Great experience - The experience is great, we go back into the room and immediately the experience and immersion begin. The projections are great we are really well immersed and each projection is well thought out about why I project this here and not there. My only flaw in the experience would be the audio guide whose quality is not top (some sizzling)

Fascinating and immersive - We saw Porto legends. This was a very immersive and entertaining experience. We felt that we were amongst the different figures from history as each legend was told. Artistic and informative.

Interesting to learn about Porto Legends - Fun way to spend an early evening -family of 5 adults - first visit to Porto for 3 of us. It was immersive and interesting to learn more of Porto’s history. Easy to find and interesting to also see the Custom’s building.

Effective - Easy to reach, special location. We looked at the legends of Porto. A little further away from the center, yet, even with children, to walk well. Staff moderately friendly but ok. The legends are translated into many languages via headphones. The visual effects were great. Kids loved it, so did we. The 5-year-old was still a bit overwhelmed, but overall it was perfectly fine. Recommended.

Good Show, Not a gimmick or tourist trap. - I usually don't go for "gimmicks" like this. It's just a laser show, isn't it? But this show was very reasonably priced. Told pieces of history. The narration was great. And the projections were pretty good. And walking thru the projections as they played movies was cool, too. I would definitely recommend this.

Old technology projecting images onto walls - Old technology projectors being used to tell the story of 10 Porto legends. After 3 the novelty had worn off. Grainy images are projected onto the surrounding walls as a voice tells each story. I think it’s probably been there for some time and is in need of an upgrade.

Staff - Maria needs serious help with her customer skills - ⭐☆☆☆☆ Extremely disappointing experience due to unprofessional staff conduct I recently visited Porto Legends with my family, including an elderly relative in a wheelchair and a young child in a buggy. While the exhibition itself was well presented and enjoyable, the behaviour of a staff member named Maria João was deeply concerning and detracted from the overall experience. From the outset, her attitude was discourteous and unwelcoming during the ticket check. Later, she addressed my family members in an abrupt and impolite manner while directing them downstairs. Another staff member kindly assisted them with the lift, confirming it was appropriate to use. However, upon arrival, Maria confronted our group, shouting aggressively that we should not have used it. Despite our calm explanation, she continued to raise her voice, snatched tickets from my 10-year-old son, and even pushed another visitor who appeared visibly shocked by her behaviour. She later accused us of not having sufficient tickets, only to be corrected by her colleague that children under five did not require one. No apology or acknowledgement followed. Such behaviour is entirely unacceptable in a customer-facing role. I sincerely hope management addresses this matter promptly through appropriate training and supervision to ensure other visitors do not experience the same treatment.

Disappointed! - Amateur effort. Poorly organised. We expected at least reasonable effects, but it’s about as good as my Dad and his slide projections!
