Dublin Tour: Ghost Bus
For those seeking a creepy and daring bus tour, try the Dublin Tour's Ghost Bus, which is specially designed and decorated to create a haunted, Gothic atmosphere. Spooky music plays, and the light flicker and glow as the bus drives through Dublin's dark streets. Each bus tour is guided by a professional storyteller, who shares the gruesome histories of some of Dublin's landmarks. Stops on the tour include some of Dublin's most ominous sites, including St. Kevin's Park and Graveyard, a medieval burial site popular with body snatchers and St. Audoen's Haunted Steps. Guests of this tour will also hear about Dublin author Bram Stoker, the author of the classic horror tale "Dracula."
Dublin Tour: Hop On, Hop Off
This tour, operated by Dublin Bus, Dublin's official public transportation provider, offers flexibility and exploration. Guests get great views of the city from these double-decker buses, and the tour cycles through 23 of Dublin's most popular spots. Admission to this bus tour is good for 24 hours, and guests are welcome to get on and off of the buses at any one of the tour locations. Some of the tour sites include Trinity College, Dublin Castle, the Guinness Storehouse and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Guests can also take this tour bus and stop off at a certain location for further exploration at a place like the Dublin Zoo or Kilmainham Gaol (an unoccupied jail that closed in 1924 and held leaders of several Irish rebellions). This bus tour offers a connection to several of Dublin's most famous and interesting attractions as well as the flexibility to come and go between the buses and the sites.
Dublin Tour: South Coast and Gardens
This bus tour, another option offered by Dublin Bus, takes guests outside of the main city to the south coast of Dublin. These double-decker buses offer beautiful views of the sea coast and Dublin Bay as well as the remnants of old castles. The buses head inland and drive through the Wicklow Mountains. The bus stops in Enniskerry, a small, Victorian-style village in the mountains, and at the Powerscourt Estate, which includes a beautiful mansion and gardens that guests can explore. There are also shops, a restaurant, and a cafe available for use by tour guests. The return trip into Dublin passes dramatic mountain landscapes, including The Scalp, a rocky valley full of boulders and cliffs.
