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.

Such a fun way to learn about Dublin. Ciaran was an amazing guide and even among the dark tales, we learned a lot about the history of Ireland. My teenage kids LOVED it! I highly recommend this tour!

Steven was a fabulous guide. Just a great walk around historical areas with a bit of history that would not appear in books. Loved it!

This was an off, beat and amazingly entertaining experience. The guide – – I’m horrible with names, but he he worked for the national health service during the pandemic – – was knowledgeable, and even more importantly, passionate about his city and sharing it with us.
This is “history“ as you wish you would’ve learned it in high school.
