A unique way to see the city! - The Dublin True Crime Tour was a thrilling experience, made even better by the small group size. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely interested in getting to know each of us, making the experience feel personal and engaging. He expertly told chilling tales of notorious crimes, unsolved mysteries, and historic executions, bringing Dublin's dark history to life. With well-paced stops at key landmarks, the tour offered a fascinating glimpse into the city’s criminal past. Perfect for true crime fans seeking a more personal, interactive experience. Highly recommended!

Best tour in Dublin! - This tour was SO GOOD! I've been living in Dublin for years and have been on loads of tours. This was by far the best and most unique. Joe, our guide, had obviously researched the hell out of the content and had a personal interest in the more esoteric side of Irish history and culture. So instead of getting the same, surface level stories you get on other tours (which are a great starting point) you see a deeper side of Dublin. My friends and I will definitely be going on more Alternative Dublin tours!

Missed the mark - Sadly, I felt our tour guide was not feeling in the best of health, which was unfortunate. Also, I anticipated hearing about mayhem, murders and poisonings that occurred in the Victorian era — not contemporary. Maybe I misread the tour description.

Disappointing - I was disappointed, the tour guide seemed distracted and confused, he would start to tell a story, then say that he had forgotten a piece of the story, making it disjointed. I found that he chatted into his chest making it difficult to understand.
