The Gravedigger Ghost Tour
Dublin is not a city without scars. On the Gravedigger Ghost Tour, travel back to when the plague ravaged the land nearly 600 years earlier.

To a time when the old Augustinian Priory was in operation and the plague houses were overflowing; the guide is all too familiar with the latter! Follow a plague victim and his ghoulish friends from Trinity College throughout Dublin as they tell the dark history of Dublin.
