A very professional and passionate performance. The small venue was central and easy to find, and air conditioned! The staff was very kind and provided explanations in English for the small audience. The talent of the Fado performers was second to none! Truly outstanding!

    Great male lead!

    Amy_C, Jun 2026
    This is a wonderful experience, especially if you want to learn more about Fado and the culture surrounding it. It was strange to be in row seating for this experience, but the singers and the information made up for that. The male singer was the best male singer was really talented, the best we had heard and we had gone to three fado shows.

    Great experience

    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.

    Great Introduction

    Lori_K, Jan 2026
    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.

    Wonderful fado music experience

    Linda_S, Jan 2026
    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
