“A real high light of our visit to Lisbon. Rita was great: explaining Fado and setting it in context, but also more generally about the history and culture of Lisbon. Really appreciated the effort she took to make notes on each Fado song at the restaurant and then explain afterwards what they were about. And the examples provided by the singer were very evocative. Definite five stars! One thing to note: the restauant options were either meat or fish, so Vegans and non-fish-eating vegetarians might want to check before booking”

“This was an amazing night and an amazing show. The food was so good which isn’t usually the case when you go to a place with a show. They had lots of options and everything was as cooked perfectly. Our server was the daughter chef and she was the sweetest and kindest person who had served me. She told me if I didn’t like anything I could change it to another dish. And always came and asked if we wanted any other drinks or anything. The show its self was so beautiful, it’s a must to see if you go to Lisbon. It’s beautiful and so emotional. There is so…”

“I booked the toir as a present for my parents. I have chosen fhis company among many others because they offered a pick up from the hotel. Unfortunately, at the day of the toir that was not done - they refused and after several phone calls and mails they told me the manager says there was nothing like that in the offer ( even though I sent screenshots per mail..) so that was disappointing as they were in a hotel far away from the city center ( the final meetkngpoint). However, the guide Diogo was very good and made the experinece a very nice one. After the event they took…”

Our calls were not returned. The company is now refusing to provide a refund. Terrible communication from this company resulted in our not receiving the service we paid for.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
