A great tour, really informative and brilliant fun. John and Leah were fantastic tour guides, well able to keep us entertained and suitably spooked. Very atmospheric tour on the bus, and getting off at several interesting spots too. Thanks to Jim behind the wheels as well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something to do in Dublin - you won't be disappointed.
I enjoyed the gravedigger bus tour! It was a great experience on our last night in Dublin . Cool bus, friendly and entertaining staff, nice information and tour. Emma is a great storyteller. I can’t remember his name but we had another guy who was a ghost and was equally enthusiastic. It was nice to finish the tour with a bar and get a pint of Guinness .I would recommend this bus tour.
A wonderfully spooky, informative and fun experience! The guides painted a portrait with words (and the visual/sound effects of the bus) that completely drew us into the creepy past around Dublin. It was magical to listen to ghost stories and tales of true crime setting the scene before and at all of our stops. So very happy we made this part of our visit to Ireland!
Got tickets to go on this tour not really knowing what to expect but I’m so glad I did. The whole tour is awesome. The bus looks so good and Shaun and Leah were amazing. Learnt a lot along the way but it’s the laughs along the way to that make it even better. The interaction with everyone was great and Shaun was born to be on stage infront of people he wouldn’t look out of place on the west end.
My partner and I were visiting Dublin and decided to have a chill easy going night. So, we thought it would be fun to try a haunted bus tour! We enjoyed ourselves and thought the tour guides/actors were amazing and we had a lot of fun and laughs. I recommend checking it out if you’re in Dublin!
