Not good
It was not a good experience. For €50 each I expected a lot more stories to be told. Did not enjoy it at all
via Viator
Gorgeous views!
This hike is not for a non hiker. It was up hill at a pretty quick pace the whole time. The view was spectacular and the tour guide was so cool. Not scary at all I’m not sure why it advertised professional actors but there were none. All in all though it was beautiful and a fun experience!
via Viator
Amazing
The tour was amazing, and our guide was great and had tons of information on the location and background. Will definitely recommend!!

An excellent, unique experience
A bus ride up to the hill with a guide who really knows his history, and then a walk through the woods (sometimes off the path) just after sunset. There was still just a bit of colour in the sky when we came out of the woods and saw the site silhouetted against it. The guide taught us about the Hellfire Club outside of the site and then we went in. I remember thinking 'well we're definitely staying out here I'm not going in there' before realising that yes, actually, we were going in there. I'm glad I did because while there is definitely something that feels 'off' about the place (maybe just got myself worked up) it also felt less creepy for having experienced it. They have a couple lanturns per group and you also get your own lanyard with a light and a thing you can use to make noise if you get separated. It'd be pretty hard to get separated unless you deliberately left the group, but it's nice to know you have the light especially if you need it. You might just to watch your feet on some of the less even ground. Wear good shoes. Your shoes and the bottoms of your pants may get muddy on the way up or down. Watch out for horse poo on the path. The view of Dublin from the site is incredible.

Great tour! Lovely guides!
Really cool experience! My husband and I had seen the Hellfire club years ago on Ghost Adventures and as we were vacationing around Ireland we had to go. It’s tucked away so I definitely recommend a tour over trying to find it yourself. This tour was great. The guides were informative and friendly and it was just a short ride from Dublin. The walk up is a bit long, 20 minutes or so, but not too difficult. Loved seeing this place in person, you’ll get a good bit of the history from the guides. Highly recommend!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horror Hike Dublin Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Horror Hike Dublin Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horror Hike Dublin Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Horror Hike Dublin Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horror Hike Dublin Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Horror Hike Dublin Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horror Hike Dublin Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horror Hike Dublin Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Horror Hike Dublin Tour?
+
Included: Specially Designed Bus; Professional Actors; Interactive Bus Tour; and Highly Recommended. Not included: Not suitable for anyone under 10. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Horror Hike Dublin Tour?
+

What languages is Horror Hike Dublin Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Horror Hike Dublin Tour?
+

Is Horror Hike Dublin Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
