Explore Dublin’s gruesome stories of murder, torture, cannibalism, grave robbing, brothels, proposals to eat young children, unearthly worship and much more! 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.

I attended this tour a few days ago with Kim as our guide. She was very engaging and knowledgeable about the history of all the places we visited, which gave me a better appreciation. She ensured our questions were answered. In the beginning, she mentioned that the ~2 hours of the tour would pass by in a blink of an eye & she was not wrong. We also had great weather, which definitely helped. She came prepared with photos in a binder to illustrate some …stories. Would definitely consider booking again with this group in the future.

Had a wonderful experience with McKayla (not sure how it’s spelled!). She was very knowledgeable and a great story teller.

Interesting. Learned a lot about Dublin’s past in both Viking and church lore. Walked about 2 miles in total. A couple of suggestions though.. a bathroom break would be nice; understand it’s a walking tour but expected to actually gain access to a few places and see some dungeons and/or ancient devices. In one sense a perfect tour as advertised and yet left a bit to be desired.
