An excellent, unique experience - A bus ride up to the hill with a guide who really knows his history, and then a walk through the woods (sometimes off the path) just after sunset. There was still just a bit of colour in the sky when we came out of the woods and saw the site silhouetted against it. The guide taught us about the Hellfire Club outside of the site and then we went in. I remember thinking 'well we're definitely staying out here I'm not going in there' before realising that yes, actually, we were going in there. I'm glad I did because while there is definitely something that feels 'off' about the place (maybe just got myself worked up) it also felt less creepy for having experienced it. They have a couple lanturns per group and you also get your own lanyard with a light and a thing you can use to make noise if you get separated. It'd be pretty hard to get separated unless you deliberately left the group, but it's nice to know you have the light especially if you need it. You might just to watch your feet on some of the less even ground. Wear good shoes. Your shoes and the bottoms of your pants may get muddy on the way up or down. Watch out for horse poo on the path. The view of Dublin from the site is incredible.

Great tour! Lovely guides! - Really cool experience! My husband and I had seen the Hellfire club years ago on Ghost Adventures and as we were vacationing around Ireland we had to go. It’s tucked away so I definitely recommend a tour over trying to find it yourself. This tour was great. The guides were informative and friendly and it was just a short ride from Dublin. The walk up is a bit long, 20 minutes or so, but not too difficult. Loved seeing this place in person, you’ll get a good bit of the history from the guides. Highly recommend!

Amazing Trip from Start to Finish! - Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. So much history involved, Dara was amazing and so full of information. My teenage daughter and her friends loved exploring the ruins of the Hellfire Club. Breathtaking views of Dublin City at night was the icing on the cake. No ghosts on this trip this time!

An alternative and interesting tour - If you want a different type of Dublin tour experience, this is the tour for you! Though on a Friday night, our family ended up being the only ones on the tour. This offered a very casual and personal feel. Our guides were knowledgeable of the history behind the area, and this was much more than a simple ghost story. Though “creepy” walking along the path at night, it was a safe experience, with lights, reflective bands, and alert button provided. The meetup area was slightly off, though that seems more on the Viator site. Even when we were at the incorrect location, they came around and found us.

Perfect Halloween Activity - We went on this tour last night as a group of friends and had an absolute ball. Learned some interesting facts the host Matt was exceptional at his job. So funny and well informed! The walk up to the hellfire club was spooky and the views from the top at night were phenomenal. Would recommend!

Gorgeous views! - This hike is not for a non hiker. It was up hill at a pretty quick pace the whole time. The view was spectacular and the tour guide was so cool. Not scary at all I’m not sure why it advertised professional actors but there were none. All in all though it was beautiful and a fun experience!

Fun but not again. - I enjoyed the tour and got some good information out of it. The only negatives were it was quite a hike uphill and through the woods, the meeting place was a bit confusing, and there was a lot of children running wild and being annoying. The tour guide and driver were good sports though.

Hellfire club tour - 3 of us went on this tour in the middle of October. It was very good, get a nice bit of history and when ya get into the house our tour guide told us more stories. Very good, would recommend it if u wanted to do something different and get a bit of exercise aswell coz its at the top of a mountain.

Not good - It was not a good experience. For €50 each I expected a lot more stories to be told. Did not enjoy it at all
