Great storytelling

Ciaran was a great guide and storyteller with alot of passion for Irelands history and ghost stories, he made every stoppingpoint and its story interesting to listen to with a great sense of humor. Would recommend if history and gruesome/paranormal stuff interests you!

Tour guide/owner was...

Tour guide/owner was funny and informative. Was able to speak loud enough for everyone to hear. Be prepared for all types of weather because your tour is happening in pouring rain or shine.

The Best Night Tour You Could Do

Ciarán was very energetic and the stories were captivating. My friends and I were creeped out a good way. Would highly recommend for lovers of ghost tours.
