    Loved it so much. I was on the tour twice. There were differences, I still enjoyed them both. I cant recommend the tour highly enough. The second guide wasn't as good as the first guide, bit of a plonker. Gave us one name at the beginning of the tour. As the tour went on, he was talking to individuals on the tour. Three ladies worked with another man he knew. He gave them a third name. They weren't the only ones to get a laugh out of his third name change of the night.

    A really funny tour with dark and twisted humour. The tour guide is brilliant and it's astounding how they managed to fit such an awesome experience in such a small bus. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes dark humour and a fun but different Dublin bus tour.

    Entertaining, engaging and a not to be missed tour that should be part of every trip to Dublin. Our storyteller Nick made sure that there was never a dull moment. The bus driver was also fantastic. Certainly the best guided tour I have ever been on. Worth every penny.

    Total rip off! Been wanting to do the ghost bus tour since I was a kid. The first 5 minutes of the tour were kinda spooky, but after that it's like they gave up? Our guide was very nice, but not effective AT ALL at making the experience feel in any way spooky or even engaging tbh. I know for a fact Ireland has so much interesting ghostly history and so little of it was shared on our tour. What we did learn felt very disjointed and the proper atmosphere was not built for the telling, so it wasn't very effective. We stood in the rain for 20 minutes waiting to get on the bus, then very soon were off again to go to a cemetery/old church where people had the opportunity to get into a coffin for photos while the rest of us could "look around." We wandered around aimlessly in the cold/damp, found a sleeping bag (so clearly a homeless person had been sleeping there) and a bin behind some railings in one corner, which definitely added to the lack of atmosphere. Then back on the bus to do a quiz (which just felt like a time filler) and then get off again at another church? The rain was really coming down at this point, which I understand was out of the tours control but if the quality of the storytelling had been better, standing in the rain might have felt somewhat worth it. Then back on the bus to wrap up. I couldn't believe that was it. I came away baffled at what I'd just paid 35€ for, think I would have still felt ripped off if I'd only paid 20€. My final gripe is that the bus itself (and how it had been refurbished/done up) was probably the most interesting thing about the tour and we weren't given any time to look around at the end, though tbh at that stage nothing could have saved our experience anyway. It was straight to the pub for a rant and thankfully we picked one with great atmosphere that completely turned our night around. I don't know if any of the newer ghost bus tours are any better, but I can assure you that this one is not worth your time or money.

    The lady spooky lady host was very informative, and very funny I would recommend this spooky experience to anybody, also I am very familiar with all the places they took us and couldn't believe the history I learned. 8.3 out of 10 and that's just for audio the owner should invest in wireless headset mics

    This was one of the funnest experiences I had in Dublin! Cullen was our guide and Freddie our driver and the combination of the two of them couldn't be beat! It was informative as well as fun and we got to see some of the coolest spots around Dublin. They made the experience so great despite the stormy weather. Highly recommend!

    A very enjoyable ride based on great storytelling. The guide - Nick - was quite excellent. I'd like to have been shown a bit more of the city and there were a few technical drawbacks (or rather, feedbacks ...), but it's nonetheless definitely recommended for anyone with a bit of a dark soul!

    Entertaining and informative - well worth it! A really fun way to see a different side of Dublin and hear some spooky stories. Our guide, Edgar, was great and the information was both interesting and entertaining with some grisly props and stories. Our 16 year old daughter liked it too (Edgar was a boss at singing don't let the haters bring you down).

    Edgar and Francis were great! The tour was spooky but not scary scary, great for people interested in ghost stories and history you might not have heard of about Dublin.. With a few frights here and there and a lovely little bit of cheesiness for a good giggle!

    Tried this and was pretty impressed. I was expecting it to be a bit cheesy based on the description, however, it was good. The host was fantastic and did a great job of explaining the history and events during the tour, and was very entertaining and included the participants during the tour. The two hours went very quickly and was definitely enjoyable β€” I would recommend this.

    Anybody that is thinking of doing this tour, I would certainly say do it, however don't expect it to be scary, it's cheesy jokes and and just a giggle in general with some ghostly tales in between. Our tour guide, Louisa was very energetic and very enthusiastic as well as making us all laugh. The only negative points on the experience was that our tour was booked for 9:30pm and the bus did not arrive until around 9:45 (not to much of a big deal) when we finally got on to the entrance of the bus I handed our tickets to the driver that had a list of bookings only for him to say that my name was not on the list, he questioned if I had booked and of course my response was "well yes you have my ticket/printed booking confirmation from trip advisor" in all fairness he did let us on after a little Delay however it was a little confusing to see that our name wasn't on the booking list despite having a ticket. Overall I would say that it is definitely a tour worth doing whilst in Dublin especially after a few pints. Expect a few laughs and a few ghostly tales.

    Very fun for a larger group in the start. The first stop was a fun activity with some scary stories. The jump scares got a bit stale after the first stop and the trip felt a bit dragged out after that. Fun overall, but I'm glad we had a couple of drinks before we went.

    Genius! So much fun. Vincent (the guide) did an amazing job! The driver was very friendly. Would go again for sure! Interesting historical facts, creepy paranormal horror stories and a great sense of humor! Don't miss out just take the tour!

    Enjoyable and insightful tour of some of the ghostly tales of Dublin's past. The Guide was excellent and some of scares had people screaming in a good way. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Wioleta K. 1 year ago on Google
    We took the ghostbus tour tonight and found it great. It wasn't too scary, just spooky enough - although I did scream once haha. Edgar our host was very funny and shared lots of interesting stories - I'd recommend it as a fun experience and something different to do when you're in Dublin. Thanks!

    My partner and I had the best night on the ghost bus tour. Edgar was so engaging and managed to scare the s*#@ out of me a few times! It was funny, informative and very spooky. Well worth it.

  • 5/5 Edward R. 1 year ago on Google
    We wanted to do something fun and offbeat one night while visiting Dublin and this tour perfectly fit the bill. From the moment you enter the mini spook house bus, you will be entertained by Edgar’s tales of the macabre side of Dublin. The highlight was visiting a ruined church in a park. If you want to laugh and be a wee bit scared, book this tour.

  • 5/5 Saidbh O. 1 year ago on Google
    The Ghost Bus Tour is a must do when in Dublin - especially at Halloween! Our tour guide Edgar & driver Francis went out of their way on a particular stormy (& honestly perfect weather for a ghost tour) night. Edgar was phenomenal, keeping everyone entertained for a full 2hrs! Looking forward to going again!

    Edgar is a great lad! Very funny and spooky tour ❀️

  • 5/5 M M. 1 year ago on Google
    Edgar & co made this tour historical, fun, comical, with a surprisingly spooky bus & with plenty of time to walk around the sites to take photos. Edgar made the drive very entertaining & personable. We’ve done various ghost tours (including bus tours) in Europe & N America & this one is a must-see.

  • 5/5 Isis A. 1 year ago on Google
    This tour was even better than I expected! Edgar (our guide) was an absolute riot, he told us about many interesting spooky stories while scaring us and making us laugh a bunch. Visited a couple of sites that were amazing. So there is a bit of walking but it is mostly on the cozy bus. I absolutely recommend this tour to everyone if you're into this sort of thing while visiting Dublin!!! Thanks for the fantastic evening πŸ‘»

  • 5/5 Dean J. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and myself recently had the pleasure of being part of the tour. From the first minute to the very last it was fantastic. An excellent two hours spent in the pleasure of Edgar our tour guide who was funny, informative, full of knowledge and highly entertaining, Francis our driver really took care of us and whether you are from Dublin or just visiting this tour is a must do. The bus is so well designed it gives a great spooky atmosphere as soon as you board. 10 out of 10 experience and truly cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

    Had a great evening. Thanks guys

    I went on this tour Nov 2017 and had Sebastian as our guide. He was hugely entertaining! It was my second time doing this tour. I had a different tour guide last time. You learn something different from each one, they were both so good. It’s fabulous fun, a little bit scary and you learn so much about Dublin and the origin of some well used phrases such as β€˜saved by the bell’. Would thoroughly recommend it.

    I was on a Ghostbus between Christmas and New Year, it was magical! Vincent is a Fantastic host, very charming, charismatic and funny! He delivers the story very well, I really enjoy the tour so much. Also get to know a few interesting details about Dublin. Really worth it!
