Cardiff Private Dark History Tour
Beskrivning
Cardiff Dark Side Tour visar dig den andra sidan av den walesiska huvudstaden. Cardiff är en stad känd för sitt slott och sin rugbystadion, byggd på framgångarna från familjen Bute och kolexportindustrin. Den har dock en mörkare kant som man inte ser idag, en av hängningar, avrättningar, gravplatser och sjukdomar, till exempel. Även de mest ofarliga platserna i centrala Cardiff som vi går förbi varje dag kan ha varit platsen för avrättning eller slum.

Resplan
Vi börjar mitt på moderna Cardiffs mest centrala gata. Idag är det ett exklusivt shoppingområde, men historiskt sett spred sig Cardiffs ökända bostadsrätter ut från denna gata, liksom sjukdomar.
Medan det är ett stort varuhus idag, har platsen historiskt sett varit platsen för ett kapell, såväl som en avrättningsplats.
Cardiff Central Market är hjärtat och själen i det dagliga stadslivet idag. Det finns en lång historia av marknader i Cardiff, men den nuvarande inkarnationen är ökända för mer än det verkar.
Womanby är ett sällsynt exempel på en gata med nordiskt namn i den walesiska huvudstaden, så den går tillbaka till 1 000 år. På den tiden har denna gata varit synonymt med invandring, prostitution, kriminalitet och slumkvarter.
Cardiff Castle är centrum i staden och den äldsta byggnaden i Cardiff. Det fungerar som både den mest hemsökta byggnaden i staden och har tidigare fungerat som huvudfängelset i staden.
Cardiffs näst äldsta byggnad, den har varit en centrum i staden genom hela dess historia, förknippad med hemsök, kyrkogårdar och mycket mer.

With 5 friends, we all love history and discovering a new city. So this guided tour was perfect for us. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Really recommend
Eugene is a gentleman and a scholar. He continued with the tour even though there were only 4 of us. It was funny, interesting and slightly spooky!!
Eugene was excellent, took a group of 7 of us who live in Cardiff around the city and we all learned a lot about Cardiffs history that wed never heard about before. would recommend
Really great guide & a very interesting tour to learn more about our home town. Thoroughly recommended.

We had a private tour booked for us in Cardiff. This tour has something for everyone, including the history of Cardiff and some of the more dark side, ghosts, murders etc.
Hi Steve, Thanks for the nice review. I'm glad you both enjoyed it and I hope you enjoyed your time in Cardiff. Eugene
Organised and funded by City of Arcades week, 2022. Despite the heavens opening for most of the tour the guides delivery of the tour over came this. Have lived here for over 20 years, I still discovered new facts, tales and the darker history of Cardiff. Great tour for anyone looking for for more than just a history lesson.

Had a great tour of Cardiff After Dark as part of the City of Arcades week, 2022. LOTS of gory, gruesome (and of course sometimes sad) details of Cardiff's darker past. Despite the rain, sometimes constant, Eugene kept his enthusiasm up the entire time. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend to others! Thank you.
