Overview

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.
