Quite expensive tour. Advertised as being by professional actors but one gentleman took the whole tour which consisted of being driven around ona bus with the curtains drawn and visiting an old cemetery and a church and some stories. Not a patch on the dungeon tours in London and Edinburgh. More

This tour is worth every penney! If you are interesed in the darker side of Dublin and the darker side of human this is a 'must do'. Our night was cold and windy, but it totally fits the atmosphere. Some stories definitely make you chill. Put on a warm jacket and an extra pair of socks. ;) My partner in... More

Wanted to try something different. It was definitely worth it. The actors were fabulous. Saw some interesting parts of the town. Stopped at a pub and met the NICEST people. I would definitely do this again and would recommend to anyone. More

The actor was hilarious... We had a great time on this tour... We saw numerous parts of the city and learned a lot of Dublin history... I will say bring a jacket!! It was a bit chilly but we knew that ahead of time... One of the best tours we went on! :D More

This is really worth a visit, although if you do it at night, WRAP UP WARM! The tour driver we had, Kevin, was amazing, couldn't have asked for a better tour guide to guide us through the darker history of dublin, absolute gem:) it's a bit expensive, but it's something different to do and it's defo worth it :) More

I was going to pass on this tour because I thought it was too pricey, but I noticed there was a significant reduction if you purchased the Dublin Bus Hop On Hop Off bus ticket - 9 euros off, so 19 euros each. I thought my teenagers should have had a lower price, like at most places, but they were... More

This tour was very expensive and I wish I could've had a refund!!!! There were several drunk couples on the tour that would run off to find toilets holding the rest of the group up. At the first stop my husband and I couldn't get close to the tour guide because there were too many people smoking and we can't... More

Fantastic tour. The actor and the bus driver were both super into the tour itself. Really enthusiastic and made the evening (it takes 2 hours) a hoot! Not sure I would say it was particularly scary..but I do have a high tolerance for these things. Definitely entertaining and definitely worth the money paid. We got a deal where you buy... More

A very fun night, excellent tour. Tour guide was hilarious, and worked in some genuine Irish history as well. I thought it was very expensive, though, compared to some other attractions in Ireland. More
