After the sun’s descent shrouds the city in darkness, venture to a central Dublin location in order to climb aboard your ghoulish ghost bus. Sink back into your seat and feel your heart rate quicken as your guide sets the sinister scene in the haunted city.
Commence your supernatural sojourn by visiting the Royal College of Surgeons, home to the restless ghost of an unethical doctor; listen out for his heavy footsteps before gaining fascinating insight into Dublin’s connection with Dracula author Bram Stoker. Listen as your guide recounts more terrifying tales of torture, are you brave enough?
Next, and visit the haunted steps of St Audoens Church and engage with tales of vicious medieval torture methods. Then, disembark the bus to explore the eerie enclave of St Kevin' Graveyard.
Stroll the spooky site alongside your guide and watch demonstrations of how grave robbers would have brutally snatched corpses from the ground. Discover the spectres said to haunt the area and scan the landscape for ethereal apparitions before returning to the comfort of the bus.
Conclude your tour at the original departure point, bidding farewell to your guide after your chilling excursion.

EGAR AND FRANKLIN are the best, your had the right mix of funny as well as scary and it was very personal
Response from Host, Sep 2026

It is wonderful to know that you had such a memorable time with them. We will be sure to pass your kind words on to Edgar and Franklin.
If you like all things macabre and kitsch this is the experience for you! We had a great time with our guide, Spooky Susan, who was knowledgeable, entertaining, and fun. Much of her charm being that she didn’t take herself too seriously! We enjoyed the graveyard walks and the information about Dracula!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your fantastic review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a great time with Spooky Susan and enjoyed her knowledge, humour and entertaining personality. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the graveyard walks and learning about the history of Dracula. We will be sure to pass your kind words on to Susan.
Had a fabulous time! Spooky Sue and Ricky were amazing! Well worth the money and experience. Make sure that you have a flashlight on for certain parts because it can get dark in some areas. You may not actually see any ghosts but the jump scares and the entertainment value were through the roof. Would highly recommend. 5*

What a waste of two hours. Such a shame that an American is talking about Irish history. The history was informative, the acting….. say no more.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the history informative. We are sorry that the style of the performance did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will pass your feedback on to the team.
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.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback. We are delighted to hear that the Ghost Bus was a highlight of your trip and that your daughters enjoyed it so much. It is great to know you enjoyed the mix of spooky stories, fun, and entertainment.

Edgar was awesome! Really funny and informative stories about the history of Dublin and very cool tours of exclusive locations not really open to the public outside of this tour. Would recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Fantastic tour! Spooky Susan was a wonderful guide, entertaining us with terrifying tales and keeping us on the edge of our seats. Great way to learn about Dublin's dark history and to see some of the city's scariest locations. Thanks as well to our driver who was also brilliant.

I’ve done other ghost bus tours and none were like this one- no AC or air on the bus, closed/carpeted windows felt stifling. Tour guide was funny enough but there were no other live actors unlike the name suggested. After about 20 min on a crowded bus with no windows and no air my friend threw up and we couldn’t complete the rest of the tour
Response from Host, Jul 2026

I liked the part where our guide talked like a regular guide. The scary parts where okey but skip the talks where you tell everyone that you have to deliver bad jokes as a part of your job

Really a great experience, Edgar and tyron the driver were so very lovely, full of jokes and facts whilst obviously telling ghost tales and all this whilst shutting the willing few in a coffin !! Really a great tour, would recommend those looking for a laugh who like a ghostly story x
Response from Host, Dec 2025

Whilst the tour was interesting and the tour guide did his best, I felt the “scary“ part of the tour was missing. I was disappointed as I thought there would be a body of actors involved, rather than one driver and one narrator. Sadly overpriced in my opinion.
Response from Host, Nov 2025

We had a very good time and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and the bus was the perfect setting for the tour. We chose the tour because I had seen it on the YouTube channel Clisare. She is a Dubliner who features Irish language and area events and attractions.
