Dublin Mythology and Folklore Tour with Irish Stories and Legends
Description
This tour is unlike any other in the city; an exploration of Ireland's rich tradition of storytelling, and how those stories have changed the curve of Irish History, shaped the nation, and made Dublin the wonderful city it is. In Ireland, storytelling is more than just a pastime - it's a high art form that has changed the very course of history itself.

Alan was an incredibly tour guide! My husband and I loved learning about Ireland through the art of storytelling. We loved hearing the interconnectedness about old Irish stories and myths with more modern times and strife.
Very nice history and mythology highlights! Alan is a Very talented guide
Emily was a wonderful tour guide. She explained a lot of history at a good pace and told ancient lore in a great way.
It is a very entertaining tour, though the busy streets made it difficult to hear our guide, Emily, she still made it a very fun experience! She was knowledgeable and funny! The whole family enjoyed this tour!
Come ready to suspend belief and enjoy the wonderful stories incorporating history and legends told by wonderful tour guides.
Had a lovely tour with Ross, who cheerfully guided us through this city. He’s a great storyteller and knows a lot about the subject. He’s spontaneous and interacts well with the group. We definitely learned a lot today.
The end location of the tour wasn’t accurate but the tour guide was very knowledgable and had a great fun storytelling style. Very entertaining!
