Learned about the “Macabre” history of Dublin in a fun and enjoyable tour. Our Guide literally wrote the tour..!

Great Tour

Dustin_W, Apr 2024
Great tour! Peter was knowledgeable about not only the macabre stories from Dublin and Greater Ireland, but the general history as well. It was a new tour, and just me, but Peter was professional and offered up tidbits about the area and recommendations throughout the tour.

Highly recommended!
