Tour description

Delve with us into the darkest Porto so that, as night falls, we discover the legends that its inhabitants tell, the mysteries that inhabit its stones and the crimes that hide its alleys.

On this tour we will explore the most authentic corners of Porto, visiting little tourist places where we will appreciate the essence of the city. We will also visit some of its emblematic areas of the city and we will know its monuments, but we will do it by talking about what is not normally told.

Some of the places we will visit are:

  • Rua das Flores
  • Jewish quarter of Olival
  • Courtyard of the Hanged
  • Old Armenian Quarter
  • medieval wall
  • Douro River


Get ready for an unforgettable night in the company of ghosts, murders, bandits, desecrations, secrets and massacres.

Ines is a very enthusiastic guide who obviously loves her city, Porto. She's a very good storyteller and certainly will become one of the best storytellers of all. We learned about the city, but unlike a historical experience, this tour was special. It was an invitation for us to relax our analytical muscles and become immersed in the tales of the seedier, more violent stories emerging from the stones surrounding us. Not all stories are meant to be true... they are legends. In every legend there's a grain of truth. So good fable listeners suspend their rationality for a couple of hours and let the legends unfurl the vibe of the times that would cause these legends to be born. Usually poverty, greed, lust, desperation, racial or ethnic injustices, or class struggles are at the seat of the legends of darkness. Ines invited us to listen, laugh, gasp, and absorb the tales of a less savory side of Portugal. I'd love to hear how she tells these stories in several months. Thanks for the wonderful tour and i hope your guides are tipped very well for their talents.
