Pedro was very kind of it his and very professional with his explanations. We had a chance to visit the most important sites of Lisbona even if the traffic was terrific

We enjoyed exploring Alfama and enjoying the Fado experience with Pedro. He shared great insights into Alfama and Lisbon, giving our evening a nice historical touch. Pedro's quick pace kept things lively, and we loved discovering Ginja in a chocolate shell. The Fado show was a pleasant experience for us first-timers, and the food was excellent. Overall, a delightful evening with Pedro's enthusiastic guidance!

It was our best night out in Lisbon. Our tour guide Rui was very knowledgeable and friendly - he introduced us to the local neighbourhood in Alfama and Fado music. A great way to learn about Portuguese culture and have a great night out with enjoyable music, delicious food and wine. Highly recommended!

We spent the most enjoyable evening with our guide, Riu, who was charming, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. We began with a trip to the Graca Viewpoint for a stunning view of Lisbon at dusk, followed by a short walking tour of Alfama where we received a history lesson of Fado. We finished with a delightful dinner and wine while listening to the moving performances of the Fado singers and musicians. An excellent experience overall.

Amazing night, filled with priceless views, delicious food, emotion invoking music, and valuable insight into Alfama, Lisbon, and Portugal in general. Highly recommend! Our guide, André, was outstanding!

The show was a great way to experience the Portuguese culture. Both the male and female singer had powerful, beautiful voices and the musical accompaniment was traditional and very good.The Show was about 2 hours which was perfect to get a flavor for the music without overkill. Singers even got the audience involved a few times which made it even more fun. There are a few bars that also feature Fado but good luck getting in and you have to be a night owl. The Guide who picked up us and guided us was Rui. A young man with a big passion to his country. He was a gentleman and he explained all facts and Little details during our walking tour on the narrow streets of the old neighborhood of Alfama. I really appreciate his performance and character. This experience was our highlight of our short vacation in the beautiful Portugal!!!

Many thanks to Andre for this unforgettable night that granted us an opportunity to immerse in authentic atmosphere of Lisbon! Imagine breathtaking views from the hill followed by narrow streets of Fado, almost whispering its history to your ear; Portuguese fish stew combined with easily drinkable house white, accompanied by beautiful voices of local singers caressing your ears and Portuguese 12-strings guitar, all together setting a romantic mood that makes it a great experience for couples! Andre was insightful, sharing some interesting facts that you would not easily find online. His comments helped us to understand how Lisbon and Portugal as a whole have been developing throughout its history that shed light on many things we saw around us here and definitely brought us closer to understanding and 'feeling' this astonishing city better.
