Highlights

Experience Lisbon by night and see how the Portuguese capital transforms. Begin your tour with pickup at 7:30pm and relax on your drive through downtown Lisbon. You will have the opportunity to visit famous attractions like Praça Marquês de Pombal, Avenida da Liberdade, Praça dos Restauradores, and Rossio Square.

With the appropriate music in the background, you’ll pass by the former house of the deceased Fado singer, Amália Rodrigues, while saluting the Belém Tower along with the nearby Jerónimos Monastery in honor of the Portuguese seamen. Afterwards, stop for a short break in Belém at the oldest confectionery in the city to try a traditional coffee along with a traditional Pasteis de Belém.

Enjoy a traditional meal at a restaurant (fish and meat menu), and then listen and watch as musicians perform Fado cultural music for you. Listen to the somber sounds of this folk music while you dine on Portuguese dishes. Take in the sounds of the fadista, accompanied by classical guitar. Fado is one of the most important folk traditions in Portugal and has been declared a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage form.

At the end of your tour, around 11:30pm, you will be returned to your hotel or accommodation.

Insightful - The Fado dinner show was a great intro into the history and cultural perspective of Lisbon and Portugal. Dinner was great and our tour guide Andre was super knowledgeable and stayed by our side the entire time. If you are looking for a historical cultural perspective, I would highly recommend.

Fado Dinner Show Private Excursion in Lisbon. - Our flight back to California from Barcelona required an overnight stopover in Lisbon. Booked a private tour as we could not take a group tour with a late afternoon arrival in Lisbon. We wanted to take at least a glimpse of the Lisbon night life. The local Viator tour agency recommended a private tour so that we can tailor our tour. Glad we did it. Our flight was delayed by almost an hour and our tour guide Paulo Mendes waited patiently for us at our hotel close to the airport. After check-in and bag storage at the hotel we went straight to a local restaurant for an unforgettable Fado music experience over dinner with some fellow tourists and locals. Food and drinks were excellent. After dinner Paulo took us for a drive around the must see places in Lisbon. We were not able to see all because of our limited time we have but we appreciate all the efforts made for us. Highly recommend the Fado Dinner Show Private Excursion in Lisbon. It's worth it. Thanks again Paulo. Lisbon-we will come back :-)

Fado Performance - Having heard and read a bit about the Fado tradition, we wanted to give it a go. We had a very nice evening tour of Lisbon, our driver was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Unfortunately for us, the Fado dinner portion was only so-so. While the singers were good, the food was only adequate and there was a large pillar between our table and the performers, so our stage view was poor.

Faldo dinner show disappointment - My wife and I were very disappointed in this event. We paid top dollar and then seated at the back of the room and at a sharp angle to the stage with all the larger tour groups in front of us. So very poor seating for the show. The driver was fine but supposed to have gotten a tour of the re the show all we did was sit in Humber to number traffic on one long street. Food nothing special and limited to a few selections. In all, sorry we paid the money in this event.

Bottom of the barrel - This experience was a tourist trap and it disrespected the traditions of a fado. At this pricing, we should not have been taken to hole in the wall location where they were only interested in getting more clients in to fill the venue. the fado singer was the owner asked us to be quite as to respect the music(as expected). However, during his performance, he was allowing customers to enter the venue and he would direct them to their seats. Such a disgrace to the fado history! The staff also would sing while in process of serving. Overall Just a terrible atmosphere and evening. Do not book this tour!!!
