Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Mildly entertaining, but would not do again. The two guitarists were quite good, but the female singer , although having a good voice, sang with her eyes closed all the time and did not engage well with the audience. The small room had about 40 people in the audience, so it felt cramped and a little unhealthy so soon after the pandemic.

We went to the 21h session, it is a 1 hour show with a break to taste a port wine. We really liked the place, full of guitars and the show. They sang two different skirtists and were choosing the repertoire as they saw fit

Good musicians, excellent singers and perfect frame. A pleasant moment in our visit to Porto. The experience is 1 hour with a break where they offer a port wine. The concert varied, in terms of repertoire of different types of Fado.

Magnificent show that leaves a beautiful memory of our trip to Porto. An enchanting evening, immersed in the poignant passion of Fado, in the vibrating guitars, in the melodies of fairy voices that sing the deepest feeling that comes from the soul. Thank you with all my heart

Intimate show in a small group in a small room. Remarkable performers who made us vibrate. Beautiful emotion, fado is lived. One hour duration is ideal with a small port during the intermission. We highly recommend this show. Very friendly musicians

If you like fado go, its excellent.
If you do go please consider others when videoing with you phone. Do you really need to record the whole thing ? With the brightness turned right up ? Holding the damn thing so its right in other peoples view ?

Very good option to listen to fado in Porto. Excellent musicians and good singers, in a comfortable, sober and elegant place. Small break with glass of wine. Very reasonable price for the experience.
Highly recommended if what you want is just to listen to fado without dinner.

We found a leaflet a the tourist office and decided to check the place out. The Casa Da Guitarra is a small guitar store where they sell many types of Guitars. If you are lucky the owner (Alfredo) is around, he has a passion for the Porto guitar he builds them and is a great player, we ended up leaving Porto with a new Guitar. The Fado concerts are great to attend too. Definitely worth a visit.

What a great find for music lovers! A real highlight of my trip to Porto. I discovered it by accident and within 30 minutes of entering the shop I'd bought a 'Rajao' - a traditional handmade Portuguese instrument that was one of the ancestors of the ukulele. The staff were very friendly and helpful and even arranged for my instrument to be shipped back to the UK for me.

Hola , que diferencia hay entre fado a las 6.00 y verano 2019
Written 19 July 2019
Bom dia,
A temporada Verano 2019 refere-se às sessões das 19h30 nas sextas (viernes) e sábados e às 18h, ao domingo, em que a cantora é diferente das sessões habituais.
A morada e preço são os mesmos.
Un saludo,
Cristina Marques
