The Experience

The tour starts at the DoDublin Office and moves through Dublin by air-conditioned bus, stopping at the city's most haunted sites. Your guide is a professional actor who tells the stories of the ghosts and mysteries tied to each location—including the history of Dr. Clossey, a physician at Dublin's Royal College of Surgeons, and the darker legends that haunt the medieval quarter. The pace is set by the bus route and the stops themselves, so you're not walking long distances or navigating on your own.

St Audoens Church is where the tour focuses on the ghosts of Darky Kelly and the Lepers, who are said to still roam the medieval steps. At this stop, you'll see a live demonstration of medieval torture implements—a detail that draws repeat visitors. The graveyard visit takes you into one of Dublin's most haunted burial grounds, right in the heart of the city, where the stories behind the graves come alive through your guide's narration.

The tour runs rain or shine, so bring a jacket if the weather turns. You'll need to call the supplier directly to confirm your place once you've booked; the contact number comes with your voucher. If events are happening at Dublin Castle on your date, an alternative venue will be used instead. The two departure times—7pm or 9:30pm—let you choose whether you want the tour earlier in the evening or later at night, which changes the feel of the medieval streets.

Is this one for you?Book the 7pm departure if you want the tour while there's still some daylight in the streets, or the 9:30pm slot if you prefer the full darkness and the atmosphere that comes with it. Either way, the bus and the guide handle the route and the pacing, so you're not navigating the medieval quarter on foot or trying to find the haunted sites on your own.
