Great tour with great characters! Yes, it is a bit cheesy, yes, it is a bit crazy, which is indeed what makes it so wonderful! Cuilvhm (whose name I am misspelling terribly) did a great job providing great facts and fun history with just a touch if creepiness. A true delight, and a romping fun evening!
Oh wow. I'm sorry, but it was really awful. The bus was hot, corny, and smelly. The windows were all blacked out to make it creepy but it was just a bummer not to see outside. The story teller was overly enthusiastic to the point where none of us could understand what he was saying because he was either yelling or whispering. The little bits that we could understand, the stories were not very interesting, though hard to tell when you miss 60-70. The tour consisted of getting on and off at places around the city, and then an unintelligible story told in front of a building or cemetery. The ghoulish brew is a shot of Naked juice -- not alcohol. Beer is offered, but you have to pay for it. There was no coupon for a free walking tour. The only redeeming quality was when the main tour guide/character went off script and did a little improv and it was quite funny. Overall though, I wish I had left the tour early.
Entertaining and goofy, I really enjoyed this tour. We stopped at the Kilmainham Gaol, the old City Walls, the Glasnevis Cemetery, and the Gravediggers' Pub. The actors / guides were informative, hilarious, and engaging. It definitely helps that we ended up with a group of good sports.
Great nights entertainment. Night bus was very cleverly decorated and atmospheric. The story teller was engaging and kept the evening flowing well. Would recommend this to anyone staying a few days in Dublin.
Recommended! Fun way to hear about the darker side of Dublin's history and folk stories. The atmosphere and aesthetic were great, the actors are true performers. The actors were super professional, handling a few drunk travellers on the bus really well to ensure they didn't ruin the experience.
