    What a wonderful experience! The Williamstown Lantern Ghost Tour is an absolute must, if you are visiting Williamstown for the first time. So much local history and the right amount of scary storytelling and paranormal activity. Linda was our guide, and she was engaging and knowledgeable.

    We did the Old Melbourne Town Ghost Tour and included the meal in Young and Jackson's restaurant and it was one of our favourite experiences in Melbourne. The tour guide (I think her name was Chloe) was the best and really informative. My daughter and I enjoyed trying out the divining rods and felt a little freaked out. Would definitely recommend booking this and including the meal if you can afford it, it's well worth the money. The food was 5 star and the staff were so friendly. Would definitely look at doing another one when we're back in Melbourne

    We did the tour around Melbourne. Julie was a lovely guide but half the time we couldn't hear her. She didn't talk loud enough, or if she turned her head to the opposite side from where we stood, couldn't hear a thing. Or she would talk backwards, pointing out things behind her, again we couldn't hear a thing. I recommend her wearing an audio device going forward, it would make a huge difference

    We did the Old Melbourne Ghost Tour on 6.4.24 and it was so much fun. Our guide Chloe was great. She was so friendly, informative and a really captivating storyteller. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you :)

    We did the Williamstown tour with Linda on the evening of Australia day. It was a very informative tour and I personally had a few unexplained incidents happen to me. John (the ghost in the tower) made an appearance using the divining rods, and the younger ones on the tour made things even more interesting using the ghost tube app, and seeing figures appear where no one from the group could possibly be! All in all it was a fun night with a great group. Remember to wear good walking shoes!
