★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 295 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $33

Meet at Cálem in Vila Nova de Gaia at 5:45 pm for a 30-minute cellar and museum visit, followed by 45 minutes of live fado with two port tastings. An English or multilingual guide explains the basics before singers and Portuguese guitarists perform.

“The tour and the Fado experience performers were exceptional. Unfortunately, there were a group of females at a table next to us during the Fado experience who ignored the announcement to not use flash in their cameras. They talked loudly throughout the performance and were in their cellphones with lighted screens. They also used flash on their cameras. It was extremely disrespectful and distracting. We reported it to one of the workers during the performance and no attempt was made on behalf of management to ask them to be respectful to the performers and fellow guests. That was disappointing and unacceptable.”

To be able to sit right in front of the singer and the guitar players, you could feel the emotion and the Passion of the performers. By chance, the infant daughter of our singer was there also which made the experience even more special. It was a wonderful experience and we could not recommend it highly enough.
