A tour to be avoided. I was expecting a tour of the historic Rock area with a few ghost stories thrown in and possibly some interaction but none of it. The tour started in the Rocks and was presented by a guide who was obviously new and not very good. Very little historic information and not very intersting ghost stories.... More

My friends took me on this tour as a birthday present. It was great. James is entertaining and full of information. He also did a great job of looking after my pregnant friend throughout the whole 2 hours. I found the tour to be fun, funny and at times a little scary! Thank you James you were wonderful! More

I am not a believer in ghosts, so the stories were just a little drama added to being able to walk around the rocks at night and get an interesting history lesson. If you're expecting a real ghost, you will be disappointed, but it was an amusing tour and a fun evening out. More

This is a great way to get a different view on the oldest part of Sydney. They're walking tours and run at night time. The guides are good and obviously enjoy themselves. There are plenty of ghost stories told and you do go into places you otherwise might nit find. Not suitable for young kids. More

Did this tour as part of a Hen's night, so we obviously expected a mixture of interesting facts, hair-raising tales and general silliness. Apparently the organisers insisted that the group show up sober, so we had all assumed there would be drinking along the way. But no. And there was no way that the attention of a large group of...

I had a very enthusiastic guide, who I enjoyed. The “macabre” stories, however, were a tad on the dull side. The trip doesn’t feel special, as the majority is spent mixing with the general public. Still, if you’re not a cynic and you to chose to believe, then you might get a few goosebumps now and then. More

I went on a date night with my boyfriend, It was fun they hand out torches and ponchos for ill weather and some people get a candle lit lantern. The guide in wearing a undertakers costume. I found the tour more interesting than scary. No chills up my spine I think the biggest scare the group had was when my... More

I went on a ghost tour when visiting Sydney with a friend recently. It was the South tour. The tour was interesting and it was a pleasant walk. Maybe I am just not suited to ghost tours though, personality-wise. (I am just not that suggestible and easily scared/ sensitive to the paranormal) I felt that the experience would have been... More

I'm generally a fan of this type of tour where history meets atmosphere during a hair raising couple of hours of storytelling in dark alleyways usually culminating in a “jumper outer” when you least expect it. The Rocks at least provides an authentic setting for a ghostly tale or two and our guide looked the part in his long black... More

This was a great way to see some otherwise hidden areas of the Rocks. It is pretty creepy at night. Our guide Maxine was very Knowlegable about the history of this first settlement area of Australia. More
