It is much easier to call us directly. Andrew tried to call you on Saturday 24th March as soon as he saw... More

We didn’t get to enjoy the Old Melbourne Ghost Tour we had paid for as I was unwell with a migraine. I called and spoke to Sandra in regard to our booking for the night of a Thursday evening 8.30pm tour and explained my reason was of valid and legitimate truth. I understand most tours probably fill up however since... More

This was our first time on a ghost tour. The guide was very informative and she took us to some interesting places that we didn't know that existed, considering we go to Williamstown often. Worth doing or great as a gift idea. Will consider doing more ghost tours in the near future. More

Arthur was our guide, unfortunately he did not have enough time to get into costume which would have added another dimension to the tour. He certainly knew the history about Melbourne although there were some facts I will be researching. It would have been beneficial if he wore some type of microphone as he was hard to hear unless you... More

Excellent tour, went for a girls night and we all loved it. The history of Melbourne was fascinating, our guide Jeremy was FULL of extra information, and the ghost stories gave us some goose bumps, although it was hard to be really scared given the city is so lit up all the time. Overall it was an awesome night made... More
