5.00Amazing evening, well worth a visit! A fascinating mix of heritage stories combined with ghostly tales, really well narrated and delivered by our guide! Would definitely recommend! Really well timed and with 24 in the group it didn't feel overly busy.
Great ghost stories while searching Toowong Cemetery by torchlight.

5.00We 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.
