We had a great walking tour with Nicky on a beautiful balmy Adelaide evening- very informative, with Nicky's personal and professional knowledge adding to the experience. Very well organised, and Nicky kindly adjusted the route to suit us. A must- do in Adelaide for anyone with an interest in local high- profile criminal cases, and excellent value for money. Thanks again Nicky!

This guided walking tour by Niki was so interesting and fortunately for me I was the only on a 9am timeslot a few weeks ago! I was a solo traveller to Adelaide and really enjoyed hearing the history of Adelaide from a different lens and Niki was extremely knowledgable and would happily answer and discuss any questions I had. Highly recommend the tour!

I loved this tour. Nikki is the perfect guide, not only because she has professional experience and passion for the topic, but because she is a great storyteller. Informative and fun - hard to beat that. Whether you are a local curious about some of the darker elements of your home town or a visitor after a different perspective on Adelaide this is a perfect tour. I also appreciated that the tour ran despite me being the only one going. Fortunate for me, but Nikki deserves a bigger audience.

My friend and I bought tickets on a whim as we wanted something to do over Easter long weekend. I have lived in Adelaide for half my life, and my friend for all of hers, and yet we didn't know half of the grisly murders that have happened over the course of Adelaide's history. Genuinely interesting tour, with an expert guide!

It was a most fascinating and interesting 2 hour walking tour of Adelaide with an amazing forensic scientist guide, Nicky. We were supplied with a small goodie bag each, and the water was most appreciated as it was a hot day. We had moments where she stopped in some shade to talk to us. Absolutely fascinating talk about Adelaide’s murderers. Definitely worth it, if you are thinking of going, don’t think, just book it!

Fantastic tour, a really informative and interesting walk with a great host. Nicki was an amazing guide, a wealth of knowledge and a specialist in her field. The walk was a great way to see some of this beautiful city. Recommend this tour to anyone visiting Adelaide.

What an interesting tour, led by a real expert! I had expected this tour to be about only historical crimes but, to my surprise, many cases were recent or even ongoing/involving people who are still alive. This made the expertise of the guide, who has decades of experience in real cases, really important and valuable. We talked about a wide range of crimes, people and convictions and why they were significant and multi-faceted.
The guide has an excellent sense of humour and is very personable, which balances out the heaviness of the topic! I particularly enjoyed our interesting conversations about poisoning, fraud, and the big events which led to policy changes that have shaped the Australia of today.
(I also freaking loved the party bags we received upon arrival!)

How much walking is involved? I am not very fit. 2 hours of gentle walking would be fine. If it included rough terrain or hills it would be too difficult.
