More than just a ghost tour - Domingos did a fantastic job!! He went above and beyond what we expected. He showed us not only the dark side of Porto, but gave us a lot of history too that we didn’t get in another tour. We had a great time, learned lots, and got some great pictures! Highly highly recommended!!
