Simply amazing! Loved the performance.
Great show, had no idea what to expect but spent a throughly enjoyable hour in the company of the musicians and Fado singers. It was an informative and extremely enjoyable experience and definitely worth doing when visiting Porto. Thank you
Beautiful portugese music with a good explanation of the evolution of Fado and what it means to the Portugese people. Thoroughly enjoyed this show. The port wine was also good.
Amazing experience! If you want to experience the essence of Portugal, you will absolutely love this show.
Excellent show and also very informative. A very good hour spent listening to the music. Staying on the river front and also really convenient in Ribiera
Fun and educational experience which was thoroughly enjoyable and help me better understand Fado in Portuguese society
Loved the combination of video history and live music. A lovely exposure to Fado and the history was kind and obviously very passionate about his craft.
Excellent Fado experience. I really knew nothing about Fado other than having people recommend going to one. This experience is a great way to learn and be entertained. They serve you a glass of port, it's a small setting. Live music begins the program and then it alternates between a documentary film and live performances. The guitarist (2) were fantastic and two different singers equally talented. Really enjoyed this program.
This was one of the best hours I spent in Portugal! Getting to learn about some of the history and instruments of fado in addition to hearing/feeling the ethereal voices of the singers and prodigious skill of the guitarists was phenomenal!
An intimate venue with an informative film interspersed with talented live performances taking one hour in total. What spoilt it for me was the solo singer who sang in casual clothes with his hands in his pockets and drinking from a carton. I felt the music and occasion deserved more respect.
We were a little underwhelmed, very nice people but lacked atmosphere.
Really great show - I enjoyed the video clips throughout explaining the history of Fado. The musicians and singers were great and got the audience involved too. I would recommend this show to experience Fado and learn about it in an interesting and interactive way
This was intimate and very moving, fantastic Fado musicians, very informative and good value for money - recommended without hesitation
Fabulous show! You not only hear from talented Fado singer and incredible guitar players, you’ll come away with a history and understanding of the origin of Fado. All this in a beautiful small venue… and a generous glass of port.
What a beautiful experience! So well explained, organised and curated. The music was so moving - I could feel the passion pouring out! Bravo! 👏
This was one of the highlights of our stay in Porto. The atmosphere was intimate, authentic, and incredibly moving from beginning to end. We really appreciated the interesting introductions between the songs, which helped us understand the history and emotions behind Fado. The musicians were outstanding, and both singers were exceptional. The female singer was absolutely phenomenal. Her voice was beautiful, powerful, and full of emotion. She captivated the audience from the very first note and gave us goosebumps more than once. Her performance was simply unforgettable. A very special moment was hearing the organizer share his own story about discovering Fado as a student. It made the evening feel even more personal and authentic. His own performance was equally impressive and reflected his genuine passion for this unique musical tradition. The quality of the music throughout the evening was outstanding, and the glass of Port wine was a lovely addition to the experience. We left deeply impressed and genuinely moved. We would highly recommend this performance to anyone visiting Porto. Thank you for such a memorable evening!
The performances were phenomenal. The musicians and vocalists were all exceptionally talented. The historical presentation was also well done and added to the experience overall. It was a great evening.
A delightful evening learning about the history and importance of Fado in Portuguese culture. Gonçalo, our host for the evening was warm and welcoming. The musicians were captivating and extremely talented. I highly recommend adding this show to your Porto itinerary.
Very much enjoyed our first encounter with fado. The history was well explained by the presenter and using video, interspersed with songs, singalongs and beautiful instrumentals - and with a glass of port ! A very nice hour was had.

Fantastic Experience, so pleased that we attended this show. The musicians and singers were outstanding, with the additional narrative and information explaining the origins and history of Fado. Would definately recommend anyone wanting to experience something memorable during their visit to Porto.
A very professional and passionate performance. The small venue was central and easy to find, and air conditioned! The staff was very kind and provided explanations in English for the small audience. The talent of the Fado performers was second to none! Truly outstanding!
Wanted a little authentic Porto cultural experience and this delivered, highly recommended.
This is a wonderful experience, especially if you want to learn more about Fado and the culture surrounding it. It was strange to be in row seating for this experience, but the singers and the information made up for that. The male singer was the best male singer was really talented, the best we had heard and we had gone to three fado shows.
What a lovely experience! Two fado singers, male and female, great acoustic guitar artists and port wine during the show. The presentation explaining the history of the genre was informative and well put together. The evening was well paced and very, very enjoyable! Well worth it!
Beautiful Fado sang and played by local artists. The show included an historical overview of Fado and the great artists. Very friendly and genuine delivery.
It was nice to get the history of Fado music.It was the perfect amount of time between history and hearing the music.
Great experience. A must visit.
Our family of 4, including 2 teenagers, really enjoyed the Fado show. The music was interspersed with an informational video - we were entertained and we learned something. The port wine sampling was a nice touch.
It was an authentic and friendly experience .in a convenient location. Thanks to the team for the warm welcome
Loved the variety and the explanations. Quality was excellent. Wine was wonderful. Highly recommend for a tasting menu of Fado :) !!
A wonderful experience! The presentation explained the significance of the music and instruments. The singing and playing was beautiful.
This was a great introduction to Fado music in a small intimate venue near the river. They offered us a glass of Port Wine upon arrival. The 2 guitar players were amazing and they had a woman and man singer who were very talented. The show lasted an hour and there was a short film which gave us information about the history of Fado music. I would recommend this venue!
Really beautiful and educational introduction to fado music. The musicians and singers were amazing. So moving - definitely worth it
If you are vacationing in Porto, Portugal you absolutely must go to Fado Na Baixa Porto! For $19 you’ll experience Fado with: a superb (regular) guitar player, an even more superb Portuguese guitar player, and both a male and female Fado singer with beautiful voices and passionate performances. In between songs, they play short video clips which explain Fado and give its history and meaning which makes this experience even more memorable. Oh yes…and you get a glass of port wine, too. Please go before they realize that they could charge a lot more for this magnificent experience.
Such a great experience, loved the story of the Fado history and the artist were all amazing. A must while visiting Porto ❤️
Our Fado experience in Porto was the perfect ending to our Portugal trip. It was wonderful to learn about the history of Fado and its deep cultural roots. The Portuguese guitar paired with the soulful songs is mesmerizing. Even without knowing the language, you can truly feel the passion. Highly recommended! The performance is a total of an hour and included a glass of Port wine.
The show was excellent. A vey interesting combination of beautiful fado music, instrumental music with a Portuguese Fado guitar, background explanation of the songs and a video explaining the history of Fado, it evolution over the years and important Fado singers. Highly recommended.
I loved this show! It was great that several videos explaining the history of fado were presented during the show -- my only complaint is that guitarrists played their guitars while the videos were shown; which made it difficult hearing the explanations. The wine was also great.
The music is beautiful, and I really appreciated the background info that they gave us. The female and the male singers were great!
Fado na Baixa offers an unforgettable and deeply moving experience. The musicians are incredibly talented, the atmosphere is intimate, and the Port wine is delicious!
Interesting history of Fado with performance. Two different types of Fado songs. Liked that it was 1 hour.
Beautiful... the knowledge we gained was amazing
The combination of short introduction with fado songs was grait
Fantastic experience with great explanation for the adults and kids. We especially enjoyed the explanation of the tradition while we listened to great music.
One hour with everything you should know about portugeese Fado song and music. Off course with live music and song, by highly professional singers and musicians , video clips about Fado history, building the legendary Lisboa Fado guitar and Fado legends. All presented in an intimate and heartwarm atmosphere in the old town of Porto - and served with a glass of fine Port. A must see and hear experience!
Its a nice experience and calm and inviting away from the noise of the city. Staff friendly and performers talented. Also story of Fado is interesting
It was amazing performance by Fado artists! Very special and intimate. It felt like one big family gathering. I would really recommend it!
