Dark Dublin Tour
Discover the dark and creepy side of Dublin and unearth some hidden history! Explore Dublin’s gruesome stories of murder, torture, cannibalism, grave robbing, brothels, proposals to eat young children, unearthly worship and much more!
Things to do Dark Dublin Tour
We start our journey at Dublin Castle, where we will explore the torture of the past, speak of priest hunters and unearth why the upper courtyard was nicknamed the Devil’s Half Acre, but behind the beautiful architecture is a brutal past. From here we’ll take the side streets to hear stories of cannibalism and of proposals to eat babies. As we delve further into Dublin’s dark past, we’ll enter an area once known as Hell. Uncover stories of brothels, witches, and the infamous Hellfire Club. Passing by the old city walls, we’ll learn of grave robbing, The Black Pig, and finish with the very unusual case of a strangler and killer with no legs. Join us on this 2-hour walking tour as we weave our way through the city streets and back alleys to uncover Dublin’s Dark past.

“Great Dark Dublin Tour”
Just did the Dark Dublin tour with my family. Being from Dublin it was great to hear about the historical darker and twisted side of the capital. Our guide Stephen was brilliant, very engaging and funny. He had the tour in stitches at times. Highly recommend this tour if you want something a bit different in Dublin. Well priced for what you get!

I went on this tour with Killian. My mum and I really enjoyed both the concept and our guide, who was both very knowledgeable and funny. A great way to get to know about the culture!! P.S. To Killian, I really think you should include the Bojo example when talking about people having parties during work hours ;-)
