Old Melbourne Ghost Tour

  • Walking tour
  • Events

Embark on a spine-chilling walking tour back in time and explore the rich paranormal realm of Old Melbourne.

Journey back to a time when the spices of Chinatown masked the smoke of the opium dens, poor houses supplied bodies in the name of advancing medical science and famous opera singer Federici gave his most dramatic performance, plummeting to death in front of his audience.
