A 2-hour haunted history walk through Dublin’s Northside, with Darkey Kelly, Hellfire sites, and a finish at the Brazen Head.
“It was terrible. Only 2 ghosts mentioned, 1 that put old coins into the the hands of sleeping homeless people and a poltergeist, but no stories. The rest of the time it was a left wing poticical attack on the British and Donald Trump. He said he had a masters degree in? But if you took away You know and All that stuff from his script, there would not be much left. He showed up late and didn't check who the guests were. He even mentioned that a lot of people left before the end. Viator obviously do not check the quality of the guides or their scripts anymore!”

“i Always try to do some walking tour with local guides when i visit a Place, this one in particular was very interesting, you get to learn some Dublin history and curiousities (not only of the macabre kind) which you would have never probably heard of, and it's narrated by a guy (peter in our case) who is clearly very passionate and competent and manages to transport you in these stories across time. He was very engaging and also very clear. Thank you, would absolutely recommend!”

A private, clue-solving Dublin ghost hunt walking game with audio narration, flexible start times, and stops at major landmarks ending on the Liffey.
“The tour was a good way to guide us around the city however once we got the answer to the clue we would get frustrated with the exactness the game required for the answer to be taken as correct. If one letter wasn’t capitalized or it wasn’t written in the format the game wanted it would be incorrect. We didn’t even get to finish the tour because at one point we used two hints to ensure we were right about the clue and we copied the sign verbatim and it still would not accept our answer.”
Dublin at night with legends and ghost tales, stopping at Molly Malone, St Stephen's Green, and the Shelbourne, led in a small group.
“This is more of a legends an history tour. We expected to hear more ghosts stories, see cemeteries not the stuff we already saw walking around dublin. Our tour guide was amazing an very animated an loves to tell the stories. Just not what we expected nor wanted. If you want to k ow history or dublin yes do it he was very knowledgeable. If you want something spooky no.”
