From€17
2 hours
Dublin, Ireland

Full description

This is a 2-hour walking tour where we explore the lesser-known streets of the old city centre whilst describing the more gruesome parts of the history of Dublin. On this Macabre tour you will discover a more sinister side to the history of our city and hear stories of torture, executions and serial killers. From the heart of the city outside the GPO we head west through the previous Viking and medieval areas of the north inner city before crossing the river and finishing in one of the oldest parts of the city beside Christchurch and Temple Bar.

It was worth it

Martin was a great tour guide. We all had a lot of fun. There was a lot of Irish humor.

Great macabre walking Tour through Dublin!

We had an absolutly wonderful Tour with the lovely Jack Redmond, who was very knowledgable and fun. The Tour was very interesting, unique and showed us, who barely knew anything about Dublin at all, a fascinating side of the City with many historical facts and wonderfully spooky anecdotes! Highly recommend the Tour and Jack as a guide!

Things you don’t see on any other tour

This tour took us places we’d not seen anywhere else. And We LOVED Rob! He was an amazing tour guide…. Very informative, funny and engaging.

Good tour, unusual route

We paid in advance for the ghostly and macabre tour, and were met by a freindly guide at the spire. Rob showed us around several areas on the North side of Dublin, stopping at multiple interesting points of interest. It was a good tour overall, and didn’t overlap with a previous walking tour content of the city however the guide ‘Rob’ was not as engaging as others had been. We felt that the route was quite unusual, almost like we were being led around a run down area of the city with stories made to fit.

Entertaining and Educational!

Peter was a fantastic guide for our macabre tour of Dublin! He was so animated, personable and knowledgeable. Whatever question was asked of him, he was able to answer with great authority. It is clear that he loves Dublin, its history and the people visiting. Thank you Peter!
