What Our Guests Say

Absolutely loved the tour! Andrew is a natural story teller with a quirky sense of humour. I loved learning about the history of Dunedin and walking the old streets after dark. It’s a great city for a ghost tour with those looming grey gothic buildings and the eerie lane ways. It truly lives up to its reputation of Edinburgh of the South. Thoroughly recommend doing this tour - can’t wait to do another one next time we are in Dunedin!

★★★★★
This was the most amazing ghost tour my family and I have ever been on. Andrew, our guide, was amazing. He really captivated us with the dark history of Dunedin and raised a few hairs on the back of our necks, particularly with a few of the stops. He made it so we ourselves were a part of the tour. Easily 5/5, reaching to an 8/5. I strongly recommend you go do this tour.

★★★★★
Our guide, Andrew, had a wealth of historical information gleaned over many years of professional experience. He also related numerous anecdotes of the ghostly experiences of tour guests, including experiences on the tour. Andrew is a true entertainer, and stylishly wears period dress. A most caring and considerate guide. His tours are a, “must do,” in Dunedin and his books are delightful.
