More of a history tour. Much of the walk was poorly lit maybe good to have a couple more lanterns. It would have been good to go into some of the places instead of just looking at the outside of a building

Loved the tour! Most of all loved that we got to see the pics of others who have gone on the tour! I also enjoyed the stories of the prisoner's who were once celled there. I would highly recommend doing it.

Be aware that this tour is located about 30 minutes outside of the city. We took an uber, but the alternative with the train would have taken awhile. I have been on ghost tours in other parts of the world, and this was by far the creepiest. You learn about the history of the prison, but the tour also aims to create an element of fear, if you like that kind of stuff, this is for you! I found it slightly misleading that it stated it was in Melbourne, but farther out from the city center,

More history, than ghost. Need better instructions on how to meet tour guide. Maybe a sign to direct people. Guide needs to also carry sign, umbrella etc. so the tourists can follow them easily. Had trouble seeing him in the crowds of people.

A very informative tour guide who was great at setting the tone for the evening. We had a party of 9 for our daughter's 18th birthday, and everyone enjoyed the tour and all the information of the histroy we just did not realise of our city. Not really that spooky given how busy the city was, but still a lot of fun.
