Customer Reviews
Highly recommend an evening with Andrew, last night we joined him on his Hair Raiser Tour around Port Chalmers. Andrew is a fantastic story teller who weaves the past, present day and family stories. We got to learn so much more about Port Chalmers and some of its 'charming characters'!
I have been on a few of Andrew's tours in the last couple of years and they have always been the perfect mix of fascinating, creepy and surreal. Andrew is a wonderful guide, is very informative and always gives everyone a good laugh!! I am so excited for our next tour in a couple of weeks time 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Andrew our guide for the evening was exceptional and highly entertaining. Even though he has done the tour many times before, he made the experience enjoyable and unique, making us feel special. The stories and tales were fascinating and at times very creepy, but at the same time informative on the history of folks from Dunedin. We have done ghost tours before elsewhere in the world, but this one is slightly different and definitely worth doing.
