The guide was very good, he told us a lot about Fado. The food was OK, I can't rate the Fado musicians, it was the first time I heard live Fado music. It's a shame that I don't speak Portuguese and didn't understand the lyrics. Our guide translated the texts for us afterwards, which definitely helped.

The tour was perfect. Our guide Juan was at the meeting point and could tell us a lot about Fado. The walking distance was not too bad even for our parents of 70+. Juan really kept an eye out for them and took their age in consideration. Once at the Fado house it was sit back and enjoy.

100% recommended activity. The place, the musicians, the tapas, the wine, the service from both the tenant and our guide Kate was excellent. The only detail to change is that the number of people they accommodate for the show is too much for the size of the venue.
