What you can expect

  • Our journey begins at the gates of Dublin Castle, where beneath the architecture lies a brutal past of punishment and fear. Discover the tools of torture once used here, hear about priest hunters, and learn why the Upper Courtyard earned the nickname the Devil’s Half Acre. This Dublin walking tour starts with gruesome stories, torture tales and stories that most visitors never hear about when visiting Ireland.

    Venturing deeper into the old city, we enter an area once known as Hell. We explore Dublin’s world of brothels, witches, dark rituals and the infamous Hellfire Club.
    We explore a strange side of Dublin, uncovering sites of murder, serial killers and well-known Dublin characters that shaped the capital's history.

    This walking tour of Dublin offers a unique way to explore the city’s history through its cobbled streets and churches. Ideal for people looking for dark history and an authentic local experience.
