Dave our tour guide was excellent, very informative but his general vibe made it exciting. 10/10 would do it again.

The tour guide rushed people along and walked off leaving people behind in the dark and did not notice. We wanted to hear about the history of the place but instead heard about everyone else's ghost stories that had visited in the past 10 minuted of that was on the builders and his apprentice that were working on the Pasters house. The scenery was amazing, you would not realised the horrific time people of the past experienced.

The history is good to hear and experience but otherwise it was boring to stand in cold and hear the stories which is easier on line nowadays.

A fun and enjoyable ghost tour. A look through some interesting old buildings and a very informative guide. I particularly loved the church and the story about the lady in blue. The gift store had some lovely items and all staff were great. Definitely rug up in the colder seasons as most of the tour is outdoors. Thankfully the rain held off.

Incredible experience with a fantastically enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Definitely more presence in the grounds than just the tour group and at 8pm, that’s a very funny feeling. If you open yourself up for a true experience and look and listen to the hidden secrets, it won’t be an experience soon forgotten. From knocks down hallways to cold breezes inside buildings, it’s definitely one to experience for yourself. Thanks so much to the team for putting on such an delight of a night!

I will start off by saying our guide Simon was a very good guide and story teller, that did not resort to cheap scare tactics. Why I gave an average rating is simply down to the factor that you spend the vast majority of the tour outside, and only visited two building interiors. The site has stopped going into the underneath of the surgeons cottage, and in the separate prison we got no time to explore, or experience the building.

My partner and I went on the ghost tour and had an enjoyable night. It was interesting learning about the stories and history of the place. Our guide was interactive and a great story teller, and made the tour fun. We will definitely come back to do the tour again next time we are in Tasmania.
