Hangman’s Hill spectral form in photo - Great tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Very interesting hearing about Sydney’s dark past. Took a photo on Hangman's hill next to the Observatory where the hangings took place. In the shot is a bloke looking at his phone. We realised later that there was a spectral form of legs and a head walking beside him. Strange that you can see right through the middle of the figure to the trees behind. The figure looks female with stockings and high heels. Reminded us of the ghastly stories of the working girls and the larrikins of the Push….

Must do this super fun tour! - Our tour guide arrived early, dressed in a black overcoat carrying a dark satchel! His presentation was interesting yet fun! Such a wonderful way to add to the ghostly tour. The tour was great. We went to places dark and dreary, just what we signed up for!

Craig was great! - I took my partner on the ghost tour. We had Craig as our tour guide. He was amazing. Very personable and his knowledge of the history of the area was 2nd to none. Highly recommended!

Easy walking, great stories. - The tour is 100% worth it. My guide was an incredible story teller, he even tried to nail a French accent during one story. He laughed at himself when it didn’t totally hit.

A good evening - Had a pleasent evening on this tour around the rocks. Our guide was very good and the information and stories about the areas was engaging. It is a lot of walking with hills, but definitely worth it.

It was okay - This is a hike up hills with a fast moving tour guide who doesn’t understand how quantum mechanics works.

2 hours long. Lots of... - 2 hours long. Lots of going up and down stairs. The guide knew his Sydney history and was very personable. He helped my wife across some rough spots in the street. . The “ghost” part of the tour was not very believable. We did see a rat and some cockroaches which wasn’t a surprise since the tour was a nighttime one. The tour ends at a bar where you are invited, but not pushed, to have a drink.
