Exciting evening of Fado - Our driver, Antonio, arrived before agreed time and has been very helpful, polite, pleasant, caring and easy to talk to throughout the whole trip. The show was delightful, beautiful voices and rich guitar music in a small lively place. The food and wine were good. We got back to the hotel full of Fado and thinking how lucky we were to have choosenTony and his company to take us on this trip. We recommend the trip, the company and most of all Antonio.

Discovering Portugal through emotions - For me, travelling is not about visiting highly touristic places, taking pictures in front of monuments, etc. when I travel I want to connect with local people, enjoy their arts or try their favorite foods. This is what my wife and I had the chance to experience with this tour. We really enjoyed the Fado experience, it felt deep, and the food, coming slowly but in large quantities was good. I personally wished that they would have given at least the English translations of the song titles but we could still enjoy the performance a lot. The female singer was very impressive. We could feel that our guide, Andrew, clearly tried his best to make this experience unforgettable for us as well as to convey the warmth and depth of the Portuguese culture. Simply put, we had a great time and we were satisfied to start our trip in Lisbon this way!

Fado experience at night (New Year's Eve) - Pedro, our tour guide, was very accommodating and culturally well-educated. He led us through the city at night with the other participants from the group, who were very friendly by the way, and told us about all of Alfama's partially hidden historical and cultural highlights. Afterwards we went on to the Fado restaurant together. The food and the menu in the Fado restaurant were quite varied and the three singers had great voices. I hope that we can attend another event with Pedro's team soon.

An evening in Alfama - 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!
