Useful Information
Dublin Gravedigger Ghost Tour
Pass by Dublin Castle and Christ Church and hear the stories of the city's central area, Cork Hill, as you make your way to St Audoen’s Church, your first major stop. Get off the bus and explore this historic building while listening to the shocking tales of 'The Black Dog' jail and the mysterious phantom pig. Then, head further to Kilmainham Jail (Kilmainham Gaol), where you'll hear accounts of the various ghosts that are said to haunt the place. Visit Bully’s Acre, a historic graveyard more than 1,000 years old, where encounters of the graveyard’s watchmen's pursuit for professional body snatchers date back to the very beginning of the cemetery's opening.
Drive by the memorial of Croppies Acre and St Michan’s Church before arriving at the original Gravediggers Pub. Here, relax and enjoy a complimentary ‘ghoulish brew’ with your group and guide. After a final stop at the Black Church, also known as St Mary’s Chapel of Ease, you will return back to College Green.
The price of the tour includes a free 'Haunted Dublin Historical Walking Tour' pass, which can be enjoyed separately from this tour. It gives you more insight into Dublin's mysterious history of witches and creepy stalkers, making stops at supernatural places in eerie, cobblestoned streets. Your ticket is valid for one month.

Absolutely fun and fabulous tour. Our "guides" we're entertaining and informative while keeping us guessing what they were going to do next or how they were going to scare us. A very enjoyable evening and a great lesson in why I'm glad I didn't live in the time of the plague.

The evening that we were on the tour, there were only six of us in all. What impressed us was that the low number of us in attendance did not deter the actors from providing one of the best performances!! They were knowledgable about the history that they were sharing with us and the acting was pertinent and demonstrative of the times! All of us agreed that we would definitely take the tour again!
