    Overview
    Come, if you dare, on a night-time stroll through the haunted corners of Sydney that contain mysteries with a supernatural twist. Your informative guide leads you on a 1.5-hour walking tour around The Rocks district, the site where Sydney was founded and a place full of spine-tingling stories and legendary ghosts. Historical events hold the keys to some of the paranormal phenomena, which include hauntings and ghost sightings that your guide explains in fascinating detail.
    What to Expect
    After meeting your guide in The Rocks, starts your ghoulish walk in the mists of time, when this neighborhood was home to sailors, prostitutes, sly-grog shops (where cheap liquor was sold illegally), opium dens and many nefarious characters. Notorious gangs such as the Rocks Push and the Razor double-crossed their victims and rivals, sometimes going as far as murder. Hear the tales of unfortunate souls whose ghosts are rumored to roam the streets as your guide leads you through their spooky stories and former haunts.

    As you walk through the darkened streets, your guide reveals theories about lingering mysteries and unsolved murders that have perplexed investigators for decades. Discover how sites such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Susannah Place, Dawes Point, Atherden Street and the Orient Hotel are connected to one another through these tales.

    Expect to stroll at a leisurely pace for about one mile (1.6 km) during your tour, with frequent stops for photo ops. After an eerie evening of ghost tales and possibly some sightings, your tour ends when your guide returns you to your starting point.

    Walk OK guide excrutiatingly boring

    The walk itself was OK with a quick -paced stroll around the upper area of The Rocks. Not a good idea for those using a cane or slow walkers as there were a lot of steps. Guide was boring, stories were delivered in monotone with...More

    Dreadful Don’t do it

    I went on this tour with 4 friends. Two were from overseas. The tour said to meet at 8pm. At 8:03 there were 4 people who were late. Well didn’t the tour guide ream them out. Highly unnecessary. Then another poor girl by herself was...More

    Much much fun

    I have to say the guide and his narrative made this tour 100% worth it. We visited a couple historical spooky venues in The Rocks. Luckily we did not experience any paranormal activity. As the guide said, BELIEVING makes the whole thing much more fun....More

    Ghost tour lacking spirit.

    I attended the 8pm tour on Saturday the 5th of May and was extremely disappointed. Our tour guide, for starters, did not tell us his name. At every single stop along the way, he spoke as though he was reading a poorly written script, pausing...More
