What to expect
Expect a steady walk over uneven terrain with significant elevation changes up hillsides—moderate fitness needed. Jack Sim guides you through thousands of graves, crypts and tombs whilst recounting verified stories tied to specific burials. The tour balances documented history with local lore; you're hearing accounts backed by research rather than purely fictional scares. Two hours covers key sites across the cemetery's sprawling grounds. Bring a torch (phone app works) and wear flat enclosed shoes—thongs, sandals and heels aren't permitted.
