A night out with the Toowong Cemetery Ghost Tour - We arrived at Toowong Cemetery to be greeted warmly by Andrew and commenced an entertaining and informative two hour tour. The approximately thirty included family and friendship groups of varied ages, and couples like us. The walk was full of historical facts shared with humour and an expert dramatic touch. I recommend the tour for an out of the ordinary night out of fun, local historical snippets, photo opportunities and a gentle walk. Andrew and his first time guide True were just great, and kept the group engaged and on the right paths! Thank you! If attending, please remember to wear appropriate footwear for uneven ground, and also be aware there are a couple decent inclines that you can take a your pace.

Best ghost tour ive ever seen. - This was one of the best ghost tours I’ve ever seen. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. The gnarled trees and ancient graves make the cemetery look exactly like a hunted cemetery should.

Fun, creepy, informative, enjoyable! - The sheer size of the Toowong cemetery was astounding! Coupled with the amount of intricate detail and craftsmanship that was used on some of the sculptures and tombs showed the time and love that was used to preserve the memory of loved ones as early as the 1800s. Andrew our Tour guide for the night was not only knowledgeable and informative while explaining some of the history behind the tombs of some very predominant people from the past that lay at rest at Toowong cemetery but also delivered the stories with flare and excitement, truely the best man fitted to perform the role of a ghost tour guide. Thanks for the fun and creepy stories!!! Totally recommend this if you like a little bit of the out of the ordinary 😁🤟
