A unique way to see the city!

Emily_P, Sep 2024

The Dublin True Crime Tour was a thrilling experience, made even better by the small group size. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely interested in getting to know each of us, making the experience feel personal and engaging. He expertly told chilling tales of notorious crimes, unsolved mysteries, and historic executions, bringing Dublin's dark history to life. With well-paced stops at key landmarks, the tour offered a fascinating glimpse into the city’s criminal past. Perfect for true crime fans seeking a more personal, interactive experience. Highly recommended!

Missed the mark

Sadly, I felt our tour guide was not feeling in the best of health, which was unfortunate. Also, I anticipated hearing about mayhem, murders and poisonings that occurred in the Victorian era — not contemporary. Maybe I misread the tour description.

Disappointing

Esme_F, Sep 2024

I was disappointed, the tour guide seemed distracted and confused, he would start to tell a story, then say that he had forgotten a piece of the story, making it disjointed. I found that he chatted into his chest making it difficult to understand.

Grim, true crime adventure!

The overall tour was small as it was off season, but it was a lot of fun. Good stories, a friendly tour guide who answered all the questions, and the weather held!

Highly entertaining

Our guide had us enthralled with his stories. It was a beautiful walk around town. We learnt so much at each of the sites. It was good fun ! Would definitely recommend
