Tour description

There is something magical about a good story. It can take us to other places, to other times. It inspires us, moves us, makes us laugh... and in Ireland, it has even changed the course of history. 

Discover that power in our Mythology and Folklore Tour: a unique journey from the ancient legends of Irish mythology to the darkest corners of Georgian and Victorian Dublin, not forgetting the contemporary characters that bring the city to life. 

Irish stories have elevated gods to the sky and brought them back to earth. They have shaken generations, moved an entire country, and even helped overthrow an empire. 

This tour offers a different way to see Dublin: through its living history, its culture, and its people. 

There is no other like it. Book your spot and come experience it. 

Topics we explore: 

  • Irish mythology
  • Pagan beliefs and ancient Ireland
  • Sagas of gods and heroes
  • Fairy tradition
  • Medieval Dublin myths
  • Witches, heresy, and the occult
  • Famous street characters
  • Gaelic literary revival and the Irish rebellion
  • Superstitions in modern Ireland
