Step back into the shadowy side of old Melbourne on this guided evening walking tour through the hidden alleyways and laneways of the city centre. Departing from outside the Young & Jackson Hotel at the corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street, the tour takes you to a time when the spices of Chinatown masked the smoke of the opium dens, when poorhouses supplied bodies in the name of advancing medical science, and when the famous opera singer Federici gave his most dramatic performance, plummeting to his death in front of his audience. Your guides are genuine paranormal enthusiasts who share the history of some of Victoria's most haunted locations as you walk. The tour lasts about 1.5 hours and covers a leisurely 2 km on flat paths, and it is open to guests aged 8 and over. Choose the tour on its own, a ticket for two, a family ticket, or a tour and dinner package for a complete night out in the city.
