Ireland has a unique relationship with its legendary past. Kept alive in the histories of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s gods were not destroyed but - in the words of Mark Williams - demoted to lesser beings. On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The mysteries and the macabre all combining into the secret esoteric orders that strove to unlock the secrets of existence. Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings… TOPICS - Maud Gonne & WB Yeats - The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn - Huguenot Cemetery - The Ghost of the Shelbourne - St. Stephen’s Green’s Grizzly History - Bram Stoker - Graverobbers - Darkey Kelly - Dublin’s House of Horrors - Tenements - Justice in Dublin

Legends, ghosts and ghouls of Dublin walking tour
Had an amazing guided walk through the centre of Dublin. Liam took us to several different spots and told us all about the hermetic order of the golden dawn, the ghosts in hotels, Darkey Kelley and more. Even though it was raining cats and dogs we had an incredible outing!
via Tripadvisor
Great tour
We had an incredible experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Elisa! She was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and kept everyone engaged from start to finish. The overall pacing was great. If you go, definitely try to book a slot with Elisa if you can. Highly recommend! Excellent choice of locations that felt isolated from the bustling modern city just a block away

Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin cost?
+
Prices start at $16 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 Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 34 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 Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin?
+
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 Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin?
+
Around 12 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin 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 Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin?
+
Included: storeyteller to spook you out. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin?
+
You can meet us in front of this historic house Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin 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 Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
