5.00Chloe was our tour guide and she did such a good job setting the mood, telling the stories and leading our group through the old neighborhoods of Sydney with a dark past. We know many of the true crime stories from USA but none from Australia so this was a must-do for us.
Awesome Experience

5.00Had an awesome Tour with Emily last night who was super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of 10/10 spooky stories. Thanks for an amazing evening, and I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cool evening exploring and some awesome history of the Rocks. Came for the true crime, stayed for the world class puns and dad jokes.
Wonderful tour. Highly recommend
