Here’s an overview of your tour
Fado is designated as popular portuguese music.
In 2011, Fado was considered "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity".
And why? Fado is much more than to sing and to play an instrument. Fado is "saudade", a feeling everyone experience even without having the word on the dictionary. Nothing better to get the feeling than to come to a popular venue where locals, more or less spontaneously, share their passion.
I present you Fado as someone years ago showed it to me: inside a typical venue, surrounded by passionate people, during the afternoon. And because it is time to chill out why not to taste typical food (petiscos) and typical drinks (not only wine or beer, but "receita" or "sangria").
I give you tips to enjoy the moment and I personalize you this experience.
Tour not available on Thursday and Sunday.

Come with me through paths very well explored by locals. Depending on the day you choose the tour, be sure I will talk about and point you these main points: Downtown of Porto and magnificent buildings, e.g. Town Hall, São Bento Train Station (tiles and clocks will be shown), a street called Santo António with a beautiful church on the top and two lovers on the top corner of two shops. Let me introduce you a little bit more inside streets "off the beaten track", old parishes and so unexpected stories about popular traditions as São João (the 24th June).Fado, Food and Drinks
Very local spots with a story. I tell you how old is the typical venue, why they start presenting music and of course, you get the information about Fado music rulesEnd of Tour
Enjoy the afternoon, sunset hour... I give you suggestions to explore other areas of the city and we say... goodbye!
