“We were in Dublin right before Halloween and this was the perfect spooky fun activity! Sean was the best, friendliest ghost guide and kept the group entertained and engaged in the ghoststories with enthusiasm and interactive shenanigans up and down the bus aisle, and at each stop, making sure everyone had a great time! The group was immersed in the silliness but still had quite a few jump scares! His fellow ghost accomplice (Matt I think) was just as fun to find at our various spots along the way with his own spooky apparences! Tony the Driver kept us safe and rolling along our ghostly journey. A fun evening activity…”
