Dublin Ghost Bus Tour

About this activity
Beauty can't exist without the grotesque. Get to explore two sides of Dublin by going on a walking tour in the morning with renowned Dublin historian, Pat Liddy, who will take you to the hidden gems of the city that can't be reached by any other way except on foot, all while regaling you with his astonishing storytelling and commentary concerning the city and the many attractions that you'll visit. You'll see Dublin in all its profound beauty under the rays of the sun, but as soon as the sun completely sets and the moon rises, a baleful atmosphere will permeate the streets. Hop on the infamous Ghostbus to go on a 2-hour tour to uncover Dublin's dark secrets. Throughout this tour, you'll be relaxed by the comfy seats of the bus, but at the same time, you'll feel unnerved by its macabre interior design. Throughout the tour, you'll be accompanied by professional actors who will take you to places known for having disturbing, grim histories and features, such as: 1) Saint Michan's Church, which is said to be haunted by malevolent spirits of the mummified remains stored in its crypt; 2) the Kilmainham Gaol, another spooky site said to be haunted by prisoners of all ages that died inside cold and dark jail cells; 3) the Brazen Head, the city's oldest pub where the spirit of "Bold" Robert Emmet sits in a corner of the pub to keep an eye out for his executioner. If you're a horror and mystery fan, you'll delight in this tour; you're sure to be left laughing and scared at the same time.
