We are Ireland’s only tour company to have a permit to do this. It has the most beautiful view overlooking Dublin city that one could ask for, as we observe the city and beyond with views as far as ones eyes can see. It’s just stunning! As we negotiate the trails and terrain we are surrounded by nature and majestic scenery, with feelings of immersive storytelling setting the tone. Eventually at the peak we will end up encountering an old Megalithic site, which was confirmed to be constructed by the great ancients of Ireland BC, where a tomb once existed.

Haunted Dublin Walking Tour

What makes The Dark Side of Dublin distinctive is its combination of history, folklore and the supernatural. Rather than simply presenting a series of ghost stories, the tour explores the darker beliefs that shaped Dublin’s cultural history: fairies, séances, spiritualism, possessions, demons and occult traditions. The stories are rooted in real places and historical accounts, while also considering how legends developed and changed over time. The result is a tour somewhere between history and folklore, asking not only what may have happened, but why people believed it—and why these stories have remained part of Dublin’s imagination.

Haunted Dublin Walking Tour

Jennifer_L, Oct 2026

Must Do in Dublin!

Absolutely fantastic tour! 👻 It was such a fun way to experience Dublin, learning about the city’s dark history while hearing some wonderfully spooky ghost stories along the way. Our guide, Ciaran, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and hilarious, making the whole experience entertaining from start to finish. He brought the stories to life in a way that really stuck with us — so much so that we ended up planning our own haunted pub crawl after the tour, visiting places inspired by the stories he shared! If you’re looking for something fun, memorable, and a little spooky to do in Dublin, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Ciaran was brilliant, and this was definitely a highlight of our trip!

100% do this tour

I learned more from this 90-minute walking tour about Irish history than any museum visits! Ciaron keeps it funny, engaging, and interesting. He grounds the stories in real history, and extends history to current affairs. Incredibly knowledgeable - he could literally answer every or any question. Appreciated his local perspective as a dubliner himself.

It was a fun, interactive...

It was a fun, interactive & entertaining evening! Enjoyed the stories, the musicians skill in playing their instruments and above all the fun time they created for us as a group of strangers coming together. Both pubs were provided a good atmosphere and we stayed at second place for delicious Lamb Stew! The experience was a perfect beginning to our Irish vacation.

So many Irish whiskeys

This adults-only tour is well worth it if you love whiskey or are even whiskey-curious. Learn how your favorite Irish whiskey is made, why it smells so great, and how to taste differences between different whiskeys. Our tour guide, Brandon, was especially knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend!

Anita_G, Sep 2026

Engaging, Entertaining, Informative

Due to the rain our group was 6 instead of 20+, but those of us who persisted were glad we did. Dave gave us a great experience in spite of the weather. At various locations in Temple Bar and across the river on O'Connell, he helped us to understand how myth is woven into history -- how it has influenced significant figures in Irish history and thus history itself. Highly recommended!

Dublin Ghost Bus Tour with Professional Actors

Jessica_M, Sep 2026

This was a great evening...

This was a great evening activity! I brought along my two teenage daughters and they both agreed that this was their favorite thing we did in Dublin. The bus itself is like a haunted house and we stopped at two spooky locations where we got to hear about local ghost stories—-one of these is an abandoned church in a locked graveyard, where we were able to take photos of someone inside a prop coffin. The commentary is cheesy but entertaining, a good mix of scary and fun.

Gravedigger 2 Hours Ghost Bus Tour From Dublin

Michelle_G, May 2026

Great tour! (please add a flash warning)

Fun way to explore the Dublin and some of it's darker history. The tour guides were incredibly funny and made sure everyone had a great time. The timing of the tour was great, it never felt like it dragged on, or got boring. ❗Heads up, if you have issues with strobe lights/photosensitive epilepsy. At one point in the tour, all the lights in the bus get turned off, and a bright light flashes repeatedly.
