Overview

A Fadista will accompany the tour singing in the alleys, squares and local taverns that have played an important part in Fado’s history.

At the end of the tour, enjoy another fado performance while also enjoying traditional Portuguese appetizers and a jar of Portuguese made wine in one of the most known Fado houses of Alfama, all included in the price of the tour!
