Definitely romantic! - Sara, our guide was a delight. She pointed out some very helpful locations and things to which helped to informed our self directed activities the following day. The Fado show was everything we hoped. Portuguese guitar is beautiful and the singers were truly engaged yo the point that we felt the emotion without understanding the lyrics. The food was typical Portuguese and delicious.

A must-see when visiting Porto! - The best way to spend a night in Porto! Our tour guide, Maria, was incredibly knowledgeable and she took us on a fantastic tour prior to dinner. We saw so many great historic points but I think our favorite was seeing where the river meets the sea. Maria explained how the locals gather in a plaza on the banks of the water and enjoy their beverage of choice to watch the sunset. The Fado show and dinner was phenomenal! The location felt intimate and we felt like we were transported in time. The food was delicious and the Fado show itself was a delight! To hear authentic Portuguese music, beautifully performed, was truly wonderful. It definitely made for a romantic night out!

Much more than great food, drink and entertainment - The title of this tour is deceptive. Not only were we treated to some wonderful Portuegese Fado music throughout the evening, with several courses of authentic local food and drink, but prior to arrival at the restaurant we had a very nice city tour including sights on both sides of the Tagus river. Our guide was excellent and a wealth of information regarding Lisbon.

unforgettable! - My sister(my best friend) and me were collected at our hotel by Marco, an amicable employee of Cooltour. The little tour around Porto at night paired with the funny stories and the little language course of Marco made us sure that we would have a wonderful night in Porto. When we entered the restaurant, we were welcomed by very kind people. As they knew from my food intolerances, they did everything to make sure I could still enjoy the time there. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask their names, but I want to thank the waiters for their effort again. Especially the tall one, who really bothered about me. Thank you so much! After eating the most delicious salmon in my life, the Fado began with the lovely voice of Patricia Costa. I fell in love with her voice and bought her CD immediately when it was offered to us :) Even though I understood the text in snatches, I was close to tears 3 times that evening! Fado is all about feeling. No matter if it's about love, hate, solitude or hope. It was my first contact with Fado and will definitely not be the last. Thank you so much for having us, O Fado! And thanks for your right choice, Cooltour :) BR, Bahar Kagit (Germany)

Good guided tour by minivan, mediocre dinner and OK show - Excellent driver/guide, who went the extra mile to show us the best of Porto. Dinner was disappointing, the service was poor, they forgot about our main course order and were rude when we asked about what was going on. Food was OK. The singing was OK, one of the singers sounded more professional than the other. The guitarists were very good.

Very good Fado performance and poor and bad dinner - The Best Part of the trip was our guide Rodrigo, very friendly, well mannered and knowledgable. He gave us nice ride to see city night panorama. As well performance of Fado music have bern beautiful and really good . Although wine was ok and one of the girls serving in the restaurant have been very nice and friendly, main waitress and the food was disappointment. I had very very bad cod dish, that was not eat able and not chewable at all, after I relate that to the waitress she took my plate and stated that she will pass massage to the chef. I haven't been offer anything as replacement!?? So in paying 65 euros dinner I enjoyed fado performance had a glass of vine and have eaten some bread with a dip and olives.

Sorry but this was a Bust... - Sorry but this was a Bust (with a capital B). We signed up for 7PM, so anticipated pick up before then, however we became suspicious when we were told we would get picked up at 7:40PM. Come to find out the show started at 9PM and we drove around (pure daylight) until 8:30PM. We were with a group of six and were seated separately, which is fine, except we were seated behind a concrete pillar that completely obstructed my friends view. It wouldn't have been so bad but there were closer tables that were vacant. The table of six, ordered food and drinks, and got their drinks before someone ever attended to us. The food and singers were mediocre, at best, and the performance didn't end until after 11PM. When home I proceeded to get sick within 2 hours. Very disappointing evening to say the least. Would not recommend.

Very disappointed - We booked and were confirmed. Then the day of the reservation we were cancelled because the venue could not accept us. Seems to me that Viator should be sure we were accepted before confirming with us. Eye disappointed with the entire process. Hopefully we get our money back. We did our job, Viator did not.
