Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Storytelling is a rare and special art that is sadly dissapearing these days. However Andrew kept us enthralled for the entire time with his historic tales and we'll appointed humour. Kids can be a tough crowd, but he kept them engaged throughout and their imaginations were stimulated well into the evening. Well worth your time.

We toured the Gothic Northern Cemetery, and Andrew did a great job. He is a born storyteller, and his knowledge of and love for Dunedin was evident throughout. The tour was a solid mixture of history and ghost stories--exactly the sort of thing I love. Oh, and when Andrew says wear sensible shoes, he means it!

This is now the top of my list for Must-Do's in Dunedin! A group of us decided to book, relatively last minute, for the Northern Cemetary tour. Andrew is such a fantastic host! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the cemetery as well as very entertaining with his stories.
I really recommend his tours! 10/10!

we really enjoyed the tour, lots of historical facts and scary sightings. we liked the fact that nothing jumped out or was contrived to scare us purposefully. I learnt so much about Dunedin despite living here for the last 15 years

I found the Hair Raiser Ghost Tour to be a really interesting opportunity to learn about Dunedin’s past from when it was the commercial hub of the Otago Gold Rush to more recent times. We learnt a lot about the history of buildings, locations and alleys and their interesting mysteries and stories.
Andrew, the tour leader, kept us engaged throughout and very knowledgeably informed us of the history of Dunedin and its former residents and visitors who had met untimely ends. If you would like to learn about the history of Dunedin, I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour.

This tour is a must to do in Dunedin! If you are interested in the local history + some spooky facts and stories, you will enjoy every minute of this tour with Andrew. He is a great tour guide + person with full of knowledge and passion for what he is doing. Also don't forget to grab a copy of his book "Dunedin is a ghost town" I live and work in Wellington and have quite a lot of friends/ colleagues originally from Dunedin and some of their experience back home at the specific places actually match what Andrew wrote in the book it's very creepy!!!

Great overall experience. Andrew was a great guide. We did the hair raiser ghost walk which had the perfect amount of history with a ghostly twist. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting dunedin.

We toured the Northern Cemetery and it was such a delight to have Andrew guiding us. He had such a great outlook and knowledge of ghosts and history and is an excellent story teller. It's clear he has a great passion for this work and he really made it a wonderful experience and an exciting night-time walk.

Fantastic tour. Great stories and lots of fun.
The tour is done at the pace of the group our ages ranged from 13 to 60 and there were no problems with keeping up. Very entertaining and we loved every minute and would do it again in a heartbeat. A must do!

We do a tour with our family every Christmas and have always enjoyed Andrew,s banter. He is a fountain of local knowledge and a great story teller with a wicked sense of humour. We highly recommend doing a tour with Andrew.
