Off the Beaten Path Hidden Gem
This was an absolute hidden gem. Such a different walking tour filled with tales although horrific of the past. Kieran made all the difference. He is a gifted storyteller who makes you compelled to listen to every word. Who knew two hours could fly by so fast. Again it was the guide/owner of the company who made all the difference. As described it more gothic and alternative in nature. Thanks for a great early evening. Definitely recommended. Such a positive alternative to a typical ghost tour. Only wondered why we started so early.
Entertaining!
Fun and entertaining tour taking you to parts of Dublin we wouldn't have seen. A good mix of more detail about stories we knew and some totally new ones. Certainly gory and told with enthusiasm and vigour by our tour guide Ciaran.
An Amazing Tour
Kim was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! She was engaging, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable, and she did an amazing job bringing Dublin’s darker history to life. Her storytelling kept us fascinated from beginning to end, and you could tell how passionate she was about the city and its history. We are SO glad we booked this tour! It was one of the highlights of our time in Dublin, and we would highly recommend Kim and this tour to anyone looking for a fun, fascinating, and memorable experience. Don’t miss it!
Awesome dark history tour!
This was exactly what I had hoped - not a ghost tour, but a dark history tour. Killian was a great guide and the time flew by. Our favorite stories were Darkie Kelly and Billy in the Bowl. This is not a tour for children. I say this because a group brought an 8/9 year old. Killian warned several times about the tour contents, but they insisted it was okay. They ended up walking her away during several stories and then all together leaving.
Killian was fantastic.
Killian was our tour guide, he's an absolutely fantastic story teller, funny and handsome to boot. Don't believe me? Just ask him yourself lol. Would definitely recommend him, felt it was well worth the time and money. Thanks Killian, fantastic job mate.
