Dublin Tour Nocturno | Akelarre Tours

FREE NIGHT TOUR: Urban Legends & History of Pubs

Our Free Night Tour will take you to the Irish capital's mysterious side: the origin of legends and myths. We will introduce you to the culture of the pubs, and we will talk about the role that they played in the life of the Irish people. Thus, we will visit the emblematic Temple Bar district, its history, and the different stages it has gone through, from being one of Dublin's most important red light districts to becoming the neighborhood of music and street artists. We will start the tour at Dublin Castle and see the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity and the church of St Audoen, among others. Too we will visit lesser-known places, such as Jonathan Swift's alley or the Darkey Kelly's pub, where we will tell you some urban legends.

What is a Free Tour?

A Free Tour is an entertaining way to learn about the history and culture of a city. It is managed by professional guides who will take you through the most critical places in tours of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes for free. At the end of the ride, the guides will accept tips or donations based on their performance on each ride.
Should I tip my guide?

If the tour has been to your liking, you can tip your guide if you wish. Each professional works exhaustively to provide the best quality service.
Where do the tours end?

All of our Dublin walking tours end in the city center. If you have any doubts, your guide will help you at the end of each journey.
What happens if it rains at the time of the tour?

All our tours count even if it rains, so we recommend you bring an umbrella or raincoat. If the weather turns dangerous, we will email you in advance to let you know whether or not the tour will take place.
Do you have wheelchair accessibility?

Yes, Dublin is a relatively accessible city for wheelchair users.
