We begin our journey through the darker side of Dublin's storied history in the midst of the famous Temple Bar, before plunging into the dark heart of the old medieval city.
On our ghoulish adventure through the city, we'll venture down cobbled lanes and alleyways, getting to the lesser-seen sides of some of Dublin's most famous landmarks, as well as uncover some of the city's best kept secrets, and forgotten corners.
Just some of the ghastly things we'll cover on the tour are:
- Bram Stoker's Dublin & some of the real-life inspirations for Dracula
- Horrifying medieval crime & punishment
- Grave robbing & body snatching
- The banshee & the dark side of Irish mythology
- Hell & The Hellfire Club
- Witchcraft in Irish History
- Serial Killers, Poltergeists, Headless Horsemen, & much more. . .
We love Dublin, and we love showing people around Dublin. This tour is a lot of fun, whether you're interested in the chilling side of Irish History, or just want a unique way to see the city.

Lee was so knowledgeable about Dublin and Irish history. But he was also very entertaining and engaging. We really got a sense of the people now haunting the sites of Dublin.

Deirdra was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable about Dublin and Irish history. She is a local and her love of Dublin and Ireland was apparent as she told us many ghost stories and legends of the area. We learned a lot about Ireland and its folklore while walking through the historic city. It is a lot of walking, but it was definitely worth it!

Spooky, Fun, and Full of Fascinating History! We had an absolute blast on this walking ghost tour through historic Dublin! From the cobbled streets of Temple Bar to the hauntingly beautiful grounds of St. Stephen’s Green, every stop was packed with eerie tales and fascinating insights. Our guide, Deirdre, was phenomenal — super knowledgeable, engaging, and full of personality. She really brought Dublin’s dark past to life with stories of ghostly goings-on, grave robbing, witchcraft, and the city’s gothic connections like Bram Stoker. The tour included stops at iconic sites like Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral, and Marsh’s Library, and even lesser-known but atmospheric places like St. Kevin’s Park. Despite the rainy weather, the walk was smooth, enjoyable, and well-paced. My son learned so much about the city’s history and had a great time — this tour is perfect for history buffs, horror fans, or anyone who loves a good scare! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Dublin who wants to see a different, spookier side of the city.
