  1. Dublin: The Gravedigger Ghost Bus 2-Hour Tour

  Climb aboard an atmospheric bus that has been specially built and kitted out by one of Ireland's leading set design companies. Join professional actors who will not just serve as your ghoulish guides, but double as creepy, charming characters from Dublin's hellish past! Learn how the plague ravaged the city from a ghost from the past who is all too familiar with the disease. Hear of gruesome, agonizing tortures, and meet many characters with tales of terror to tell. Laugh and scream your way around the city, and - if you're lucky - leave with your soul intact! Enjoy a ghoulish brew at the Gravedigger's Pub, known for serving the best pint of Guinness in Ireland.

  Good tour, great actors and met some nice people! Would recommend, and the pub is also great! Must do!

  The tour was good for what it was: a theatrical experience. I had actually wanted to book the proper ghost tour which has more normal historic commentary, and where you get off and explore certain sites, but it was fully booked. This bus stopped only three times and we simply climbed down and stood around listening to a story being told at a particular spot, which we didn't enter. The fact that it was freezing didnt help.

  5. Northside Ghost Walking Tour in Dublin

  With its vast and turbulent history, it is not surprising that Dublin is one of the most haunted cities in the world. Beware! Those of a nervous disposition may be left feeling just a little bit spooked! You will discover the site of Saint Mary’s Abbey; one of the most powerful Irish monastic settlements in medieval times, and now just a small ruin down an alleyway, passed by thousands of oblivious commuters every day. If you are feeling brave enough, we will take a walk down Hendrick Street, once the site of two of the most haunted houses in Dublin. Between number 7 and 8 Hendrick Street lived no fewer than 6 different ghosts. You might want to steel your nerves before venturing with us to Croppie’s Acre. This long-abandoned site was used as a football pitch in the 20th century, but underneath is a mass grave – the final resting place of hundreds of rebels executed in the 1798 rebell...

  We loved how this tour points out interesting locations not listed in the average guide books which we hope to explore further before heading home. We've done ghost tours in other cities as well, they have all been a extra special addition to the typical tourist locations.
