What you actually do

The Dark Side of Porto: Ghosts, Crimes & Legends Walking Tour is a 1.5-hour guided walk from Stories of the Ghost. It starts in Porto and runs in English. The subject is ghosts, crimes and legends, and the format is a short, dark-theme introduction to the city for travelers who want that focus.

What you pay, and what is extra

Prices start at 9 EUR. In its Porto walking tours group, that sits at the bottom of the 9 to 149 EUR range. Food is not included, and hotel pickup is not included. That places it in a minority: among the group of 43 listings, only 13 others say food is excluded, and only 11 others say hotel pickup is excluded.

Free cancellation is offered.

The order follows how many reviews each has, never the commission, and each column comes from the same fields, so the comparison holds.

How far to trust the rating

The tour has a 4.3 rating from 12 reviews. In the Porto walking tours category of 44 listings, it ranks 40th by number of reviews. The score itself is positive, but 12 ratings is a thin base, so treat the 4.3 as a limited signal rather than a well-established result.

With so few reviews, the rank tells you more about the evidence than the score does. A 4.3 from a larger review base would be stronger; here, the number of ratings is the main caveat.

The best time to go

The monthly chart matters less here because the walk is short, so you are outside for a brief window rather than a full day. July and August reach highs of 25 °C and 26 °C, with lows of 16 °C. January highs are 14 °C, with lows of 5 °C.

In summer the short duration limits heat exposure; in winter the temperatures are lower for the time you are out. You can plan around a single short stretch of weather rather than a full afternoon.

What happens on the day

At the start, the group sets off on foot, and you stay with the group for the walk. Weather affects a walking tour directly: if it rains or is hot, you are outside for the duration. Because the route is short, you are not committing to a full day outdoors.

Who this suits, and who it doesn't

This suits you if you want a short walking tour with a dark theme in Porto. It does not suit you if you want a longer route or a food-and-wine format. For a longer historical walk, the Porto: Historical Center Walking Tour runs 3 hours from 24 € and has 4.8 from 903 ratings.

If food and wine matter more, the Porto: Delicious Food and Wine Walking Tour runs 3 to 4 hours from 73 € and has 4.8 from 1,210 ratings. If you want a themed walk with a larger review base, the Porto: Harry Potter and City of Porto Guided Walking Tour runs 2.5 hours from 32 € and has 4.9 from 534 ratings.
