The tour and the atmosphere was absoloutely amazing:)
Thank you very much for such a positive review. We are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back.
Finding the entrance to this venue was a bit challenging as our Uber driver left us on the wrong side of the building based on the address provided. The discussion in the monastery was hard to hear. We thoroughly enjoyed the Fado show portion of this tour.
Thank you for your review, Kari. We are delighted that you enjoyed the Fado show in Porto. Although the correct address is clearly stated in our online bookings and brochures, GPS can confuse drivers due to our historic private monks' entrance. We also take note of your comment regarding the audio during the monastery guided tour; since this is one of the tallest churches in the city, its extreme height causes acoustic challenges, and we will work to ensure our guides are better heard. Thank you!
First Fado show and a very special evening. The reception and tour were top notch and the concert was intimate and stirring. Will attend again.
Knowing that your very first introduction to this music was so stirring and special means everything to us. Our goal is simply to share the history of fado before creating that intimate atmosphere during the concert. Thank you for this fado show in Porto review. It was a true pleasure hosting you!
Ok,boring talk at start music nice
Thank you for your feedback; we're glad you liked the music! The introduction shares the monastery's history and its deep connection to music, including a former monk who became a key fado figure, justifying our show there. We know historical context isn't for everyone, but it’s what makes this fado show in Porto unique. We appreciate your review. Best regards
Monastery experience was amazing! Learning some history during guided tour. also some wine and port tasting as included. Vocal has beautiful voice and instruments just made this a unique event!
We are really happy for your visit. Also for your experience with the tour and the fado. It´s a pleasure to know you enjoyed and we would love to welcome you again.
An unbeatable experience where you can enjoy the fado of Portuguese guitar masters and great fadistas like Pedro Ferreira
Quedamos muy contentos con tu visita y muy agradecidos por tu amable comentario.
We were welcomed warmly by two people from the Monastery and Casa da Guitarra with a liquor made by the three monks living in the Monastery. We then did a guided tour of the Monastery, and attended a show of Fado by two guitarists and a singer. We were offered a glass of Port wine. The show was really moving. One of the guitarist and the singer cried a bit. We loved it and highly recommend it.
What a pleasure to read about your experience in the monastery. We are really glad o know that the expereince was moving and you enjoyed it. Thank you so much, and we would love to welcome you again!
Excellent singer and musicians. Interesting venue in old monastery. Having seen a FADO show in Lisbon, this one was better and not accompanied by a mediocre dinner since there was none. Brief discussion of the monastery that was interesting but don’t know why it was advertised as a tour. But that was ok. Served two glasses of wine before the show .
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the music and the unique atmosphere of the monastery. We understand your opinion about the tour, as you had the chance to see during your visit, the Monastery is still very much in use for its several religious purposes, making it difficult to have access to the entire building. Nonetheless, we're happy you enjoyed the experience and we’re glad everything made for a memorable evening.
Great tour, very informative guide explained about the history of the monastery , then we had a complimentary drink made by the monks , like a schnapps, followed by a lovely glass of Port . The Fado show was amazing, such talent and authentic guitar playing and the singer was superb , like an opera singer so skilled and imersed in the music....
Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re pleased to know that you found the tour informative and enjoyed learning about the monastery’s history. It’s also wonderful to hear that you appreciated the traditional liquer, the Port wine, and especially the Fado performance. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
This was a wonderful combination of a history lesson and beautiful music. Before the music we were taken into the church for a very interesting lecture on Portugal history and the church. Then we moved to a room where two musicians and a singer gave us a wonderful concert. I highly recommend this activity. It is well worth the cost.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really glad you enjoyed the lecture on Portugal’s history and the church, as well as the fado concert that followed. Thanks again for coming!
