About Us

Welcome to the Dark Side

At Dark Side City Tours, we have a fascination for the hidden history of cities, and offer an alternative view of some of the world’s most fascinating places.

Born out of a desire to take our guests away from the usual tourist hotspots, we head into the backstreets and the shadows, weaving tales of hauntings, murders, executions, and the more sinister parts of history.

As part of City Stories Tours, we like to bring you into history through the narrative of the people, entertaining our guests while also teaching of some of the darker parts of our cities. Each tour is carefully crafted by our guides, so beware of imitations. While some companies have tried to steal our tours, they can’t ever be as good.

THE WORLD AT NIGHT, FOR MUCH OF ITS HISTORY, WAS A VERY DARK PLACE INDEED
