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.
