To someone that had never heard of Fado this one was a very special night I will never forget. I don’t speak any Portuguese yet the emotions and feelings were carried through the music and the incredible voice of the singers. Delicious food as well.

I have to admit I was a bit doubtful of going to watch a fado in Portugal, and wasn't sure of what to expect. But I was very pleasantly surprised and absolutely loved the experience! The food was very tasty, traditional Portuguese cuisine, very nicely cooked. The atmosphere in the restaurant was enchanting, and there seemed to be quite a few locals there, which is always a good sign. And the Fado performances were very passionate and moving. The two guitar players were great as well. It was a very enjoyable evening, felt very tempted to repeating it the following day!

Really good tour and over-view of central Lisbon with a great introduction to Fado at the end.

It was awesome. Seeing the city at dusk and learning the various types of history at each stop. Inez was 100% beautiful and awsome host. Good luck to her and her studies.

This is an absolutely must-do tour. The Lisbon by Night tour was terrific, but I have to admit that the highlight for us was the opportunity to experience a Fado.

An excellent view of Lisbon in the evening driving through different areas of the city. Nuno, although his English was not all that great, was a very good guide. I enjoyed hearing old favorite fado songs. There were three singers. Of them, the woman was excellent---as good as Amalia Rodriguez. The two men singers were not up to her caliber. However, the dinner was mediocre, and perhaps you might consider changing the venue.

Our driver (Nuno) was great and gave us an excellent tour. The fado performance at the restaurant was good. However, the food was unimpressive and not properly cooked. The meat in my dish was hard to eat. This was a disappointment, considering how accessible and affordable great food is in Portugal.

We chose this tour since we wanted to experience true Fado in Lisbon without having to find our way to a venue in the Alfama and back to the hotel on our own late at night in a strange city. We were not disappointed. The five singers each did a four song set singers and along with their accompanists were exceptional. The restaurant food was tasty, probably as good as we could expect for typical local cuisine with very generous pouring of Portugese wines. The only negative would be the van tour before the Fado show. The van and guide were about an hour late so we had a rushed, drive-by tour of many interesting sites with only a few stops and photo ops before we had to hurry to get to our restaurant for the start of the Fado show.

I am the only one on this tour but Ines - the tour guide was very nice. The weather was not pleasant since it was cold and sometimes rained so I couldn't see the sunset - but I enjoyed watching Lisbon under night lights from very good view points. Appreciate free drinks on the way and dinner with fado in the restaurant in Alfama - feel like a genuine Lisbon atmosphere there!

The tour was very interesting and the panoramas beautiful because the guide - Flavius - treat his job in a very professional way. The Fado performances was of medium quality and the restaurant very small, we staied near the open door and it was cold.

We were picked up from the hotel and taken on a fantistic trip round Lisbon and surrounding area for about 1 1/2 hours, our guide from cooltours was first class and showed a real passion for his city. The Fado show was in the old town in a typical old restaurant with lots of atmosphere, the singers and guitar players were good but the food which were included in the tour price were not up to an acceptable standard and spoiled the over all experience, we would have been much better off if we could have ordered from the a la carte menu.
