Raquel Azedo was wonderful! She is smart, well informed, and enthusiastic about the subjects of Fado, history and food. She has a pleasant personality and cares about the subject matter and the experience of the clients. I will recommend her to everyone visiting Lisbon.

Excellent tour of the Moorish neighborhoods of Lisbon and (surprising!) history of fado with fun stops along the way. The food, wine, and ginjinha are all top notch. The fado dinner was a very cool experience. Felt like a very good mix of locals and tourists, plenty of Portuguese folks singing along (when invited by the singer) and several family birthday dinners. Helena was a terrific guide, bringing a wealth of knowledge to contextualize the importance and impact of fado, food, and suadade for the Portuguese people and their history.

Amazing tour, very insightful with a lot of similarities to the birth of a lot of popular music in the United States. Food was exceptional and the Fado at the end was phenomenal! My advice, bring your walking shoes and make sure to ask for Raquel! She made every step worth it. Great way to celebrate my birthday.
