“Edger was absolutely out of this world(excuse the pun 😁) the bus was impressively kitted out. Edger was the star of the show his delivery and enthusiasm just made the tour for us. Far better than the London and Edinburgh ghost bus. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to hours of fun and scares 😁”

“Guides were great and able to pivot quickly due to Dublin Castle being closed and completely off limits (it’s also 60% of the tour) Viator should have noted this on their site, since the entire city knew the Castle was closed for the New Year’s celebrations. Would think twice before recommending during the holidays.”
