Ghosts, Murder & Mystery & Best Insta Spots Tour - Melbourne

Highlights

  • Discover the darker side of Old Melbourne
  • Hosted by genuine paranormal enthusiasts
  • Historical and ghostly tour

Explore Melbourne’s hidden alleyways, where Chinatown’s spices hid opium smoke, poorhouses supplied bodies to science, and Jack the Ripper evaded police. Hear the chilling tale of opera singer Federici’s final act. Includes best Insta spots

What's included?

  • 1.5 - 2 hour ghost tour of Old Melbourne
  • Costumed ghost host and informative commentary

Departs from outside Young & Jackson Hotel Corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street Venture into the dark heart of old Melbourne, where the shadows of the past still linger in every alleyway. Step back to a time when the sweet scent of Chinatown’s spices masked the bitter smoke drifting from hidden opium dens, and the city’s poorest were sacrificed in the name of “science”—their bodies sold from poorhouses to medical schools under the cover of night. Visit the very alleyways where Jack the Ripper is rumoured to have hidden from the Metropolitan Police, his dark legacy trailing him across continents and through time. Hear the haunting tale of famed opera singer Frederick Federici, who gave his final and most chilling performance at the Princess Theatre—vanishing beneath the stage as he plummeted to his death before a stunned audience. Some say he never left. Uncover a Melbourne most will never see—one of betrayal, tragedy, and restless spirits still calling from beneath the cobbles

The Old Melbourne Ghost Tour With Dinner

Irene 27 February 2024

Our experience was great. Had a lovely dinner at the Young & Jackson Hotel in the city before doing our Ghost Tour with Lyn. Going through the alley ways and learning what had happened there . We got to use the rods to see if there were any ghosts in which we did. I would highly recommend this tour and l would even do it again. Love ghost hunting.

Ghost tour Melbourne

TG 29 September 2023

Was Just OK. Not sure whether it was a ghost tour. More like a walk around some city streets. Dinner and Y&J was lovely.

Fun & informative tour around the city.

Belinda 18 September 2023

We took the tour on a Saturday night when Melbourne's night life was at its peak - it certainly made for an interesting night! Our whole party was impressed by our guides knowledge & we learned a lot about local history, architecture, landmarks & some of Melbourne's more sordid history. We will definitely be taking their other tours in the future.
