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.

Very good tour, Ciaran was a great guide, very informative, a real history lesson on Dublin's gory past - I would certainly recommend it... BUT... Ciaran is a 'brisk walker' to say the least and there were times where we felt Mo Farrah may have been a bit wheezy keeping up. Lots of cobbled streets, one steep hill, traffic lights that don't stay red for long when crossing (which I know isn't Ciaran's fault) but I do think he could have waited for all the party to catch up before talking about the next stop! Two of the party departed midway through the walk and no one noticed until the end. But I can confirm they wandered off and didn't die of exhaustion! Do go, but be prepared!

Ciarán was a great tour Guide! His way of presenting history made it very interesting to listen. You could tell he had a lot of knowledge about the town.

A wonderful guide, plus the tour guide was an excellent fellow! Ciaran seemed to know every thing about dublin there was to know. The spooky stories were frightening but still enjoyable. An overall fun evening!
