Overview

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.

Macabre Dublin Tour Review

Published on Jan, 2025

I took the Macabre Dublin Tour on December 27, 2024, and it was an unforgettable experience. The tour took us through the eerie streets of Dublin's old city, where we explored both sides of the river, hearing chilling tales about the darker aspects of the city's history. From the gruesome death of Cuchulainn, the legendary warrior, to the fascinating and macabre business of grave robbing in the 19th century, the stories were both disturbing and captivating. We even learned about mummified corpses, legless serial killers, and rats that devoured human remains. The highlight of the tour was Peter, our guide, who was exceptional. He didn't just recount facts; he skillfully dramatized each story, bringing the bloodier and more sinister parts of Dublin's past to life. His storytelling made the events feel real, and his passion for the subject was clear. He did a fantastic job of immersing us in the eerie atmosphere of Dublin's streets, making each stop memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the darker side of Dublin's history. Peter's dramatic narration adds a whole new level to the experience, making it a must-do for those looking for something different and spooky.

Must have for a Dublin vistit!

An absolut must-have for a Dublin visit. Pieter knows such an huge amount of real insights in the Irish history and you as his guests on that event can ask what you want, he returns back with so good and valuable background information. This evening tour is one of our highlights at this time stay in Dublin. Pieter many thanks for that!

Great tour. We didn't have much time in Dublin so this tour was perfect to get a really good idea of the city. I love these tours in all the cities, they are fun and informative and the guides are so nice.

Great Tour

Published on Apr, 2024

Great tour! Peter was knowledgeable about not only the macabre stories from Dublin and Greater Ireland, but the general history as well. It was a new tour, and just me, but Peter was professional and offered up tidbits about the area and recommendations throughout the tour.
