Haunted Dublin Walking Tour
Description
We begin our journey through the darker side of Dublin's storied history in the midst of the famous Temple Bar, before plunging into the dark heart of the old medieval city. On our ghoulish adventure through the city, we'll venture down cobbled lanes and alleyways, getting to the lesser-seen sides of some of Dublin's most famous landmarks, as well as uncover some of the city's best kept secrets, and forgotten corners. Just some of the ghastly things we'll cover on the tour are: - Bram Stoker's Dublin & some of the real-life inspirations for Dracula - Horrifying medieval crime & punishment - Grave robbing & body snatching - The banshee & the dark side of Irish mythology - Hell & The Hellfire Club - Witchcraft in Irish History - Serial Killers, Poltergeists, Headless Horsemen, & much more. . . We love Dublin, and we love showing people around Dublin. This tour is a lot of fun, whether you're interested in the chilling side of Irish History, or just want a unique way to see the city.

Itinerary
We meet in the heart of Dublin's famous Temple Bar
We'll visit the famous Dublin Castle; notorious and feared home of imperial rule for centuries in Ireland and one time workplace of one of the greatest gothic horror writers in History; Bram Stoker.
Famous victorian music hall and beloved concert venue
The Oldest Theatre in Ireland
In the heavenly shade of Dublin's oldest Cathedral once stood a sordid warren of streets known locally as 'Hell'. Playground to the rich and powerful, home of brothels and booze-houses. Here we'll meet some of the characters of this raucous (and at times violent) neighbourhood, including some who's ghoulish presence is still reputedly felt around the streets to this day.
St. Patrick's Cathedral is named after Ireland's patron saint, but it has seen more than it's fair share of sinners over the years. Here we'll hear about some of the ghostly goings on at nearby Marsh's Library, as well as hear stories from the Liberties, and the notorious 'four corners of Hell'.
Oldest public library in Irelands, nestled in the shadow of St. Patrick's Cathedral
The ruins of an old church graveyard, hidden down a dark laneway, right in the centre of the city.
One of the garrisons of the 1916 Easter Rising, flanking the west side of St Stephen's Green Park.
The most famous of Dublin's great Georgian Squares, we will visit this famous old park towards the end of our tour

We loved Lee! He was absolutely engaging, funny, smart and performative . Very good tour guide and fun activity.
Our tour guide Deirdre was both knowledgeable and entertaining as we walk-through the more gruesome aspects of Dublin’s history. The tour was fun and enjoyable and we highly recommend the tour guide Deirdre.
Deirdre knew the history and stories so well we’re walking. It made the tour come alive. I think that was the way we can
Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide. Deirdre was a wealth of knowledge who spoke with a lot of love for her hometown’s history. I could’ve listened to her stories all night!
Deidre had us hooked from minute one (under the jaw, stealing our corpses…). Unable to tell a bad story, she made two hours disappear in a blink and a grimace. Her stories are worth every penny, her humour and good spirit are heartwarming, and we shall book again next time in Dublin !
Brilliant tour fantastic work from Deirdre.
Deidre was a phenomenal guide; richly entertaining and highly informative. First class!
Deirdre was amazing!!! Very knowledgeable and fun!!
Great tour, great information. Defo gave us plenty to talk about. Might have been more scary in the dark. Meeting place not well marked but tour guides were there early. Great evening. Took 2.5hrs
Deidre was super funny and welcoming!
