The sound of Fado is much more than a tour, it’s an experience. Here the guide is replaced by a Fado singer that will take you on a journey through the different moments in the history of Fado, but above all 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 point is to feel Fado. Because you do not sing Fado, it happens. You don't understand nor explain Fado, you feel it.”– Amália Rodrigues
Despite being classified as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, in this tour, you will hear about Fado of Portuguese people and also listen to it.
