, Feb 2025

Love it. Nice music, interesting explanation about the history of Fado, beautiful experience, good wine, try it, you won't regret.

Somewhat disappointing sing-along performance

Juergen_H, Feb 2025

Good music, good explanations, but I came to listen to original Fado music and not the audience being asked to sing along in three songs. There are better options on Porto.

Great Porto experience!

Joanne_M, Oct 2024

Wonderful experience. Singers, music & video about the history of Fado. Intimate place, friendly people!!

Wonderful Fado Performance

Helen_B, Oct 2024

The people at the Fado club were so accommodating when we were late for the performance due to the taxi drive going the wrong way. We'd stopped in earlier in the day so they knew we were excited and definitely coming. When we arrived quite late, they told us they we could attend the next performance and recommended a cafe close by to relax until it was time to go back.

Passionate singing and story about it

Ester_M, Oct 2024

It's all together: singing and telling the story about Fado. With proud and passion. Loved it! A nice glass of Porto makes it even more Portugal. Cute atmosfere.

Wonderfully moving

Laurie_M, Oct 2024

Loved this experience. It gave my husband and I a good understanding of the history of Fado music and the instruments used. We food the singing very moving and powerfully.
