Description
There's 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 on 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 to mention the contemporary figures who bring the city to life.
Irish stories have lifted gods to heaven and brought them back down to earth. They have shaken generations, moved entire countries, and even helped topple an empire.
This tour offers a different way to see Dublin: through its living history, its culture, and its people.
There's no other like it. Reserve your spot and come experience it.
