    Absolutely amazing tour group! The bus was decked out like a haunted house on wheels! They had some great guides in spooky make-up and costumes take us around the city and give us a terrifying and educational tour about some of the scariest bits of the history of Dublin, Ireland. No spoilers, but we had a phenomenal time! 10/10 would go again!

    The actors were nice and enthusiastic. The problem was the manager/driver. He was full of excuses for the few problems that occurred on the tour. This included a patron that had a party of 3 and the seats were changed. This family had asked to get their same seats and the crowd was not helping. All were easy to resolve and have the talent laugh it off and make all happy. But the driver, who was clearly in charge, made unnecessary excuses blaming this, that and the other. This family had left the tour and made things feel a little sad. Further, it made no difference to the manager. Disappointing.

    Huge disappointment mainly due to lack of safety awareness. We were ca. 50 people on a single bus floor with nearly no ventilation and absolutely no air conditioning (during covid pandemic). It was super humid and very hard to breathe with people coughing all around us. What is even worse is that the main actor told us a story over a burning candle while the bus was in motion. I am wondering how no one in this company thought of the aftermaths in case the candle dropped over someone sitting nearby. We would have easily become the story for their next tour. The performance ended right in front of the graveyard, no idea why we even drove there. The plot is all about the plague - the stories are rather disgusting than spooky. The language is not really suitable for kids. The actors did invest efforts but I think it did not work out so well - it was hard to hear them, sometimes they were way too far, sometimes way too close in our personal spaces. The bus looked cool but the lack of ventilation and super tiny seats spoiled the experience. Thumbs up for the idea but please review your safety rules, as well as your flyers. We paid 29 euros instead of the printed 25 euros, and did not get the free walking haunted tour.

    Found the tour a bit boring. The guide wasn't great tbh and used a lot of unnecessary bad language. it was difficult to hear him at times too and he could have done with a microphone ..I would be reluctant to recommend this tour

    Absolutely brilliant! Such good value for money! This tour has everything, horror, comedy and really interesting history! The girls were amazing! They had everyone's attention the whole time, had us hiding behind our coats and had us in stitches! Thank you!

    DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!!! I purchased a ticket on the Gravedigger Bus Tour while on vacation to Dublin. I showed up 15mins early as prompted, but the bus arrived late. As the bus finally started boarding passengers, I was not allowed to board even though I had purchased a ticket. I was then informed that the bus was sold out to a private party and my ticket was not valid. I was then told to stand to the side as the bus driver flagged over a woman who told me repeatedly that she could not help me or offer a refund. She claimed that she wasn’t supposed to be working that night and she had somewhere more important that she needed to be before rushing off into another vehicle. I was stuck standing in the cold for almost an hour and humiliated in front of other tourists, then shooed off because no one wanted to deal with me. I have never felt more embarrassed or publicly humiliated in my life, and after reading other other low rated reviews on this site, I’m glad I was prevented from experiencing this tour.
