"Fantastically Dark" - TripAdvisor
"Walking the streets and learning the history of the ground we were standing on was just incredible. The tour guide kept us well entertained with the stories of the area."
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.

"We did the Dark Dublin tour with Ciaran and it was SPOOKY! I had chills, my sister was wide eyed and my mom was nauseous from the stories about torture. 15/10 recommend if you are looking for some dark, messed up and TRUE crime tales of Dublin and it’s creepy underbelly"
