Itinerary

  1. The tour departs in front of H&M in College Green.

    5 min

  2. The gravedigger ghost bus tour starts at Trinity College where your guide will transport you back some 600 years ago to when the old Augustinian Priory and of course the plague house were there. The latter of which the guide is all too familiar with… But just ignore the coughing and listen to his tales of a plague-ravaged Dublin.

    20 min

  3. Hear an account of plague victims trying to soothe their wounds in the waters of the city’s drinking supplies. Learn about the mayor's schemes to try and keep the disease at bay, on the gates of Kilmainham Gaol and discover the fates of all those poor souls who found themselves infected with the disease. Many were ostracised, but some suffered an end much, much worse.

  4. Learn the history of Gravedigging at the haunted gates of Glasnevin Cemetery.

About Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's friendly, literary capital on the River Liffey, a city of Georgian squares, historic pubs, live music and a gift for storytelling.

Trinity College holds the illuminated Book of Kells and the soaring Long Room library, while Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral and St Patrick's Cathedral trace the city's medieval and colonial past. Georgian squares such as Merrion Square, with their brightly painted doors, and the green expanse of St Stephen's Green provide elegant calm.
