Pretty good, port & Fado!
Mandy_M

We arrived to an awesome intro lesson to Port with our host. He was charming, knowledgeable and great. After this we were brought to the large upper room for 2 kinds of port and a Fado show. I really enjoyed learning about the product before consuming. There wasn’t anything wrong with either but the second part of the tour lacked much personality or uniqueness. No one mingled, there wasn’t much interaction and I would have liked more of that. Fado is such a beautiful genre of music. I think adding some history or storytelling interaction would be a 5 star review!

Very disappointing
ffion_w

Would not recommend- the tour guide rushed us through the visit as he said we had to be at the fado 5 mins before - we then waited for 20mins for the other tour to finish so the fado could start. Very disappointed - we came to this to not only experience fado ( which you can do else where) but to learn about port - we did not learn anything from the experience.

Excellent short tour followed by good music and port

Most friendly guide during the informative tour. We were with our 9 year old son and it was nice to have a relatively short tour and go straight to the fado show . Two excellent wines served and small crackers to go with them . We had been told that a soft drink would be provided to children but we had brought some juice with us and did not bother to ask for any.

Good experience of typical Portuguese show!
Kim_C
, Sep 2019
It was nice to experience the Fado tradition, although I think if you understand what is being sung, you would appreciate it more! The Porto tour at Cálem was good, although fairly basic. It would have been nice to be able to order an additional tasting of port as the portions are small and did not last for the duration of the show. Another issue was that after the show, we went to the store to make a purchase and when we went to use the washroom, were yelled at that the washrooms were closed...we did not appreciate the tone of the employee or the fact that we were not able to use the washroom when we had just spent money at the shop after the show. We ended up going for a full glass of port next door at another cellar (Douro Velho) and the host was amazing and accommodating...I would not hesitate to recommend that restaurant as service was efficient and friendly.

A lovely tour of the cellars by an engaging and funny girl. She gave enough information in a short time but not overwhelming and answered all questions put to her. Followed by a tasting full servings of a white and tawny port. Both very distinctive but equally as delicious. All this while listening to 2 fado singers and 2 guitarist. They say to hear fado in Coimbra or Lisbon which we did see another show in Lisbon but this show was every bit equal to it and I believe the guitarists here to be amazing. Made our first night in Portugal a delight for things to come. Well worth going.

The cellar tour was interesting, though brief. The Fado show was wonderful. Sitting with a glass of port ,looking out across the river while listening to such emotional songs and music was truly memorable experience.

Get tickets in advance because this sells out quickly. The Calem Cellars is a biggie when it comes to port wine and this is a popular cave in a convenient and attractive location by the river. The building looked like a newly renovated visitors and wine tasting center, which was very modern and attractive. First there is a tour and a tasting and then the fado performance begins, with a lady then a gentleman performing alone as well as a duet. The two guitarists were equally good and the music was terrific. Compared to the other fado I had been hearing during my trip, this was delightfully more upbeat in rhythm yet conveyed the same sadness and melancholy of the slower fado songs. A nice event. Please note that it wasn't easy getting a taxi back to Porto. The company called twice for a cab, but they never came. I finally tracked down one that was dropping off a passenger, but hailing a free taxi was difficult, so plan accordingly.

Great night out had all the flavour of Northern Portugal and it was really good value for money. The Calem cellers are on the other side of the river from the center of Porto, pleasant walk with all the old port transporting boats moored along side the quayside.

The fado show was good - I wouldn't say great. Can get an equitable experience for free tucked away in an alley or train station. The wine was good. The tour, just the right length. Would have been better if you could purchase additional glasses instead of 2 samples for the whole show.

Very exciting tour, Maria our hostess was really kind and professional and speaks a perfect english. The tour is a bit quick, and in offseason a bit disappointing with only 6-8 people. The Fado Show is not a real show, but a beautiful concert with typical portuguese music. The women singing had a mind-blowing voice! They did everything to entertain us, it worth the time and the price! The only thing that could be better: some more information about the wines dueing the tasting. Thanks a lot, best regards!
