Tour description

Voted the best original walking tour in the world.
7 different Free Walking Tours of Lisbon. Local guides with dozens of tips and advice.

The sound of Fado is much more than a tour, it is an experience. Here the guide is replaced by a fado singer who will take you on a journey through the different moments in the history of fado, but above all he will guide you through a musical style that needs 5 senses to be felt. We will ask you to close your eyes and listen with your heart.

"The question is to feel fado. Because fado is not sung, it is done. Fado is not understood or explained, it is felt"- Amália Rodrigues

Despite being classified as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, on this tour, you will listen to the fado of the Portuguese and listen to it too.

Mariana is just awesome! I did the most authentic experience to discover the actual identity of Lisbon and the Fado. I strongly recommend it as it's outside of the mainstream attractions. Thanks to Mariana, very professional, funny and a great Fado singer

This is a fantastic tour! You will truly appreciate Fado by the end. You will learn about the neighborhood and how it is tied to the history and development of Fado - and who the major singers were and are along with their influence on the country’s social life and political history. The guide breathes life into the fado characters, dramatically relating stories and even singing some songs. It was fabulous and would absolutely take it again. Highly recommend!
