Overview

Melbourne’s history is rich with legendary figures – many of them cursed with tragic endings. Explore one of three supernaturally charged sites as your guide spins tales of the restless souls who are said to haunt the city. If you select the Old Melbourne or Williamstown tours, an optional upgrade includes a pre-tour dinner at an atmospheric pub where ghost sightings abound.

An easy walking tour,...

Natalia_T, Mar 2025

An easy walking tour, with a great balance of history and spookiness, made for an enjoyable evening in Melbourne's CBD. Very interesting overall and the guide injected dramatic flair into her knowledgeable presentation.

Ghost and history in one!

Done a few ghost tours and this one was hands down the best so far. Charlotte was our amazing guide who not only shared amazing stories of historical facts about Melbourne.

More of a Nighttime City Tour Than a Ghost Tour – Disappointing

Camper40854974778, Feb 2025

We were really looking forward to a thrilling and spooky ghost tour in Melbourne, but unfortunately, there was nothing scary about it. Instead of chilling ghost stories, we got more of a nighttime city tour with a few local anecdotes—nothing that would send shivers down your spine. Our guide was friendly, but unfortunately quite difficult to understand, making it even harder to get into the atmosphere. The stories themselves weren’t particularly exciting or well told. A quick glance at the faces of the other participants said it all: most looked more bored than entertained. If you’re expecting a real ghost or horror tour, you’ll likely be disappointed. However, if you’re simply looking for a casual city walk at night with some local stories, this might still be okay. But for the price, we definitely expected more.

Poor Information from trip advisor

A6890MMandrewh, Jan 2025

We booked this several days ahead for my son and I. Trip Advisor sent us a confirmation email stating the meeting place for the Williamstown tour was 1 Swanston Street at 8.30pm. No one was there at that time so I called the number provided. A lady stated that I was at the correct place. A minute later a tour guide called and asked if we were still coming on the tour. I stated yes but no one was at the meeting point. She asked where we were and I advised we were at Swanston Street, Melbourne as per instructions. The tour guide then said the meeting point was in Williamstown, not Melbourne. We had received incorrect information from Trip Advisor and we should ask for a refund. I immediately rang Trip Advisor and requested this. 30 minutes later I was told my refund was declined as they could not substantiate that the tour operator had tried to call me. I won't ever be using Trip Advisor again. I'm sure the tour would have been great.
