Great SydneyTrue Crimes Tour! - This tour was fun, informative, intriguing and a good walkaround as our guide Emily led us through the Rocks and the surrounding areas telling us dark tales that happened throughout the years. Emily is a great storyteller, very animated and full of great jokes that went along with the stories that she told. She took us to some memorable places (Gallows Hill) and we admired the hilltop views of the lit up harbour and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this tour, especially people who enjoy true crime stories!

Fun night walking tour - We did this as a night tour starting 7.30pm. Our guide was fun and spoke clearly and loudly so we could all hear her. Her personality shone through.

Enlightening tour - We very much enjoyed the tour, the guide was well spoken and informative. Little more walking than we expected but not too hard. We thought that it would have been more suspenseful. Overall good thing to do. Learnt lots about the rocks and its past. Thanks Team
