Towong cemetery original - Andrew was a great host. I did this tour almost 20 years ago and it's still just a good. I've done multiple tours with this company over the years. Boggo road gaol, Dutton Park cemetery and Ipswich cemetery. Always a good experience. Boggo road petition signed

Great ghost stories while searching Toowong Cemetery by torchlight. - We did the Toowong Cemetery Ghost tour on Friday 1st August with a great tour guide, I think his name was Andrew. Going through the cemetery by tour rich was eerie and our guides ghost stories were dramatic and enhanced the experience. Loved the stories and the great way that they were told. Found the tour through the cemetery well paced and a not too steep, especially for my older mother. Great night and a different thing to do around Brisbane. Remember to take your own torch or use the light on your mobile phone. No parking at Toowong Cemetery gates where you meet. Part in the side streets as outlined in the booking email from the company.

Great guide adds to the spooky and fun vibe - Charismatic guide Andrew brings the perfect energy to this tour. He offers a friendly greeting to each group upon arrival, chats while waiting for others to arrive, and then comes the booming voice that is a mix of reverent gravitas and charming entertainer. The curated stories are well-researched, spooky, amusing, creepy, and fun. Between story stops while wandering through the beautiful cemetery, Andrew engages with interested guests, including my two tween/teen "junior spooks" (aka "ghost bait"). I highly recommend this night out for those who love ghost stories, something a bit different, history, and/or a unique view of Brisbane. I look forward to booking into other tours with Andrew in future.

Good experience - You’ll be walking up and down the hill, so you need to wear comfortable shoes. The guide was knowledgeable.
