Fables, Folklore and Irish Storytelling

This unique tour will explore Ireland's stories, from ancient myths right up to modern day legends. Stories have always been used in Ireland to entertain, to educate, to inspire and to imbue; indeed - there are more uses for a good story than there are stories themselves.

Dublin Mythology and Folklore Tour

A good story is a powerful thing; stories take you to far-off places, bring you back in time, inspire, amuse, and, in many cases throughout Ireland's journey, help change the very course of history itself.

Join our Dublin Mythology & Folklore Tour,  and take a journey through these great Irish stories - from the ancient legends of Irish mythology to the strange and often macabre underbelly of Georgian and Victorian Dublin, right through to the beloved real-life contemporary characters of the city.

The mythology and stories of Ireland have put Gods in their heavens (and taken them back out again), kept schoolboys off stairways, warmed the hearts of a nation, and even helped topple an Empire. This truly unique city tour of Dublin will give you a whole new perspective on Ireland, her history, culture, and people.

This is the only walking tour in Dublin of its kind, book your spot today.
