Great experience. Our tour guide was Jacqueline who was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. I recommend this tour as the cemetery is very old and you'll be surprised how unique it is compared to most other cemeteries. She knew how to make it more interesting by engaging with the guests and inviting them to volunteer if they wanted to participate in little ways as part of the tour. Great stories but sorry, no ghost sightings reported on the night. :)

Our guide, Stu, really made this a great experience. Stu was very knowledgeable and so respectful to where we were. So often these tours are all about the scare factor with little respect to where they are or the people that these 'ghosts' once were. I loved how much the guide knew about the graves we visited, and the comments made around respecting those and not letting those people be forgotten almost made me cry... and little Hector and the reason he is visited on this tour is heartbreaking but shows the respect that the team at the Goodna Cemetery Ghost Tour have for people laid to rest there. It was a great night, and the research that had been undertaken by the team make it a great experience. Oh, and there are ghosts to be found! I got one in a pic! Do yourself a favour and join a tour. I dont think you will leave disappointed! Ghosts or no ghosts in the night you visit, it will be a great way to spend a few hours!
