There is a fair amount of walking on hills. 4.86 from 118 reviews. **Best overall:** 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. Trade-off: Cheese board and drinks, not a full dinner. (last checked July 15, 2026) ## Overview 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.
