The Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour |
| 'This tour reveals a fascinating slice of Melbourne's history. To enjoy it most, come with comfortable shoes and an open mind' Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour review (America Online Travel Review, 21 May 2013) |
| 'An insight into Melbourne's ghosts past and present. We were not sure what to expect when we booked this tour. It was a great experience & a healthy, informative way to spend an evening. Make sure you have dinner before you set off as it didn't finish until 11.20pm. We started at 8.30pm & walked & walked! Much of what you see you would never find out yourself & it brings a new perspective to places. The tour guide/ bookshop owner is extremely passionate about his role as he leads you through all the back streets. Great value for money' Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour review (Trip Advisor, 15 Apr 2013) |
| 'Just went on this tour during our New Zealand/Australia cruise on Feb 27, 2013. ABSOULUTELY LOVED THIS TOUR! We started out at Drew Sinton's "Haunted Bookshop. I wish that I had more time to explore this wonderful store! The tour was approximately 2 hours walking the city and the dark alleys of Melbourne as Mr. Sinton told stories of ghost sightings and history occurring at each location. We also stopped at a local haunted restaurant for a snack during the tour. Mr. Sinton was very entertaining and knowledgeable of the citys dark past. I was very engaged and entertained throughout. His storytelling is fantastic!! Highly recommend' Paul LeHenry, Massachusets USA (Facebook comment, 6 Mar 2013) |
| 'Fun and informative. Had a great evening learning all about the back streets and ghosts of Melbourne. This was a fun way to spend an evening and with 50 of us on the tour (most non-believers/most from Melbourne itself) the tour guide pulled off a masterful job - always staying in character and being a fountain of knowledge on Melbourne's History. At $20 a head - it was well worth the money. Wear comfortable walking shoes though!' Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour review (Trip Advisor, 25 Feb 2013) |
| 'Hi Drew, thanks very much for the tour tonight, it was so informative and enjoyable. Loved learning about the stories of Melbourne in times gone by and current events. Your knowledge is absolutely incredible, and the tour was so fun and compelling. Thanks again, will be recommending the tour to friends and family' Kylie Harris, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 17 Feb 2013) |
| 'Loved the tour, thankyou for so much info on the history of Melbourne!! Was an interesting experience and looking forward to paying a visit to the State Library sometime next week:)' Nicki Alyce, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 7 Oct 2012) |
| 'I absolutely LOVED your Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour. Throughout the month of June I went on seven ghost tours, three cemetery tours and two gaol tours around Australia for the book I'm working on, and yours was, by far, the best one. I know you mentioned that a majority of the population craves entertainment more than knowledge, but you presented both equally well. Your mystique and use of humor made everything you said captivating and engaging. So many tour guides can lose the attention of patrons no matter how interesting the history or paranormal phenomenon that has taken place in presented areas. Their voice may get a bit monotone, they may speak too quickly for the information to impact patrons, and countless other factors. But with your tours, every moment was exciting and professional. I wish I was back in Melbourne so I could go on a few more!' Chris Kullstroem, US dark tourism writer and author of Making a Monstrous Halloween (Email, 2 Jul 2012) |
| 'Hi Drew, I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful night last Saturday! I have recommended your tour to friends and family!!! It was brilliant!' Brittany Walsh, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 28 Sep 2011) |

| 'My friends and I had a superb time last Saturday on the tour - a thoroughly enjoyable (and educational) birthday night - Thank you Drew' Jennifer Ratcliffe, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 30 Jun 2011) |
| 'Rumours that Drew concludes the night with the ritual sacrifice of the most virginal-looking member of the tour group are entirely without foundation. Probably' Owen Thomas Melbourne Walking Tour review (Hip Side Guides, 22 Jun 2011) |
| 'Hi Drew, after being a guest on your tour a few years ago tonight was just as amazing as it was back then. Thanks for a great night my partner and I really enjoyed it very informative and the laughs along the way are great too! Keep up the great work and I'm sure I'll be attending your tour again in the not too distant future!' Lauren Clements, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 26 Jun 2011) |
| 'Hi Drew. Just wanted to thank you again for your most excellent tour of Melbourne. The 'distracted teens' couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. And they did learn a few things. I certainly loved it and found it fascinating and now want to explore more about our Melbourne history. Oh I also have this pic here ... Once again thank you!' Eliza Ticknell, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 19 Jun 2011) |
| 'My Wife and I recently took part in The Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour on our honeymoon in Melbourne and had a great time - it certainly opened our eyes to a side of Melbourne we didn't expect to see. Since returning home we haven't been able to stop talking about the bookshop, the tour or Drew - it was definitely something to remember our trip by' Mickey Cristiano, Sydney NSW (Facebook comment, 1 Jun 2011) |
| 'The best ghost tour I've ever been on!!!!!' Karin Eames, Adelaide SA (Facebook comment, 26 Apr 2011) |
| 'Best ghost tour, and by far the best history lesson also. You will learn more about Melbourne's history in one night than you will in 13 years of schooling here in Victoria.' Akira Zosens, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 26 Apr 2011) |
| 'Hello Drew ... I would just like to express my gratitude, on how amazing last night's tour was!!! The way that you presented all the stories behind the scenes of all the places, was absolutely brilliant ... I am recommending it to all of my friends and people that I know, and I will be most definitely ... doing it again some time' Ang Elique, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 24 Apr 2011) |
| 'Hi Drew - myself and 3 others were on last night's tour (Easter sat) and loved it. I was wondering if you had any books about your tours and the history you tell during the tours. I would love to learn more. Any information would be great. Regards Rachel. Great tour by the way!!!' Rachel Sincock, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 24 Apr 2011) |

I have downloaded photos from my camera, low and behold, I have photos with Orbs and mist. Excellent photo of the same figure in -- as others, -- at the big tree also has a spirit presenting itself. Thanks again, a must for all Melburnians.' Harley Hill, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 10 Apr 2011) |

| 'Hi Drew - Thanks for a really great night - we all enjoyed the evening despite the rain. Looking forward to bringing some more friends along in the coming weeks.

| 'I was on your Haunted Ghost Tour on Saturday the 12th Feb and took some random pictures - some at--. In one of the pictures I took there appears to be the figure of a fair or gray haired gentleman with a 3/4 black jacket, with black trousers. I tried to bring it up close and I could see his eyes quite clearly. There also appears to be a figure on the other side of him, but not as clear. There was definitely nothing there when I took the shot. Many thanks for a great evening. It was very interesting and enjoyable' - Angie Wills, Melbourne VIC (Facebook email, 20 Feb 2011) |
| 'Hi Drew, thank you so much for a very interesting Saturday night! My friend and I were visiting from Adelaide and thoroughly enjoyed the tour' - Kirsty Simons, Adelaide SA (Facebook comment, 14 Feb 2011) |

| 'Melbourne Ghost Tour rules. I have been twice and would go every weekend if I could' - Kellie Nolc, Cranbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 18 Aug 2010) |
| 'With a lilting "Welcome aboard" and a wide-brimmed hat, Sinton is transformed into our supernatural guide, an elegant, swooping, camp mortician whose face is alive with raised eyebrows, eerie grins and unexpectedly long gazes into unsuspecting eyes ... What shines through most, however, is Sinton's love for Old Melbourne. He's as keen to point out lost history as hauntings, bemoaning the demolition of sites of significance through modernisation of the city. It means tourists and locals learn as much about the city's past as the afterlife' - James Smith, Melbourne VIC (Sunday Age review, 28 Mar 2010) |
| 'Me, my partner and a journalist friend of mine from NZ very much enjoyed the Haunted Melbourne tour on Saturday nite. I look forward to browsing the bookshop soon!' - Damian Wilson, Melbourne VIC (Myspace comment, 3 Mar 2010) |
| 'It was good to see a cross section of the population of all ages and backgrounds on the tour. Should have brought my camera to capture any ghosts. You also have the best range of Alchemy Gothic I have ever seen :)' - Susan Illingworth, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 28 Feb 2010) |
| 'Thanks for an awesome night on Saturday, Drew - it was a unique and insightful experience of the City I call home - and it couldn't have been told better than by someone as eccentric as you!' - Hayley Costanzo, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 18 Jan 2010) |
| 'I took your ghost tour a couple of years back and absolutely loved it. Hope it's still running as I'd love to go again' - Scott Brown, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 18 Jan 2010) |
| 'You do an awesome job on your tours - love them' - Dominic Leuzzi, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 10 Jan 2010) |
| 'Thank you for an excellent time tonight, it was really amazing to get to talk to you and get to know history about Melbourne's ghosts' - Jamie, Melbourne VIC (Myspace comment, 11 Jan 2009) |
| 'Thanks for a great tour ... I went on the 29th of November and really enjoyed it ... It was a great night and I love your shop too ... Soooo many books' - Tamara, Melbourne VIC (Myspace comment, 4 Dec 2008) |
| 'Saturday night's tour was great. I've been aware of the tour probably almost since you began, but there is that curse of being a local and thinking 'I must do that one day' and never getting around to it. When my friend who was visiting from Brisbane said the tour had been recommended to him, my daughter and I were more than happy to join him, and I'm so pleased we did. Anyway, with all the accolades you have, you don't need me to remind you what a great evening you deliver!' Winsome Bailey, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 10 Nov 2008) |
| 'Extremely fascinating - thank you very much' Sarah Powell, Melbourne VIC (Facebook comment, 9 Nov 2008) |

| 'Loved your tour - will go on it again and again and again!' Annie H, Melbourne VIC (Myspace comment, 29 Apr 2008) |
| 'Thanks heaps for a great tour last night. It was greatly informative, and you're a fantastic tour guide. A great way to start off the new year' - Pamela, Melbourne VIC (Myspace comment, 6 Jan 2008) |
| 'I have to say that tour last night was fabulous. I have been wanting to do it for a long time now and it didn't disappoint! The knowledge of Melbourne you have is awesome' - Jesse, Melbourne VIC (Myspace comment, 23 Dec 2007) |
| 'Hi Drew, I've been on your tours numerous times over the years and enjoyed each one immensely! Thanks for the work you do in bringing the paranormal to the public attention - which I know isn't always easy!' - Darren, Ghost Research International, Melbourne VIC (Myspace comment, 12 Dec 2007) |
| 'If you don't believe in ghosts then take the tour knowing you are in for a very hands-on historical tour of the city. If you do believe in what is out there, well then you might be surprised. I've lived in Melbourne for many years and it was fantastic to see the city through new eyes' - Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour review (Trip Advisor, 3 Dec 2007) |
| 'My hubby and I also did this tour a few years ago and also found this to be a fantastic tour - even on a historical level. There is so much in the CBD that we didn't know about that we learnt on this tour! The tour guide is awesome too - he fits the part so well!' - Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour review (Trip Advisor, 3 Dec 2007) |
| 'Thanks for a great tour, we haven't had that much fun since the Edinburgh ghost walk 8 years ago!' - Ben, Melbourne VIC (Email, 21 Oct 2007) |
| 'I love Drew's tour. You learn a lot about Melbourne, the history and things that you wouldn't normally hear about. The night we went, we did see something on a second story landing and the awful smell that came over the group ... I would recommend the tour to anyone' - Kevin, Melbourne VIC (Haunted Australia review, 13 Oct 2007) |
| 'Last Saturday I went on your Melbourne Ghost Tour and it was wonderful. I went with four other women and we had a blast! It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday. However, no matter how much I enjoyed the tour I must say that it was your bookshop that was the highlight of the whole experience. I have not seen such a well presented and cared for bookshop, well, ever. It was just so organised and had such a wide variety of books in such a small space. However that could be the future Librarian in me talking. Thank you for a wonderful time' - Ashley, Sydney NSW (Email, 4 Sep 2007) |
| 'I was supposed to do it YEARS ago. Never got around to it even though I had intended on doing it every winter. Winter seems to have an eerie feel to it. I can honestly say, I loved it. It was informative and very entertaining. I know several people who have been on it and they also had a lot of positive things to say about it. All you non-Victorians should get on the next flight and get on down here' - Jose, Haunted Australia TV investigator, Melbourne VIC (Haunted Australia review, 22 Aug, 2007) |
| 'I have personally been on (The Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour) and thought it very informative. Drew does a great job with history and theatrics. Very well worth the effort and cost' - Gary Sullivan, Haunted Australia TV Chief Investigator, Melbourne VIC (Haunted Australia review, 20 Jul, 2007) |
| 'Ghosts aside, the Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour is an entertaining way to learn more about our city's past and to give yourself an occasional fright at the same time' - Rohan Trollope, Melbourne VIC (What's On Melbourne, 6 Mar, 2006) |
| 'The one thing you don't want to do on a ghost tour is get behind because it's very scary. So scary that so far two people have had heart attacks - one before they even left the shop! Melbourne in all its ghostly glory ... take the tour if you dare' - Des Dowling, Melbourne VIC (Coxy's Big Break, 3 Apr, 2005) |
| 'Money very well spent! $20 can't get you much these days but if you want value for money (it went for over 2 hours) and a great experience you must do the Haunted ghost tour. It was not just a normal spook fest, I learnt so much about Melbourne's history. And what can I say about Drew the man who conducts the tour ... he deserves an Oscar. Go do it!!' - Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour review (Yahoo Travel Guide 8 Aug 2004) |
| 'Thank you a million times over for all your help, wonderful suggestions and enthusiasm in making Daniel and Karol's marriage proposal so fabulous. You were brilliant!' - Natasha, Drew, Paul and the Love Me, Love Me Not crew, Melbourne VIC (Letter, 3 May, 2002) |
| 'Believe or not, you are promised a fascinating night out. Whether you see anything or not, and a number of people say they have, you will be stimulated and well exercised (or should that be exorcised?)' - Bill O'Byrne, New Zealand (Dominion, 9 Feb, 2002) |
| 'A world-class ghost tour' - Ernie Dingo & the team, Melbourne VIC (The Great Outdoors, 23 Oct, 2001) |
| 'Were we freaked out? Oh yeah! An eerie silence fell over the group as we listened to tales of mass murder, suicide and horrific accidents. Needless to say, we got our money's worth' - Steve Gerlach, Richard Laymon Society, Melbourne VIC (Website review, 3 Mar, 2001) |
| 'Thankyou for participating in the Halloween ghost tour promotion with TTFM. The live crosses sounded terrific on air and our winners had a great time. ... (They) found the tour very interesting and even had some sightings!' - Gilly Hay, promotions co-ordinator, 101.1 TTFM, Melbourne VIC (Letter, 3 Nov, 2000) |
| 'It was amazing to hear so many new things about the history of my city. ... There were so many interesting stories and tales about Melbourne that I had no idea even existed' - Kelly, Melbourne VIC (Temple Of The Winds website review, 24 Jun, 2000) |
| '... As soon as I walked in there, I felt a bad presence, like there wasn't something nice in there ... at this stage (Drew) hadn't told the story ... I looked up towards the balcony and in the doorway I saw a man dressed in white carrying something ... I was at the front of the group and slowly made my way to the back of the group ... I ended up crying, because I had a wave of emotion sweep over me ... that really freaked me out ...' - Kellie, Adelaide SA (Castle Of The Spirits website review, Feb, 2000) |
| 'Our 'g-host' Drew Sinton was the ultimate haunted tour guide. No spooky moments were staged for our 12 person tour group. Rather, Drew walked us through paranormal history of various locations around the city. Our group of bachelors was mesmerised by the undead history of the city. If you are ever in Melbourne, Drew Sinton and his Haunted Melbourne Ghost Tour are out of this world and worth stopping by to see. I'd be scared not to go' - Dave Rockwell, Fairfax, Vancouver (Bad Rat website review, Nov, 1999) |
| 'The tour was great ... my total sceptic husband loved it the most (while) the kids were very keen to revisit (one of the haunted sites) and go back to the shop' - Julie Curran, Melbourne VIC (Letter, 11 Aug, 1999) |

| 'Everyone including myself thoroughly enjoyed the tour and wanted to thank you for giving them all such a wonderfully interesting time. All members of the State Library who were on that tour said that they have now been looking constantly over their shoulders and that the Library has a different feel to it now!' - Rowena Gilbert, Australian Ghost Hunters Society vice president and Castle of the Spirits website operator, Sydney NSW (Email, 20 May, 1999) |
| 'We thought you were great in accommodating to the dynamics of the group and did well in presenting a non-biased presentation. You were careful in maintaining neutrality - which showed your professionalism - by not imposing any of your own beliefs or spirituality on those on the tour.We certainly got to see some great and beautiful parts of Melbourne we never realised had existed before as well as learning quite a bit of history about the city. Getting us to walk through supposedly haunted sites on our own in the dark probably proved to be the most adrenalin pumping if not captivating aspect of the tour. I will have no hesitation commending your tours to those keen for an interesting and fun evening' - Andrew Hill, Melbourne University VIC (Letter, 2 May, 1999) |
| 'We just wanted to say a really big thank you for sharing some of the secrets of Melbourne with us. Having worked in the city for over 9 years, I doubt I will see some of those familiar places in the same light. Truly an incredible underworld we live in. It was also a great history lesson, and we shall both be recommending not only your bookshop, but the tour as well. Look forward to doing the State Library with you' - Vanessa & Graeme, Melbourne VIC (Email, 15 Apr, 1999) |
| 'Norma and I both admired the way you conducted the tour and how patient you were with the big group (22 Salvation Army members). It was amazing how many interesting places we saw - in the normal course of events you would never be able to see these places. It was so much fun and so unexpected' - Joy Napier, Melbourne VIC (Letter, 23 Feb, 1999) |
| 'I had the best time and learnt a heap about Melbourne I didn't know about. You certainly have a product to be very proud of in your Ghost Tour. I thought it was every bit as good as the one I did in New Orleans, better even because we didn't go inside anywhere there' - Margaret Gill, Melbourne VIC (Email, 10 Feb, 1999) |
