A Halloween experience not to miss! - A great experience, Glory was personable and professional and very knowledgable. A thoroughly good experience. I do have a suggestion, would it be possible to consider a crime or history tour of Toowong Cemetery? I have done both ghost tours for Toowong cemertery now and there is just so much history left to learn!

Fun night - Thank you for the valuable information on the history of Toowong Cemetery. It was a fun night as well as being in entertaining in the ghost stories. It is a beautiful part of Brisbane.

Worth every minute! - The host was extremely good, knowledgable and a fantastic storyteller - couldnt fault the experience whatsoever. Interactive too which is WAY better - having a chance to be involved one step closer to the haunted sights. Will do again when next in Brisbane!

Fantastic entertainment and spooky stories! - Our guide was FANTASTIC! He showed up and identified our group, he let us know that we would be waiting until precisely the appointed time before departing on the tour. At which point, he took up a post facing the Brisbane Arcade (in full costume) and stared ahead as if on pause. We were highly entertained by watching the passersby getting unnerved by his out-of-place presence. Our guide remained in character the entire time, which was fabulous, and the stories were delivered with great affect and detail, any who listen and have any belief in the supernatural would definitely feel the creep of cold going up their spines multiple times through the presentation. It was great way to see the city and learn more about the lesser known parts of Brisbane's history. I definitely plan on doing some of the other tours.

Could have been a lot better - This poor review is NOT for 'The Other Side' Ghost Tour. I think they need to show very clearly on their booking site that 2 tours run at the same time on the same night, but from different entry points. We all thought we had tickets in the same thing, but it turned out we didn't. The 'Goth' looking gentleman at the main gates welcomed us all onto his tour.
I'm not sure if the 2 tours are run the same way. But what our group agreed we didn't like was that we got to 'see' very little. It would have been much more enjoyable if he'd had a decent light and lit up the grave /memorial he was talking about while he spoke. Instead we spent long periods of 10-15 minutes at a time standing still in the dark, seeing nothing, and listening to him recite in an uncomfortably loud unpleasant voice, overlong boring tales.
I would recommend use your normal voice (it was much nicer), light up the subject your talking about while you're talking, and shine the light while you're walking on some of the other beautiful monuments graves etc so the group can see them, shorten the stories by half, and perhaps not word for word for whats written in the pamphlet. That cemetery has lots of bones in it, there must be more interesting factual stories about the people in it surely.
The goth guide, was a nice touch. He himself was lovely, but I'd prefer to have him speak to us in his own voice, rather than shouting aggressively at us. If he spoke normally, cut the stories in half time wise, use a decent light to light up interesting features, and the subject he's talking about, it would have been a much more entertaining tour.
The most entertaining bit was when 2 people (who clearly thought the place would provide a bit of privacy for them) tried to sneak away among the trees forming dark shapes in the background, and then found to get out they had to walk through our group.
I recommend you revamp this tour, as in it's current presentation format I couldn't recommend it.

Save your money - The male staff was extremely rude not even a hello before he was upset with us for being in the wrong place then 12 people all driving around looking for a girl standing in the dark under a tree in all black in a side rd with ni sign light Indicating where to go then they were both clearly annoyed as we overheard then complaining we didn’t know where to go . Maybe a hi how are you sorry you didn’t find us but welcome then when we approached to ask were we in the right spot to be cut off and said il be with you in a moment while they were winging was very uncomfortable I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone drWn out weird voice condescending tone for 2 hrs with no sense of fun or a inclusion of the group was just not worth the over 1 hr drive and $45 to do sorry would definitely not recommend
