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.

5.00I had such a great time on this walking tour in Dublin – Ross was absolutely amazing. Super friendly, fun, and really personable, he made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable from the start. I loved learning about the haunted history of Dublin, and it never felt like a boring history lesson – he brought everything to life. There were plenty of stops along the way, which gave us a chance to properly explore and take everything in, rather than just rushing from place to place. Ross is a real credit to the company. His knowledge was superb and genuinely made me want to learn more afterwards, which is always a good sign. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting – I’d definitely do it again!

5.00Kieran (I probably spelled that wrong, sorry) is extremely knowledgeable about Dublin's history, and shared the darker lesser known side of Ireland's history - with a good sense of humor of course. He's also very personable and was curious about our lives as well. Very interesting, would do again
Fun tour

5.00We loved the tour! Our guide, Ross, was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. The stories he shared were interesting and gave us great insights into Irish history and culture. Even the two teenagers we had with us were entertained. Well worth the time and the money.
