Gravedigger Ghost Bus Night Tour

The Gravedigger's Ghost Bus Tour begins at Trinity College, where your guide will transport you back some 600 years to the ancient Augustinian Priory and, of course, the plague house. The latter is something your guide is very familiar with... But just ignore the coughing and listen to their stories of a plague-ravaged Dublin.

Hear an account of plague victims trying to soothe their wounds in the waters of the city's drinking fountains.

Learn about the mayor's schemes to try to keep the disease under control and discover the fate of all the poor souls who were infected with it. Many were ostracized, but some suffered a much, much worse end.

Many believed the plague signaled the end of days, but Dublin's history and its horrors lived on. Join your guide as they lead you through the strange and wonderful events of times past, unearthing legends and ghosts of Dublin's past. Select a tour stop from the navigation bar below to learn and read more about what to expect. To be sure, join us on our custom storytelling bus and, through poetry and live music, let us take you on a journey to an Ireland of bygone days. This is no ordinary bus, WE PROMISE YOU WON'T FORGET IT!
