Additional Information

Ireland maintains a special connection with its mythical past. Preserved through the tales of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s deities were not eradicated but, as Mark Williams puts it, relegated to lesser entities.
In contrast, Irish history also features the ballrooms, salons, and private studies of Dublin’s literary elite. Here, the enigmatic…

Ghosts and spirits of Dublin, hold on tight! - Superb tour of Dublin by night! The stories are very interesting, even frightening for those who really get into the game. Carole was able to take us through the history of Ireland into the ghosts of the past. Be careful, however: those who don't speak English well will have to hold on to understand all the subtleties of the stories. Our guide, however, knew how to adapt to his audience. I recommend for those who like this kind of experience!

Take a history walking tour - Sean attempted to make it a theatrical experience. Most of the stories felt embellished. Dodging all the people in Dublin centre was very distracting. The shelbourne ghost story is similar to so many story’s all over the world. We were hoping for more in such a historic city.

Read review - 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.

Wide view of Dublin but not our cup of tea - I can't remember our tour guide's name, but he was a little too wandering for us. The 1 1/2 hour tour went 2 1/2 hours - which I wouldn't have minded if I was more engaged. He was incredibly knowledgeable, charming, enthusiastic, full of great stories and quirky. However, we all had a tough time following his timeline - he'd start a story in one century and finish in another - we had a tough time figuring out what he was talking about (somehow he always got back to the original story, sometimes after 10 minutes or so). He also had a habit of talking while walking - which wouldn't be too bad, but he was often facing forward, away from us. He stopped doing that after we asked him not to. If you want something a little more focused that follows a clear path and sticks to the time schedule - probably not for you. If you don't mind wandering the streets with someone who knows a lot who you can ask lots of questions that he probably can answer - you might like it.
