This was a great experience, our guide was excellent storyteller and she was very enthusiastic during the whole tour, love it! I got goosebumps three times, because I got absorbed into the story. Definitely recommend!

Description
Ireland has a unique relationship with its legendary past. Kept alive in the histories of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s gods were not destroyed but - in the words of Mark Williams - demoted to lesser beings. On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The mysteries and the macabre all combining into the secret esoteric orders that strove to unlock the secrets of existence. Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings… TOPICS - Maud Gonne & WB Yeats - The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn - Huguenot Cemetery - The Ghost of the Shelbourne - St. Stephen’s Green’s Grizzly History - Bram Stoker - Graverobbers - Darkey Kelly - Dublin’s House of Horrors - Tenements - Justice in Dublin

Me and my friends found the tour on a whim and thought it would be a cool thing to do - different way of learning about the city, right? Our tour guide, Elisa, is a very nice, lovely and super friendly lady who I enjoyed listening to very much! She did an amazing job at telling us these really interesting stories about Irish legends and ghouls while showing us around Dublin. I will definitely remember this and recommend it to others!
Quite eventful tour with great storytelling! Definitely worth a try !
Elisa was an amazing tour guide! she was so fun to be around and the tour was very informative, i can recommend it wholeheartedly!
Elisa is a seasoned and funny storyteller, we spend 2 hours walking around with her, giggling and gagging about Dublin horror stories. Highly recommend!
Very interesting tour. BEginning with the Story of Yeats. Quite alot of walking, obviously. Liam was knowledgeable and engaging without being OTT. He did talk while walking at a reasonable pace and it was impossible to hear what he was talking about at those times...headphone or microphone would have assisted with that. After a long day on our feet it was a little challenging but obviously we expected that as the information on the tour was very clear. thanks for a fun night. Great value.
It was fantastic!! Elisa was a great storyteller, I enjoyed all the stories.
Great tour with Elisa!! Very interesting
Elisa was an incredible guide and was wonderfully warm and funny, and very knowledgeable about the history and legends she mentioned.
The tour was incredible! Liam was a fantastic tour guide who was both fun and engaging. He was a wealth of knowledge and maintained a perfect mix of spooky stories and interesting facts. It was a great way to explore the area and gain a new perspective on some well known sights. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning some darker Dublin history.
Thanks so much for the kind review! So glad that you enjoyed the tour and we'll pass your lovely words onto Liam!
