5.00We had an absolute crime of a good time on the Dark Stories Perth tour with the wonderfully wicked Nigel as our guide. From the very first murderous pun to the chilling final tale, we were hooked like a suspect in an interrogation room. Nigel spun Perth's dark past into a web of intrigue, scandal, and just the right amount of gallows humour. His storytelling was so good, it should be criminal! He had us dying of laughter one moment and on the edge of our seats the next. Every back alley and shadowy corner held secrets, and Nigel made sure none were left un-buried. The tour struck the perfect balance between creepy and comical – think CSI meets stand-up comedy. We learned all about Perth’s seedy side, with a dash of historical flavour and a sprinkle of spooky. And the puns? Oh, they were to die for. If you're looking for a night that's a little eerie, a lot entertaining, and full of killer stories – book this tour. You’ll walk away armed with knowledge and convicted of having a good time. Highly recommended – a real stab above the rest! 🔪 Luke and Vivi
Thanks Glenn!

5.00I recently participated in the true crime tour in Fremantle, guided by Glenn. The tour proved to be both informative and engaging, offering a compelling look into the city's darker historical narratives. Glenn's extensive knowledge and expertise made the tour particularly noteworthy; he presented complex and unsettling topics with a unique blend of insight and wit, ensuring they were accessible and engaging. His ability to balance the gravity of the subject matter with a lighter tone contributed to an enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in true crime or local history.

5.00This experience was wonderful, informative and fun. It gave an interesting view into the shady early criminal history of Perth in a fun and relaxed way. The stand-out was the puns thrown in for comedy. We highly recommend the three guys and their crime tour. Well done guys
