This was a really good experience. The host was great, very spiritual but not over the top. It's a shame that there were so many rude people trying to be funny and talk over the top of her, but she definitely handled it well.

Wonderful tour! So much fun! Guide was great, lots of historical information. Highly recommend for teens that love the macabre, my daughter loved it!

Best ghost tour of the town, couldn't recommend this enough, both Sandra and Graham did an amazing job with the tour and shared so much insite into the history of the place. A few ghostly experiences enough to make the hairs stand up. Overall 10/10..

Thor was our guide. He was wonderful and kind. He has good stories to tell and points out where ghosts have been seen. He was a good host, and took the extra time to wait five minutes for a group that was confused about where to meet. Then also made a stop where people could use the toilet.

Definitely not a spooky "ghost" tour if that's what you're after but a nice way to explore the back streets of The Rocks and hear some interesting stories of events that are part of The Rocks colourful history. The archaeological dig of the homes demolished during the years of the plague was an unexpected addition and probably worth a revisit in the daylight, if time permitted. Our guide Georgia was very enthusiastic and quite theatrical in her delivery of the tour. She allowed plenty of time at the photo-opportunity spots and kept the walking to an appropriate pace taking into consideration all of the group. There were some stairs involved and plenty of cobblestoned streets, but overall the tour should be manageable for both old and young.

J Ward was a psychiatric institution in Ararat. J Ward was mainly for the criminally insane. Since the inpatients were transferred to other institutions, J Ward has been opened up for ghost tours. This former "lunatic asylum" is a reminder of the ethical challenges involved in the mental health involved in this forensic mental hospital in Ararat. The ghost tour can be a bit alarming, but it arouses your interest and curiosity; it's definitely worthwhile.

This Altona Homestead ghost tour, with bright lanterns, is very entertaining. Altona Homestead was built in 1842, a pioneering property that has since served many useful purposes. Altona is an outer suburb. The bluestone residence has much to see at night. The homestead is near Port Philip Bay, almost on the waterfront. These days, it is the headquarters of the Altona Laverton Historical Society. Altona Homestead is 20 km (12 km) from the Melbourne CBD by car. By the way, a fee is charged, you can book on-line. It's popular with younger visitors.

Not recommended,tour guide walked to fast,left group to find own way,history stories were to long and boring,This tour is just a money maker,don’t waste your money on this tour.

A great history lesson about the place and some people that were there, No scary stuff occurred while we were there but still it was a fun night

It was definitely an experience for the whole family to enjoy. The 2 hours night tour was very well paced for time. Watching the short video of actual inmates truely bought the moment to life. One of my group was fortunate to feel a spirit in the kitchen area.

Beautiful homestead, history and surrounding land. Great host, well guided. Shame for the group of disrespectful idiots that decided to "party" halfway through that ruined it for the rest of the group. If I knew this demographic were on the tour I would not have booked and was on verge of demanding my money back or move my booking to another session.

Bought tickets, organised accommodation in Ararat, took time off work, drove from Melbourne, turned up early for tour, there was no one there. Tour had been cancelled and we weren’t informed. Really disappointed, rang on return to Melbourne, no one could help, no one would even refund my money!

Jake was a very good guide. The sites were all very interesting. Not a super spooky ghost tour if that is what you're after, but the stories that were told were all told wonderfully. We unfortunately took our tour during Vivid which meant that the area was very crowded and sometimes it was hard to hear. Another family bought a lot of light up flashy sword with them that their kids waved around the whole tour as well which did kind of kill the vibe for our group but booking this tour during Vivid was our mistake so no points off the tour group for that one. I would recommend that items such as those are turned off or asked to be turned off out of respect for other tour goers though. Lots of walking through interesting alley ways in the rocks and overall an enjoyable experience on the tour groups part 😊 would definitely recommend.

We had a great group of people and funny, informative and friendly guides. Very entertaining and informative night out.

Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend you do this tour as well as Aradale. The history behind J-Ward and the inmates is something we should all learn about. Respect the history for the time it was open.
