Had a ghost of a time!

Thoroughly enjoyed tour and would recommend to family and friends. I was born and bread in Melbourne and learned many things about city. Timea was a great guide and story teller - a hidden gem who clearly enjoys what she does.

Loved it

The tour was great, even if you aren't the biggest believer in spooky stuff, the history is always really interesting. Our tour guide was particularly good at dealing with the drunk hecklers that were wondering around after the cricket. Great atmosphere overall.

Depending on the booking...

Depending on the booking the group could be quite large. We thought a smaller group (e.g. maximum of 15) would have been better. The tour we did was not actually that spooky but some gruesome details were provided so if you think you're even slightly squeamish, don't do it. The guide was genuinely enthusiastic and did her best to get the group involved. The 'spiritual' divining rods certainly added a point of difference. Was something a bit different so was worth doing. It pays to go in with an open mind.

Quirky. Good meal ahead of the tour.

The tour starts with a meal at a local hotel, which was really quite good. Enough options from the set menu to satisfy most folks. Drinks were not included so are extra, but are reasonably priced. The quirky host was engaging, although a little more on the history of the places would be helpful. We only were able to actually enter two sites, so much of the tour is walking the streets. If you’re into this sort of thing, you might be a bit disappointed about that but overall I think it was worth the time. Watching the people who think it’s real, but are quite happy to make sure the little metal thingies are moving and pointing is always amusing.

Hi Rob , thanks for joining us on tour. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the meal option and the dark history we speak about on tour . Happy Haunting!

Interesting and insightful tour into the past

Firstly do go and enjoy a meal at the Young Jackson hotel which is the meeting point for the tour it’s a great atmosphere and really nice meals. I was lucky our tour was a small group and the tour intwines the history of Melbourne with those who do not want to leave, but have left us on this side so to speak. Overall it was my first tour and I really recommend it

Hi Peter , we are honored to be your first ghost tour experience and so very happy to hear your enjoyed the evening , Happy Haunting!
