As music lovers, we were drawn to this tour to understand how fado came to be. Luis, our outstanding and informative guide, did just that. He helped us see the significance of the neighborhood of Mooraria in many of the traditional songs, performed by the old time fado singers and the great love and admiration held for these singers. The tour was punctuated with samples of recorded musings - a very helpful touch.
