Fables, Folklore and Irish Storytelling
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.

Dave was absolutely brilliant, very friendly, answered each and every question with enthusiasm and had an abundance of knowledge. Clearly very passionate about what he does and was an excellent guide 10/10. Visited many historic spots and gave many recommendations for places to visit in Dublin.

Si buscan un tour con buena energía, con buen conocimiento y ultimada mente bien relajado, Daniela lo hace rebién! Estuvo atenta y dispuesta a responder las preguntas con honestidad y realista! Sumamente amable y lo recomiendo!!
February 18, 2024Nuestra guía fue Marina, quien supo trasmitir sus conocimientos sobre la historia y la cultura de Dublín de forma muy amena y divertida. Sobre todo me gustó que incluyera anécdotas y consejos sobre qué vale la pena y qué no visitar. Personalmente creo que hizo un trabajo estupendo y recomiendo ir con ella a hacer los tours.

February 17, 2024Un tour muy completo, pasas 3h super entretenidas aprendiendo muchos detalles sobre la cultura irlandesa, mientras visitas los monumentos más emblemáticos (y los diez minutillos para la guiness vienen de lujo). Además, si te toca con Marina, has tenido suerte, de las mejores guias que hemos tenido
