Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin

From€14

2 hours

Dublin, Ireland

Full 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

Great tour

We had an incredible experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Elisa! She was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and kept everyone engaged from start to finish. The overall pacing was great. If you go, definitely try to book a slot with Elisa if you can. Highly recommend! Excellent choice of locations that felt isolated from the bustling modern city just a block away

Lively legends, gutsy ghosts and ghouls galore

Elisa was our tour guide and she was phenomenal. The tour starts around Merrion Square and ends just near Dublin Castle. All the stories and legends alike were incredible; Elisa’s storytelling is incredibly engaging and interactive. She made every story more interesting than the last. Despite the tour being two hours, time genuinely just flies by; it doesn’t feel like you’ve been walking long at all. The atmosphere was super chill, and very back-and-forth which was great. It was an informal and laidback tour where you could really connect and talk about the stories. I was lucky enough to be part of a small group of just myself and another person, which made for an even more interactive tour. Just an awesome experience overall, 100% would recommend and definitely hoping to go again!

Legendary guide, great experience and goosebumps

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!

10/10 experience

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!
