Dublin: The Gravediggers Ghost Bus Tour
Hop-On Hop-Off
- Dublin
- Ireland
Delve into the shadowy underbelly and grim history of Ireland's capital aboard 'The Gravedigger,' the country's premier theatrical 4D ghost bus. On this immersive 2-hour-and-15-minute night tour, expert actors in full costume bring medieval plagues, body snatchers, and terrifying local lore to life as you navigate Dublin's dark, winding streets.
Your haunting journey departs from College Green and takes you back 600 years to the Black Death era. Stop outside the eerie St. Audoen's Church—notorious for ghost sightings and plague history—before passing the sinister, shadow-draped walls of Kilmainham Gaol, where Ireland's most famous political prisoners met their tragic fates. Next, head toward Glasnevin Cemetery, the final resting place of over one million souls and a historic hotspot for 19th-century grave robbers. The tour culminates at the legendary Gravediggers Pub (John Kavanagh's), where you can relax your nerves and enjoy a complimentary 'Ghoulish Brew' in one of Dublin's oldest and most atmospheric traditional pubs before returning to College Green.
