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

Itinerary

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.

Guided part good

Patricia_R, Dec 2025

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

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Patricia, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the more traditional guiding aspects of the tour and found the spooky elements enjoyable. We appreciate your honest comments regarding the humour, as guest feedback helps us continually refine the experience. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Anti-climax

Eileen_d, Nov 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

Hi Eileen, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found parts of the tour interesting and appreciate your kind words about our guide. We’re sorry the “scary” aspect of the tour did not meet your expectations. Many guests enjoy the mix of history and comedy within this format, though we understand it may not have been what you were anticipating. Thank you for taking the tour with us, we appreciate your comments and hope you might consider joining us again in the future. DoDublin Team

Who you gonna call? Ghost Bus Tours

Michael_M, Sep 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.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Michael! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time and found our tour guide knowledgeable.

Amazing actors, highly recommend

Louise_M, Aug 2025

I was apprehensive about this at first but it exceeded my expectations. The actors were amazing and so professional. Our son volunteered to go in the coffin which he loved and had some great photos. The stories and history were great too.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that the Ghostbus Tour exceeded your expectations, that means a lot, especially coming from someone who was a bit apprehensive at first. Our actors will be thrilled to know you found them professional and engaging, they truly love what they do! And hats off to your son for bravely volunteering for the coffin experience — what a fun memory. We’re also glad you enjoyed the mix of eerie stories and Dublin’s darker history. Hopefully we’ve turned you into a fan of the spooky side of the city! Kind Regards, DoDublin Team

Good tour

Becky_H, May 2025

Good tour, good history lesson. Tour guide made it fun and interesting. Only negative was the Bus was very hot.

Loved it!

mickiep88, May 2025

Edgar and Francis were fabulous! It was very well done with humor but also interesting facts! Edgar and Francis were fabulous!

Not a great experience

Kerrie_M, Apr 2025

This was supposed to be the best ghost tour in Dublin but we were not impressed. The guide dumped a bunch of water on us all half way through, thinking it was funny, but all it did was sour the whole experience. The bus smelled overwhelmingly like bad cologne and the only good part was the driver Frances. By the time we were done I was freezing from the water dumped on my head and down my sweater and a headache from the smell. I can not say I would recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks for your review. I am very sorry that you had this experience. Can you please email info@dodublin.ie and we can look into this matter further. Please tell us the date and time of the tour.

Not as advertised, stops...

Tony_S, Apr 2025
