What people are saying about Coimbra

Very good and touching music, great voices, very professional, in a small, almost family setting. The group has also performed in Hamburg in the well-known and large Laitzhalle. However, the port wine tasting was not a tasting but a sip afterwards, and should perhaps be taken out as it arouses false expectations.

My husband and I found out about this Fado show in get you guide. It was an incredible show performed by very talented musicians! You should definitely make reservations to see this very traditional Fado. You will not be disappointed!

Once we got to the theater, the show was terrific. The performers were excellent and provided a good introduction to fado. The acoustics were good and it was easy to see the performance.

Friendly staff who are passionate about Fado. Great historical references on Fado music.

Authentieke muziek in een passend jasje. Kortom, een bijzonder en sfeervolle ervaring.
