Incredible experience! - This tour was phenomenal. Our guide Cecilia was knowledgeable, kind, and fun. She taught us the history of Fado music and showed us around Alfama. We enjoyed a wine tasting with a sardine snack, followed by a taste of homemade ginjinha! The highlight of the tour was the Fado show! We watched the show while being served a delicious dinner, wine, and dessert! This tour is an absolute must when visiting Lisboa!

Lisbon: Fado and Food by Foot!! - Everything was amazing from the views, and the history lesson given by Helena to the Fado and the food. Helena not only explained about the history of Lisbon and Portugal, but she was fantastic at answering questions and discussing current politics and events. It was a great first day on our Portugal vacation
