Great tour! Really recommend!! - I really enjoyed this tour! The stories we were told were so interesting, and they were made even better by the way our guide told them. I also really liked that we got se see new places we might not have seen without the tour. Like hidden alleyways and paths. And the view of the city when it’s dark was amazing!!

10/10 would recommend - This was such a cool way to explore the rocks! I would highly recommend this tour to anybody who is interested in true crime. This is a truly unique way to see the city. Our tour guide was Chloe I believe, and her puns added some humor to the darkness that was told; I appreciated that :)

Dark, Engaging and Intriguing - a tour for tourists and locals - Booked this as a local and glad I did! I learned so much about my own backyard and won’t be able to walk around The Rocks without thinking of what was shared. Ryan was outgoing, incredibly knowledgeable and respectful. He displayed courtesy and genuine respect surrounding topics. Even as a teacher with over a decade of teaching experience, I walked away learning a lot about history but also how to engage/captivate an audience. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
