A relaxing experience away from the bustle of Porto. - We really enjoyed this experience. We learnt about some Porto legends and the visuals were lovely to watch. It was nice to visit this experience and to take time out from the busy streets of Porto

Worth the detour - 45 minutes of Porto history through legends immersed in the basement of the old customs house. Worth the detour. Allows you to count the city in a fun way that will undoubtedly appeal to your children.

Trema, ma non cade! - I had the opportunity to have this experience during a vacation in Porto. Perhaps my expectations were too high. From the point of view of visual effects, the environment is suggestive in itself and somehow this it could be an added value, but during the vision I had the feeling that I was missing something, whether I was standing or walking along the aisles. The background sounds are sometimes disturbing and distracting, rather than helping immersion. The narrative text is somewhat disappointing. Many of the stories, if not all, seem to be left in suspense, but fail to give a true sense of mystery or legendary, if that was the intention.. Overall, I did not dislike it, but just for the experience of this exhibition type, I would not do it again and I will not reccomend it to my friend.

Perfect to understand a little about the history of Porto. - We went as soon as we arrived and it served as an introduction. To personal taste, it was necessary to be able to walk through different rooms and be able to experience greater immersion. You simply enter a room with music and projections.

It promises more than it is - The idea is quite cool but in the end they are still projections on the walls and part of the ceiling. It's cool that you learn a little about the history of Porto but as an immersive experience it leaves a lot to be desired.
