A fun storytelling experience. - I had a great experience with Rodrigo he took his time explaining the stories of Portugal’s history in a way that was very entertaining and easy to understand. The restaurant we had went to had the Fado performance, which was an amazing experience to have. Rodrigo also took his time explaining the lyrics and the meaning behind each song. I would highly recommend this experience.

Definitely do this tour while you’re in Lisbon! - I really enjoyed this particular tour because it incorporated the history of Fado so when we went to the restaurant and listen to the music, we had more context into what was going on. Our guide, Miguel was very good about giving important and succinct information on Portugal’s history as well as the history of. Fado. This was a great tour and well worth the price!

Nice way to learn about the history of Portugal and about Fado - Very nice tour. Miguel gave a short summary of Portuguese history and history of Fado. I liked a short stroll through the streets of Lisbon. I expected more singing, but there were only a few songs. If you like to socialise then this tour is for you, as you will have a lot of time at the table.

Pelas ruas de Alfama - The tour started at the Rossio train station. The guide Rodrigo took a long time in the beginning with his speeches before entering Alfama. I think he could have been more concise while he was in the lower part. After all, the tour is about fado and Alfama. As is in the description, in an hour we should already be at the house of fado Alfama Grill, but we arrived practically two hours after the start. Because of this delay, we spent just over two hours at the bar. The food was very good. The two fadists who sang were very good. The atmosphere of the presentation venue was pleasant. Very valuable experience.
