Dublin Mythology and Folklore Tour with Irish Stories and Legends
Description
This tour is unlike any other in the city; an exploration of Ireland's rich tradition of storytelling, and how those stories have changed the curve of Irish History, shaped the nation, and made Dublin the wonderful city it is. In Ireland, storytelling is more than just a pastime - it's a high art form that has changed the very course of history itself.

Be ready to get an in depth knowledge of folklore and mythology along with Dublin history - Alan makes it fun, humorous and was a great guide. Highly recommend him!! We did this on our first day in Dublin - made the next days so much more fun with what we knew!
Really enjoyed the tour, Emily was really knowledgeable and looked after the group really well.
Our tour guide Emily was really great, she highlighted all the interesting points we could cover in two hours about Ireland’s Folklore, Mythology and History. I booked this as part of my solo trip and enjoyed it very much! 😊
Alan was a great guide and very knowledgeable. He managed to put quite a bit of humour into his stories.
Great tour, super knowledgeable Had a blast learn so much!
We had very limited time for our visit in dublin and i really wanted to learn a bit about the mythology and history while i had the chance. This tour was awesome for that, it was a great blend of anchient myhology, how it ties into history and local legends.
This tour was such a unique and worthwhile experience! The tour guide, Helena, is an excellent storyteller, weaving Irish myths and folklore to Irish history as well as today. The walk was very enjoyable and offered a fresh perspective of Dublin, even though I have been living here for the past 5 years. This is a great tour for people of all ages who want to be introduced to a different aspect of Irish culture!
Absolutely fantastic tour! Emily was a very charismatic and knowledgeable guide. I learned so much and she shared several resources so I can continue to learn more about Irish history and folklore. Cannot recommend this enough!
Helena is amazing! The best storyteller in the world, I wanna marry/adopt her :)
