in short, i was on the wrong tour, only unfortunately it seems there isn't another one you can do, to explore the asylum. Our guide's presentation became tedious very quickly (repeated 'hmmmm''s at the end of each ghost story she told), several 'facts' she told were dubious (expression 'round the bend' long predates the Yarra River Bend!), showed us a...

I wouldn't call this a tour, I'd call it an experience. Situated in the grounds and buildings of the old Mayday Hills Lunatic Asylum, this tour is enough to scare the pants off anyone. You don't need to have a supernatural experience to be spooked as the buildings alone have a creepy feeling. Whilst intentionally theatrical, the guide had a... More

We went on this tour tonight, I knew a staff member who worked in this place for a considerable length of time who had some good stories about the place, an old mental asylum. I was personally very disappointed in this tour, the guide was very theatrical and very up close and personal on many occasions invading your personal space.... More

As locals we decided to try this tour out because we had heard lots of good things. The scariest part was possibly driving through darkened clifftops in order to reach Beechworth at the right time (midnight) but that was an adventure in and of itself. The tour begins outside the asylum and as you are led through the narrow doors... More
