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!

Sunita_F, Jun 2023
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.
Jason_R, Jun 2023
We very much enjoyed the darker history of Dublin as it was presented in this tour. Our guide (so sorry we did not catch her name) was excellent and very knowledgeable! We highly recommend this tour.

Kawthar_A, Apr 2023
Don’t take this tour its a waste of time and its just telling stories that not even interested ironically no ghost stories were told only one or two and both of them is dull and the guide was the worst
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thankyou for your review we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy this tour ,
Breaking down what you wrote if no ghost stories was told , except for 1 or 2 then there was ghost stories told, and most definitely more mentioned as this tour is 1.5 hr long and our guides are pretty amazing , so we forgive you and think you were just having a bad day .

Our experience was very enjoyable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned more about Irish history than expected. Ghost stories were still very much the focus, but it was nice to get a grasp of the history of the buildings and areas we were shown

Callum was very friendly and knowledgeable. He wove his ghostly tales with interesting areas of Dublin. Not particularly scared. Note: it is a long walking tour. If you are at all tired from walking all day, you may want to save your energy. It was quite a long walk back to our hotel.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Hi Cynthia
our tour does say the walk is 1.5hr we are happy you enjoyed our tour.
we appreciate you 4* feed back

Tour was fun and informational and our guide was entertaining. I would’ve liked to visit more spots or heard more stories but I understand a walking tour has time/location restraints.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Jessica, thankyou for your 4star review we are happy you had a good experience with us and hope you get to visit one of our many other tours for more great dark and colourful history .
Saimanali_S, Jul 2022
Aisling was super smart and shared a lot of really interesting information. I think history buffs will get as much out of this as people with an affinity for the supernatural. Highly recommend doing this at the top of your trip so you can take advantage of some of the recommendations for spots to visit.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Saiman, thankyou so much for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are so delighted that you rated our tour 5stars..as we strive to provide just that for our customers.
Tracy_H, Mar 2020
We tried to call/email the tour to find out how we were going to be transported to the start location. They had said they would call us to give information but they never called and did not pick up phone or answer emails. This was during the shutdown of restaurants and bars but even after they did not respond to our requests. We were charged the full amount and they haven't responded to us as to a refund.
