Interesting museum, and an informative guide but the highlight for me was the wonderful fado performance and the quality port to savour.
Excellent guided tour and superb moment with the concert while tasting the port wine
We were excited to visit Calem Caves and Port House and we were not disappointed. We had selected the Fado Show version which finishes with a tasting of two of the Houses’ Port Wines while enjoying a Fado Show - this was my wife and my first experience of Fado and it was fantastic. Our guide through the Porto House was very knowledgeable and gave us a good history of Calem and how the Port is made, it is a modern facility & very well put together. I would say if you are looking for a genuine Port House Tour and tasting to maybe not book the Fado Show experience as the tour was a little rushed. However for a very unique experience we would definitely recommend.
The wine tour was interesting and it's good to see a Fado show while in Portugal. It wasnt too long, got just a nice taste of it. This wasn't our favorite thing to do in Portugal but felt we needed to see the Fado and to learn about port because, of course, we're in Porto.
The tour was very informative and well-run. The tasting while small, at only two lines, was very good. And the fado show was extremely entertaining. I was actually like the guitar playing.
The visit is regrettable. Excessively short for the price it has, the guide was very unpleasant, and the tasting of three wines without anything solid to accompany them makes it very heavy. Very expensive for what it is. I do not recommend it to anyone.
The tour was cool and the music was great. The musical portion was wonderful and the musicians were very talented. I did expect more wine to taste instead of two tiny cups.
Excellent entertaining fado show. Guide could benefit from a microphone as I had to strain to hear against distant background noise.
This tour was great! The location is right on the main drag, so it's easy to find. You have a self-guided tour of the small museum, then you are divided into two groups for the main tour. It was very informative! After that, you are led upstairs and seated in a room with small tables, where you have two kinds of port to drink plus a few crackers. You are treated to a fado show, which was great!
The tour was a major disappointment. The group was so large we couldn’t hear or see the tour guide or the displays he was discussing. The performance for the fado show with very good, but again we were at the back of the room so not good sight lines. Overall not good value for the amount paid (28€ each).
