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.

Michael was our guide and he was fantastic. He told the stories in a very enjoyable way and was very friendly. The only part that was difficult was sometime the pace was quite fast and we have a few in our group that do not walk so fast.

It was really cool and informative. You learned general history but also the history they don’t tell you about. Great tour. Have already recommended.

Keiron was very knowledgeable about the dark stories of Dublin. Very open to questions. Easy amount of waking with breaks in between. Would recommend if you want to learn a good mix of history and dark stories
