A tad disappointing. My friend and I expected more theatrics and more ghost stories spread across the city, but it was more of an awkward experience stopping at roughly 3-4 side streets to discuss true crime. Not that exciting. Tour guide knew a lot considering he is a history teacher. Maybe more worth it if it were $10-$15 cheaper. I recommend looking into other haunted tours and setting proper expectations.

I took this tour with a group of friends and we loved hearing the different ghost-y stories. We covered a good amount of ground and the stories were very interesting. My favorite section was the portion regarding lepers at the castle gates.

5 stars! I don't like kitschy ghost tours that don't take the paranormal seriously. This was not that. Good job!

Emma was great! She is a great story teller and engaging. She gathered everyone and was on time. She took her time walking so everyone was able to keep up. Her stories were entertaining and she really knew the information! It was a great tour.

Kate led us on an incredibly insightful dark insightful tour of the south side of Dublin. A well measured delivery with deep historical context, and of course, plenty of humour along the way. Highly recommend.

Short walks, interasting stories. Most importantly, my guide, Lydia, is a gifted story teller, very personable. Expirance made my trip!

Great tour, lots of interesting stories, tour guide presented well. Clear and loud. He included tour members, and would tell a story again for those not as fast walking as he was.

Had a great time on this tour. Loved the weird facts and dark stories! We especially liked that this tour was a little later so as it got darker the stories had some extra creepiness to them.
Breanna_P, Mar 2024
Overall the tour was absolutely amazing! I really liked looking at the old churches and alleyways. Finn (our tour guide) did an amazing job at answering questions and being thorough with the history of Dublin. Definitely will go on this tour again in the future :)

Walk was very short, the explanation was to many times on very busy roads, so we couldn’t hear the guide al the time.
Chinmay_K, Jan 2024
The guide gave a lot of information and was very well informed about the topic. However considering it was a haunted history tour it could have been a bit more dramatic or entertaining in the presentation rather than simply giving a lecture about the content. Maybe showing photos or drawings of paranormal activities. Otherwise it was an interesting experience.

An interesting and entertaining way to spend a couple of hours in the evening. The tour included plenty of tales and took us to places we wouldn’t have visited otherwise.
Chris_P, Oct 2023
It was terrible.
Only 2 ghosts mentioned, 1 that put old coins into the the hands of sleeping homeless people and a poltergeist, but no stories.
The rest of the time it was a left wing poticical attack on the British and Donald Trump.
He said he had a masters degree in? But if you took away You know and All that stuff from his script, there would not be much left.
He showed up late and didn't check who the guests were.
He even mentioned that a lot of people left before the end.
Viator obviously do not check the quality of the guides or their scripts anymore!

Was not where app said they would be to meet. Then due to uncontrollable circumstances tour guide couldn’t reach me by phone but could by email. Tried to tell the operator where we were no response then he offered to book another tour. Gave him 2 options and told he couldn’t help. Apparently a fraud. I booked the day of the tour and guide tried to say I didn’t contact them before hand but I couldn’t. I did contact while we were looking for the tour group

Excellent history tour, lots of information on Ireland/north Ireland history. Not a ghost/haunted tour at all.

Katie was an amazing tour guide. The tour is a great balance of both stories about Dublin’s history and ghost stories. I really enjoyed learning about the pubs I’ve been to, and about Dublin Castle.

Lea, our guide and her company were excellent. Didn’t realise Dublin had so many dark secrets. Got taken to places I wouldn’t have thought about going to. Top Marks, keep up the good work

Our guide did a great job sharing stories of the history and ghosts of Dublin. He was very funny and a great storyteller. Enjoyed by my whole family ranging in age from 18 to 72.

We attended the Haunted walk in October, it was very interesting. Not a lot a horror stories, but more history.
judith p, Oct 2017
The tour was boring. There was nothing scary about it. It was more a tour of facts then history and the guide had a fact wrong.
