This was an amazing tour! We learned so much about the dark history of Dublin with a few stories about ghost sightings along the way! Our guide was incredible! He was friendly, very knowledgeable and was willing to expand on and answer anything we asked. (Not to mention a wonderful conversationalist along the way) I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a macabre history and a great time!

This guy, what can I say? He was knowledgeable (Masters’ in History yet!) and engaging and just a fun person to be around. The stories were intriguing and he genuinely seemed to enjoy talking about them. Highly recommended!

The tour was fair on the history of Dublin. It touched a bit on the ghosts but lacked the punch of a good 'ghost tour'
The banshees, fairies etc were left out.
