The band was friendly, kind to the audience, took time to explain Fado in three different languages, and had beautiful music. Great setting and enjoyed the Port wine. Intimate setting, maybe 40 people.

Highly recommend. Located in the boat club the view is beautiful while you wait for the start of the performance. With a glass of port included, and incredibly talented musicians, it felt like a very authentic experience. The repertoire had a real range and although I had no clue what the songs were about I’m guessing it was a roller coaster of emotions. Great value for money in a small setting.

We happened upon this show while walking along the riverfront. We had wanted to experience Fado but not stay up too late or spend a lot of $ on show and dinner. This was perfect as the performers were talented and personable, and we also received an interesting education about the music (and a glass of port).

My wife and I were visiting Porto and wanted to hear/experience Fado. I was reluctant to book a Fado performance at a restaurant with dinner, as often the fixed price means a fixed menu, and my wife has dietary restrictions and many restaurants do not cater well to her restrictions. This particular Fado performance was at 5:30 and since we had dinner reservations already booked elsewhere for 7pm it fit with our schedule. The performance was just under an hour and it included a nice glass of port. The performers were very talented and explained Fado and their songs to the audience in both English and French. Everyone, including some families with children, were made to feel welcome. I felt this was a wonderful experience and highly recommend it.

We found this experience by chance as it is hosted within the rowing club which was saw as soon as we got off the water taxi ferry from the other side of the river. My husband used to row so we were looking through the door and one of the guitarists, Luis Gregorio, invited us in for a tour then told us about his fado show. We bought two tickets, were treated to a delicious glass of port and a fabulous 45 minute performance from these three extremely talented musicians. It was the perfect way to experience this traditional style of music in a location overlooking the Douro river. If I was to suggest an improvement it would be more comfortable chairs or some cushions on the existing ones and an ability to buy extra drinks once you’ve had your complimentary port and maybe also snacks / olives etc? Loved it as an experience overall though and would highly recommend.

It was a wonderful and spectacular concert, in a secluded and endearing atmosphere, with incredible musicians and a singer with a privileged voice. The beautiful songs, without a doubt an indelible memory in a city that will remain in our memory. It was a Fado recital that everyone should hear. Thank you very much for this beautiful concert.

Very nice moment in a small room of the nautical circle facing the arrival of the river shuttle. The show lasts approximately 1 hour (at 5:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.) and is truly intimate and captivating. We let ourselves be lulled by the voice of the singer who makes us share and participate in a warm atmosphere. The musicians (traditional Portuguese instrument and guitar) are very professional. View of the Douro, the boats and as a bonus a small glass of Port to savor... Magnificent experience for a low price.
