Melbourne's not all flat whites and laneway graffiti. Beneath its polished veneer lies a shadowy past teeming with opium dens, body snatchers, and ghostly opera singers. Ready to swap your Netflix binge for a real-life thriller with the Old Melbourne Ghost Tour?
Your tour includes 2km of leisurely flat paths and kicks off from the Young & Jackson Hotel (Corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street). Not a bad spot for a beer just before if you ask us. And you can even add on a dinner option before hand at checkout to make sure you settle the nerves.
Scary richter scale for this one = Moderate.
What to Expect:
- Opium Dens and Body Snatchers: Discover the seedy underbelly of old Melbourne, where the line between science and crime was as blurry as a drunk's vision.
- Federici's Final Bow: Hear the tragic tale of the opera singer who took the phrase "break a leg" a bit too seriously.
- Ghostly Encounters: Feel the chills as you walk through sites where spirits are said to linger, possibly critiquing your outfit choices.
- Freaky Dinner: Enjoy a main meal, alcoholic or non alcoholic drink, a sweet & coffee before the tour at the Young & Jackson. The dinner option kicks off two hours prior at 6:30pm.
