Dublin: River Liffey Sightseeing Cruise
See Dublin from the River Liffey on a sightseeing cruise and admire the city's monuments from the water. Learn the history of Dublin, from the arrival of the Vikings to today.
Dublin has a dark side, and this tour dives straight into it. The Gravedigger Ghost Bus is a purpose-built 4D experience on wheels - part theatre, part haunted house, part history lesson. Costumed actors, special effects, and jump scares keep you on edge as the bus winds through streets that were once ravaged by plague, public executions, and body snatchers who raided the city’s graveyards.
The tour departs from Trinity College and plunges you 600 years into Dublin’s grim past. You stop at Audeon’s Church - locally known as “Hell” - reputedly haunted by restless souls. The route continues past Kilmainham, site of some of Ireland’s most tragic events, and on to a thousand-year-old cemetery where hundreds of thousands of bodies lie buried, including victims of the notorious body snatchers who supplied Dublin’s medical schools with fresh corpses.
The evening finishes at the legendary Gravediggers Pub in Glasnevin, where a complimentary ghoulish drink is waiting. The pub sits beside one of Europe’s largest cemeteries and has been pouring pints since 1833 - the perfect setting to decompress after two hours of Dublin’s most macabre stories. This is proper evening entertainment that works equally well for visitors and locals who think they already know the city.
