Reviews: Porto: Fado Concert in Porto's Most Beautiful House
Guest User2026-02-13
We loved this experience and would highly recommend it. Set in a charming music room of an historic house, we benefited from an intimate performance by Claudia and her two accomplices. The quality of their respective performances were far beyond our expectations and their enthusiasm and engagement with the small (10 person), multicultural audience was delightful and amusing. Along with the music we were treated to a generous glass of tawny port and a welcome pastis de nata. Claudia's voice reminded me of a plaintive Edith Piaf and enabled us to feel both the highs and lows of a Fado. This did not feel like a standard 'tourist' performance. It was much more.

During our stay in Porto, we wondered over to Gaia, took the gondola down and ended up in WOW, it did not disappoint! We purchased the daily pass and made the most use costing 5 museums over the afternoon. We saw Planet Cork, Wine Experience, the Chocolate Story, Pink Palace and the history of Porto! The staff throughout the whole place were very pleasant, answered all our questions. These are all self guided tours. Planet cork was amazing, didn't realize how much you could do with this. The wine experience tour was just as good so much info on wine. With a tasting at the end by Joao who was also great! The Chocolate Story was next and we had a great time enjoying chocolate from all the different stations and learning of its long history! again, the staff was awesome! The pink palace was really fun and definitely a instragram worthy opportunity at every turn! And finally the history of Porto! If you're looking for a great experience for wine, history and fun visit WOW!!

Reviews: Porto: Intimate Fado Show & Port Wine in Trindade Noble Hall

It was a pleasant experience, especially suitable for a first introduction to fado. It would be better to write that the entrance to the hall is to the right of the church entrance. Otherwise, it's hard to find.

Reviews: Douro Valley Tour: 2 Vineyard Visits, River Cruise, Winery Lunch
Guest User2024-07-29
We booked this trip for my 45th birthday and it was truly incredible. I kept having to pinch myself. Everything was so so beautiful and the settings were jaw dropping.
I can’t recommend this trip enough. Both informative but also fun.
Everything was so well organised and our guide Sara was incredible!
We loved our lunch under the vine leaves overlooking the vineyards with scenery for days. We went with such a lovely group of people and I loved that we all sat together at lunch and got to know each other.
The boat trip was also a highlight. What a lovely way to spend the afternoon!
We enjoyed the vineyard destinations, wine tastings, and authentic setting of each stop.
The vista views of the Duoro/ Sambosa country hills were breathtaking and beautifully stereoscopic.
Our tour guide, Sara, was informative, enjoyable, and very personable. She demonstrated a perfect blend of knowledge, localism, and easy-to-understand narration that made our trip enjoyable.
