Helena was a very welcoming and knowledgeable guide! I was the only one who signed up for the Tuesday night tour, but she said they’ll run the tour even if just one person signs up. I was thankful for that! It was a different experience than I expected because it was just the two of us, but Helena made me feel very comfortable. I learned so much Lisbon and Fado history that I wouldn’t have gotten on my own, and the food/Fado was so good!

The Lisbon Food & Fado Tour with Helena was a major highlight of our family trip! Everyone enjoyed learning about the traditional cuisine and fado music while walking the narrow neighborhood streets displayed with artwork. Helena was so knowledgeable and passionate about her culture! She made us feel like one of the locals, especially when we knocked on Alice’s door in Alfama. The food was delicious and the live fado music forever memorable. I highly recommend this tour!
