Highlights
  • The Gravedigger Bus Tour - The tour departs in front of H&M in College Green.

The latter of which the guide is all too familiar with… But just ignore the coughing and listen to his tales of a plague-ravaged Dublin.
  • Kilmainham Gaol Museum - Hear an account of plague victims trying to soothe their wounds in the waters of the city’s drinking supplies.

Learn about the mayors schemes to try and keep the disease at bay, and discover the fates of all those poor souls who found themselves infected with the disease. Many were ostracised, but some suffered an end much, much worse.

Fun tour with enthusiastic guide! - Fun tour and lots of laughs. Our tour guide was in costume and made this tour enjoyable. Bus was on time and comfortable. Drinks at the bar outside the cemetery were an extra bonus. Would recommend and we would use this company again.

Waste of money - Absolutely crap. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS! The actors were good but that is about all that was. You don’t get to go in any of the destinations besides the pub. Don’t think you’re getting a proper drink as you will get a tiny shot of watered down vodka. We got dropped off at the gravediggers, which is listed as 30 mins and by the time we got our drinks and went back outside (about 10 mins) the bus had took off without us. Total rip off…

Don't Be Scammed - Gravedigger Dublin Ghost Tour was absolutely awful right from the start, the complete opposite of our last Ghost Tour visit 10 years ago. Not only did we depart 20 minutes late due to our tour guide obviously struggling to find some face paint but his use of profanities throughout was not funny but distasteful. A thick Dublin brogue was acceptable but hard to understand of which our guide took offense of some tourists watching football because of his disappearance throughout half the journey. Every stop consisted of locked gates, including the graveyard. In fact, the tour got it's name due to the last stop beside Glasnevin cemetery, a pub named Gravedigger whereby we paid for our drinks. At €100 approx for 4x people, we felt scammed, disappointed and bored. Don't be conned and spend your money elsewhere.
