Fado is linked to the Portuguese word ‘saudade’, a hard to define word conjuring up the sense of loss and homesickness felt by sailors. The soulful songs can be accompanied by solo guitar, a string quartet or even a full orchestra.
It’s easy to experience the romance of fado while you’re in Lisbon. Combine dinner and a fado floorshow with folk dance and music at one of the city’s renowned fado restaurants.

This was a great value...Sophia was a fantastic guide...very knowledgeable, engaged well with everyone and had a lovely personality. The final destination for the Fado was amaing...this was a real experience...the place was packed with people standing outside...however the tour has a reserved table and we had soup, bread, charitzo and potatoes along with wine...everything was tasty ...and the Fado was a true gem to listen to....This will be a definite repeat when we come back to Lisbon again!
