    This was so much fun, especially in the dark ( daylight savings means you need to book the later tour. Our guide “Glen” was phenomenally good at what he does and I had the heebeejeebies the whole time . As did my daughter who’s birthday was that day ( turned ten). She asked, “ when can we do this again?”.. looks like we will be returning for round two 🤣👻.

    Was very fun and engaging tour. The tour guides are so passionate with their story telling and how much they try setting the tone and the scene for the tour.. they share some incredible stories whether yoh believe in ghost or just cringe hearing the horrific history.. just Come open minded, but also plan for weather..

  • An interesting spooky experience!

    The Port Arthur ghost tour is not as ‘scary’ as you may think. The stories are informative and a little spooky but all in good fun. Our guide knew his stuff and had been taking ghost tours for 27 years. Tours are best done in the dark so in Summer the latest tour time would be my pick. A bit of walking involved but easy walking with frequent stops and some ground is uneven. A unique experience that I’d recommend.

  • Loved the 'ghostly' stories!

    Despite being a ghost tour, this tour isn't overly scary, the stories are informative and great to listen to, Todd did a good job! Best to be done in the dark for maximum ghostly effects (we did it at 8.20pm in January and it was still light). Easy walking distance, must stay with the group at all times, you do not have to pay separate entry to Port Arthur.

  • Enjoyable Event

    Tara was a great enthusiastic tour guide. The group had some good laughs and scares throughout the tour. Many participants became nervous at various points including myself.

  • Good fun, great lighting at night

    Well worth doing, be advised this is a ghost tour so if you are just looking for a general history/walk around tour, go during the day and book one of those guided tours (we did this as well). Anna was our guide, very engaging and enthusiastic about the story telling. Our teenage kids liked the couple of jump scares and were creeped out walking around in the dark by latern, had a great time/mission accomplished.

  • Worth doing.

    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.
