Guidekin's take

A walk through Mouraria where fado was born, told by a guide before you sit down to two drinks and a cheese board and a dinner in company, for 3h at €30 per person.

There is a fair amount of walking on hills. 4.86 from 118 reviews.

Best for: Three hours through the streets where fado was born, then a live set with 2 drinks and a cheese board. Rated 4.86 from 118 reviews, and only €30 per person. Fado Shows comparison

Trade-off: Cheese board and drinks, not a full dinner.

In our comparison: #2 of 6 in Fado Shows, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

    Itinerary

    About this tour, from the operator

    It is a neighborhood that the traveler would not reach by himself ... in this tour we will know the most authentic and special Lisbon ... to travel its streets will be like traveling in time. In addition, we will see where and how fado was born and that will help us to understand the show much better than we will see later.

    And of course, it will not only be a tour, it will be an experience where we can meet new people and enjoy the company and the delicious dinner.
