Definitely recommended for fans of Underbellly: Razor or the history of this amazing suburb in Sydney - Paige, was amazing. So much knowledge for a young one! Answered all our questions and was honest when she wasnt sure. (Which wasnt often!) The stories were amazing.. the streets and houses i'd never even noticed spending so much time in that area in my younger days. The pace was perfect, but make sure you wear comfy shoes. Amazing that all that went on less than 100 years ago! Definitely recommend, but hot tip make sure you've watched Underbelly:Razor or read up on the history to bring the stories to real life!

A Great Insight into Razor Gang Life - We met our RG Guide, Jack who set the scene for our Group of family and friends. We were allowed to walk at a comfortable pace as we had different levels of fitness. Some brought a purse size torch as some areas were quite dark and where we walked there were some uneven surfaces. Even the moon peeping through the clouds failed to cast any shadows. Having said that, listening to Jack relay the Razor Gang Stories along the prominent streets of that era, it gave us a sense of what life would have been like at night when Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh ruled the roost! Thoroughly enjoyed the stories about the Razor Gang era and also discovered a wonderful area to explore during the day. Beautiful art deco buildings along the way and I'm sure they have a story to tell as well. Jack our Guide was amazing, had a lot of historical knowledge to share and was very pleasant and accommodating for those of us who were a bit slow along the steeper part of the tour. Big Thanks to him for making the Tour a success. Make sure you wear comfy shoes as there are a few steep hills and stairs. Having a small torch to guide where you are walking is a must and also a small bottle of water to hydrate along the way. Highly recommend this Tour, it is well worth it!
