Truly outstanding. Educational and fun. Ross was a cut second to none and I would recommend This tour to anyone
Caleb_A, May 2026
Tour was great! Ciarán was very entertaining, appreciate him filling in on his day off for such a big group.

About 2h, easy walk through the city, funny guide, educational. Would recommend. You learn a lot of history, if ghosts aren’t your thing.
Elizabeth_C, May 2026
Great tour and a wonderful guide, Lee.
Lee was a great story teller, sharing all the ghost stories along with humor! We had a great time!

A great trip around some parts of Dublin that you may or may not go to. Ross was our guide and he told some great stories about the secrets of Dublin that are not well known. He had a great sense of theatre and the walking isn't that hard. Would recommend but don't expect to actually see ghosts, but if you do I don't know if that means you are lucky or not.
Jess_D, May 2026
We really enjoyed this haunted walking tour. The stories were fun and engaging, and we especially loved that so much of the experience involved walking around and seeing different parts of the area while hearing the history and ghost stories connected to each stop.
The only part I wasn’t a big fan of was the ghost story at the theatre. We were told about a little boy who supposedly haunts the property, and when I asked if the guide knew how the child died, he said no. However, he then suggested I look it up on YouTube. Since we were paying for a guided tour centered around these stories, I felt like the guide should have been more familiar with the background of the ghosts being discussed.
Overall, it was still a fun experience with great stories and a nice walking route.

I knew I signed up for a walking ghost tour, but apparently, Dublin defines “walking” as training for a Viking pilgrimage. 😅
The guide was a great storyteller, and some of the stories were genuinely interesting, but 2.5 hours of nonstop walking through crowded cobblestone streets was a LOT. At one point we walked completely around a giant building in a circle for the pig story, when a quick trip down the alley probably would’ve done the trick. By the end, this chubby American tourist was seeing spirits without any paranormal assistance. The real horror was realizing we still had more walking left.
My biggest issue was how hard it was to follow the guide in crowds. He carried a green umbrella to identify himself, but kept it closed and held it over his head like a decorative spear. Opening it would have made him MUCH easier to spot, and I’m pretty sure several people got separated along the way.
The tour also ended far from where it started, outside a medical building in another part of the city, and we got pretty lost trying to find our way back afterward.
Overall: great stories and good atmosphere, but my calves are now officially part of Irish folklore. If you have mobility issues, hate endless walking, or aren’t prepared for Ghost Tour: Endurance Edition™, this may not be the haunting for you. 👻
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi there, I’m sorry to see that you felt it fit to only give this tour 2 stars. We genuinely don’t want anybody to come away from a tour with us feeling like they had anything other than an amazing experience. I do however, think you are being very unfair. I don’t really understand your reasoning for 2 stars. You said yourself, the guide was a great storyteller, the stories were interesting, the fact that the walk was too much for you is in no way a reflection of our business. If we did less walking, people would complain that they didn’t see enough of the city; it’s literally called a walking tour. Dublin is a very small city, it’s easy to get around, and I’m sorry if this was too much for you but I don’t think that’s any reflection of the wonderful tour we’ve created here.
“The tour also ended far from where it started, outside a medical building in another part of the city, and we got pretty lost trying to find our way back afterward.”
The tour started on Crown Alley, our meeting point, and ended outside the Royal College of Surgeons to talk about Body snatchers in the 19th century. “Outside a medical building in another part of the city” is very disingenuous. It’s a historical building and it’s on St Stephens Green. That’s an 11 minute walk from where you started. It’s right in the centre of town. It’s literally on the product page where you booked, where the tour starts and ends.
If crowds are crazy, we encourage guides to open their umbrellas to be more visible; it’s at the guides discretion. I have no reports of anybody losing the guide on the night in question, and I have a lot of great feedback for this particular tour, too from the other guests. Did you at any point say to your guide that you were having trouble seeing him and that you would like him to open his umbrella? If you did not, then why do you feel so comfortable complaining about it in a review? I would ask you to reflect on this review, and ask yourself honestly, does this business deserve a 2 star review, or was this tour just not suitable for me personally?

The tour was so fascinating! Our guide, Ciaran, was funny and very informative about Dublin’s dark history of ghosts and executions. My favorite part was learning how Bram Stoker got his inspiration for writing Dracula during his life. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves horror and to learn more about Dublin’s history.
Meredith_R, May 2026
ciarán was an amazing guide! very funny and knowledgeable and showed us some great spots . would recommend
Stephen_T, May 2026
Our tour guide was awesome weaving history and folklore into an evocative story and tour. His knowledge of Dublin and Irish history was masterful.
Margaret_W, May 2026
Highly recommend this tour with detailed description of past Dublin history. Very informative tour and entertaining as well!
Katie_S, May 2026
I usually like to end a trip to a new city with a ghost tour, but after the one we took with Ross in Dublin, I totally regret not doing it earlier in our stay! Not only did Ross give us great ghost stories, he shared recs for places to eat and explore while in town too. I loved the way he wove in Irish folklore into his stories as well- I’ll never look at a hair comb on the ground the same way again. IYKYK.
Casi_B, May 2026
Deirdre was a great time, she had lots of fun stories! This tour was a great way to see the sights of Dublin.

Our guide Ross was great. We were in a large group and he was great at waiting for all to be together before he started to speak.
Diana_T, Apr 2026
It is a good deal of walking but well worth it. There is so much history to be learned! Our guide, Ross, was excellent and very entertaining.

A wonderful way to hear stories of the past and stroll around looking at the sites. Ciaran was our guide and made the whole experience fun with his humour and great Irish wit. Would highly recommend this tour to all tourists in Dublin.
Kathleen_P, Apr 2026
As an older person it was a pretty brisk walk. Ciaran was entertaining and interesting but this tour was not really my cup of tea.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Sally_P, Apr 2026
Extremely informative. The stories were fascinating and told with passion. Deidre was absolutely brilliant. Not only was her knowledge of a high standard, Deidre kept everybody's attention with her sense of humour and unique storytelling techniques. Loved this tour.
Justin_A, Apr 2026
Kieran (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
Mary_R, Apr 2026
Ciaran was great, funny and informative. We thought we would see inside buildings, but we still had fun.
Alicia_H, Apr 2026
We took this tour with our family and everyone loved it, from teenagers to grandma. Deidre was so entertaining and we learned quite a bit of Dublin and Irish history along with all of the spooky stuff. Great way to see part of the city. Highly recommend .
