At Dark Side City Tours, we believe the most interesting parts of a city’s history didn’t happen under sunny skies. They happened in alleyways, execution chambers, plague pits, and the kind of places most guidebooks politely avoid — and that’s exactly where we take you.
We skip the sugar-coated version of the past. No emperors waving to crowds or saints glowing with virtue. Instead, we deal in murder, ghosts, poisonings, scandals, and the uncomfortable truths that built the world’s most iconic cities — one body at a time.
As part of City Stories Tours, our focus is on people, not plaques. Every tour is obsessively researched and written by the guide who leads it — blending storytelling, dark humour, and just enough historical accuracy to keep the ghosts quiet. Some companies have tried to steal our material — which is flattering. But like most forgeries, you can smell the fake from a mile away.
THE WORLD AT NIGHT, FOR MUCH OF ITS HISTORY, WAS A VERY DARK PLACE INDEED
