The only ghost tour among the 298 Sydney tours we checked on GetYourGuide on 25 October 2026.

Ghost tours in The Rocks

The ghost walk runs in The Rocks, the old streets by the Harbour Bridge. It starts at 143 George Street.

Around Halloween, The Rocks also holds Ghost in The Rocks, with late markets. They run on Friday 30 October from 16:00 to 22:00, and on Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November from 10:00 to 22:00.

Lantern Ghost Tours

The listing names Lantern Ghost Tours as the operator. Its stories include vanishing sailors, the Woman in Black and the Rocks Push, a gang that once ruled the area.

What the haunted pub walk includes

The walk includes a local guide and visits to 3 haunted pubs, with access to an original cellar. One pub is said to be haunted by a pianist.

Drinks are not included, so bring money for the bar. The walk is about 2 km, with some uneven paths and stairs. It is for adults aged 18 and over.

Ghost tour reviews: what the rating tells you

The walk is rated 3.5 from 7 reviews on GetYourGuide. That is a small number, so one or two reviews move the score a lot.

We do not call it the best ghost tour. It is the only one we found to book online, and its free cancellation lowers the risk.

Make a night of it

Start with a Sydney cruise dinner from Circular Quay, then walk up to The Rocks for the pubs.
