“A great experience that just got better and better as the evening went on. Our guide (Daniela) was informative, entertaining and very knowledgeable. The fado was exceptional… sadly I didn’t catch the singer’s name but both her and the guitarists were very talented. To be sipping delicious port, in the caves of the lodge whilst listening to it was a true privilege - we even had a lightning show outside the window to add to the experience! I was then taken to the restaurant for what I can only describe as a perfect meal. Three courses of excellent quality, delicious wine pairing and a great setting. A five star evening…”

12.“Porto: Fado Show with Guided Tour in a Historic Monastery”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 164 reviews · 1h 30m · from $15

Porto: guided tour of São Bento da Vitória, then an intimate 1-hour Fado show with Port and monk-made Singeverga liqueur. 90 mins.

“It was a lovely experience. Our taxi was late after the first driver dropped the job, and the team made sure we could join the experience when we arrived, and even brought us the liqueur we had missed at the start. The fado performance was sublime, really talented performers. Unfortunately we could not catch a lot of what was said about the monastery as it was quite hard for the person explaining to project in the big space so everyone could hear. But it was all excellent value for money - a glass of port was offered during the performance, too.”

14.Dinner with Fado and Traditional Portuguese Music

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 2 - 3 hours · from $70

Porto dinner at Restaurante RC: a UNESCO-listed 1894 setting with a live Fado show, traditional music, and a choice menu for $70.

“The dinner and show experience was unfortunately not good value for money. For the price paid, I expected a much higher standard overall. The food, in particular, was disappointing — the quality didn’t match the cost, and the dishes felt underwhelming and poorly executed. In addition, the event ran far too late into the night. By the time the show was in full swing, it was already much later than expected, which made the whole experience feel drawn out and tiring rather than enjoyable. Overall, it didn’t justify the expense, and I wouldn’t recommend it based on this experience.”
