Review of Porto’s Cálem cellar tour with museum visit, two Port tastings, and a 45-minute Fado show in Vila Nova de Gaia.

“You have pestered me for a response. So I'd say very average experience. Billed as Fado and port tasting at Taylors Callum. Yes true but we milled around in the dark around very large barrels of port then ushered upstairs for a tasting glass of a red and white port. Then an average Fado set for 30 minutes and out the door. 4 songs and thanks for coming! Rip off. No emotion by singers just boring although musicians tried hard”
