- S9480WDsallyk0 contributionsToowong Cemetery the original.Our tour was fantastic very informative. Andrew was such a wonderful guide full of stories and historical facts. Even a thunderstorm didn’t stop us in fact added to the evening. Thanks again. Already looking at booking another tour.😀Written 28 December 2024
- madkat9890 contributionsA Halloween experience not to miss!A great experience, Glory was personable and professional and very knowledgable. A thoroughly good experience. I do have a suggestion, would it be possible to consider a crime or history tour of Toowong Cemetery? I have done both ghost tours for Toowong cemertery now and there is just so much history left to learn!Written 12 November 2024
- Carol D0 contributionsA night to be had!!!Throughly enjoyed our evening, loved the stories and history, our guides were very informative with an added bit of scare!Written 10 September 2024
- Paynez0 contributionsA night out with the Toowong Cemetery Ghost TourWe arrived at Toowong Cemetery to be greeted warmly by Andrew and commenced an entertaining and informative two hour tour. The approximately thirty included family and friendship groups of varied ages, and couples like us. The walk was full of historical facts shared with humour and an expert dramatic touch. I recommend the tour for an out of the ordinary night out of fun, local historical snippets, photo opportunities and a gentle walk. Andrew and his first time guide True were just great, and kept the group engaged and on the right paths! Thank you! If attending, please remember to wear appropriate footwear for uneven ground, and also be aware there are a couple decent inclines that you can take a your pace.Written 1 September 2024
- stbryanw0 contributionsCreepy and very well doneVery creepy tour with lots of very interesting stories. Also, the twins who were guiding it did a great job building atmosphere.Written 12 August 2024
- stbryanw0 contributionsBest ghost tour ive ever seen.This was one of the best ghost tours I’ve ever seen. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. The gnarled trees and ancient graves make the cemetery look exactly like a hunted cemetery should.Written 12 August 2024
- allanhO6429QE0 contributionsFun, creepy, informative, enjoyable!The sheer size of the Toowong cemetery was astounding! Coupled with the amount of intricate detail and craftsmanship that was used on some of the sculptures and tombs showed the time and love that was used to preserve the memory of loved ones as early as the 1800s. Andrew our Tour guide for the night was not only knowledgeable and informative while explaining some of the history behind the tombs of some very predominant people from the past that lay at rest at Toowong cemetery but also delivered the stories with flare and excitement, truely the best man fitted to perform the role of a ghost tour guide. Thanks for the fun and creepy stories!!! Totally recommend this if you like a little bit of the out of the ordinary 😁🤟Written 19 July 2024
- lizleadbetter0 contributionsGreat tour and knowledgeable tour guideSuch a great tour. Andrew gave us a full rundown and kept us all entertained. Very informative and detailed history, with some eerie bits thrown in. We will do more. Highly recommended.Written 23 June 2024
- R8813IWkrystalm0 contributionsGreat tour, great guide!Such a fun night. It was a great tour with loads of historic info and ghost stories. Andrew the guide was amazing and really gives the tour extra character.Written 23 June 2024
- paulsH2896VJ0 contributionsexcellent experiencewas a really enjoyable tour ... excellent guide ... great location ... note: the previous year, we did the Goodna Cemetery Ghost Tour = we rated this one even better, as it was "deathly quiet" (no traffic noises) AND very dark (no city lights).Written 26 May 2024
- teresapyne0 contributionsToowong Original - Awesome experienceOur guide Andrew was great. He was knowledgeable about the cemetery and it's occupants, including some who were not part of the tour. He made it interesting and enjoyable. My friend from Melbourne was very impressed and so was I. We have now done 90% of the ghost tours available through Brisbane Ghost Tours and they have all been an exciting adventure for us.Written 20 April 2024
- Voyager277611352060 contributionsNundah Cemetery Tour - Great tours & keeping our history alive.Jack’s knowledge & stories on the history of not only the residents of the Nundah cemetery but also Brisbane & Qld is astounding. We love being on the tours he runs. We have done over 10 tours with Jack & the team and will continue to support this great company in preserving our history.Written 14 April 2024
- C4637EJjm0 contributionsBook now!Not our first spectral rodeo with the company - and although we've loved every tour, this was by far the best. Andrew was our guide for the night and he was just brilliant. He had an obvious love and enthusiasm for the cemetery and its history, he was authoritative and personable, and incorporated the perfect proportions of drama and humour. It was a rainy evening, where the cloud cover meant the moon lit up the cemetery beautifully. I don't think the showers upset or deterred any of our group's enjoyment or engagement at all. Andrew held everyone's attention and we didn't feel rushed at all. Can't recommend this tour highly enough: and we're already planning which one to book next.Written 6 April 2024
- Shendelle H0 contributionsDefinitely recommendedWe thoroughly enjoyed our night. We have done many ghost tours around Australia and overseas, and your tours always rate highly with us. We love the true life stories, the highly researched backgrounds of the ppl who are buried there. It's been a long time between drinks worth your tours. The last one we did was the last sleepover at boggo road. We would love to go back there! Last night was amazing. There was so much activity. We captured many things in photos that are very clear. Thank you for offering these tours. It's highly educational and very enjoyable.Written 31 March 2024
- Charmaine T0 contributionsIt was every interesting and enjoyable trueThe tour guide was very very interesting and full of history and knowledge about the front side of the Toowong Cemetery will have to do the tour on the other side which is the back end of the Toowong cemeteryWritten 23 March 2024

On a Sunday night a group of ghost hunters gathered under the shadow of the city clock eager to hear the stories that Jack can tell you. Over 2 hours we wandered comfortably to 5-6 prearranged destinations where ghost stories exist in the older buildings of Brisbane’s south end. Always watching behind ourselves or checking our reflection shop windows, no encounters were had save for some possible footsteps at one location . We heard about some history of Brisbane’s early years, and learnt about the real characters that form some of the ghost stories.
While the cemetery tours are said to be more spooky, we were all a little on edge being in some quiet spots in the CBD where figures have been seen. An entertaining evening with Jack the guide who has a wealth of experience in chasing information.

Hi Julian, thank you for your wonderfully written review! We are so glad that you and your group of ghost hunters had an entertaining evening, and possibly had a ghostly experience as well! The Haunted Brisbane CBD Ghost Tour definitely has some quiet spooky spots despite being in the heart of the city, and we are thrilled to hear that it put your group on edge - we always try to deliver authentic ghostly experiences. We greatly appreciate your support, and will pass on the compliments to Jack. We hope to see you on another one of our tours soon!

I had an excellent experience on this tour! King George Square was pretty crowded with a Christmas show the evening that I attended, and our tour started a little late because the tour guide was waiting on the other customer that booked in who he could not find. I didn’t mind waiting because it was so packed in King George Square that i almost couldn’t find the guide myself! In the end, he couldn’t get a hold of the other customer and I ended up having an unexpected private tour experience! The guide was great at his job, full of charisma and fascinating facts about the haunted history of Brisbane. the pancake manor was pretty spooky, we knocked on the door of the bell tower (the key was lost decades ago - no one can get in) and i swear i could hear something behind it - and i’m no big believer in ghosts! overall, i had a great time and am looking forward to doing more ghost tours with this company - i appreciate the seamless merging of history with ghostly themes & i found that the guide was caring, professional and very personable.

This was my third and final ghost tour during my visit to Australia. Not to demean the others, but it was the best! Packed with details, some true and some possibly urban legends, Nat kept us enthralled for the entire two hours. I won’t spoil the ending but it was the cherry on top of the cake for me! A great night out whether you’re a sceptic, a believer or on the fence.

The stories weren’t terribly scary or even very haunted in general. It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours in the evening and hear some stories of the city’s history. The guide was a bit soft-spoken, which made it hard to hear some the stories over the traffic and others in the street.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the historical aspect of the tour but sorry to hear the stories weren't as spooky as expected and that the guide's volume was an issue. We'll work on these points to improve future experiences. Thank you again for your input!

My partner and I went on the Haunted Brisbane CBD tour earlier this week, even though the tour group was small the tour still went ahead and wasn’t cancelled, Andrew our guide was amazing. The way he tells the stories is like no other. We will definitely be going again soon! I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for something different to do, the bonus you learn about the history our own backyard holds

Joined our intimate group on a Tuesday night with Andrew as our guide. He was very welcoming when we arrived at our meeting point and I found him to be very knowledgeable on each of the sites he took us to.
I highly recommend Ghost Tours Australia and Andrew as your guide. The Haunted Brisbane CBD Ghost Tour was well worth the money and the time.
If you are a believer of the paranormal…..you will feel the presence of the spirits at each of the locations.

The Brisbane CBD Ghost Tour was something we immediately wanted to do as we have done it in many other cities in Australia. It’s a great way to learn about the history of Brisbane but also some of its darker side. Andrew was a very knowledgeable guide and he put plenty of character into his tales. It’s very affordable and a great way to see some of the city at night. Would definitely recommend!

My partner and I were visiting from Perth and we wanted to learn some history about Brisbane. Our tour leader was Natalie on the Haunted Brisbane CBD tour. She was absolutely amazing and had us captivated the whole tour. We learnt so much about the city’s bloody history. We cannot speak highly enough of Nat and the tour. Recommend it for tourists and Brisbane locals. Thank you!

A 2 hour tour for two that Andrew pulled out his best moments of getting into character as he related moments of terrifying ghost stories related to real life Brisbane history.
