A must do! - The tour, brilliantly led by Katelyn, far exceeded our expectations as we explored, discovered and marvelled at Sydney’s criminal past in the iconic The Rocks precinct. Top notch work Katelyn - you kept your group engaged and entertained!

Ryan, the Crime Tour King - OMG Ryan was amazing! I was sceptical at first I would have a plausible experience but as soon as Ryan started the tour, it was full of facts, amazing story telling, puns, laughs, amazing vibes - the works. This man was destined to be a tour guide! This is one of the best activities I did during my stay in Sydney from Adelaide. I will be doing this again next time I visit Sydney!

Fun night with the Fabulous Ryan - A fabulous tour to do for something different & to get a great background on the history of The Rocks. My friend & I were a little lost finding the initial meeting place but our fabulous host Ryan called me to find out where we were & kindly guided us to the group. He had to call us twice - very much appreciated & going above & beyond to ensure we didn't miss out. Such a fun evening & Ryan's storytelling was full of interesting facts & lots of laughs.

Great Experience! - Ryan did an amazing job, he was engaging in his presentation and adaptable when the circumstances required. He is the most upbeat true crime tour guide I have ever had. Thank you for a great experience.

Jade is AMAZING - Jade is AMAZING at her job. She has a great sense of humour, her dark humour included. Also being involved in re-enactments of stories that happened was also fun. I know the group I was with was a bit hard to please and 3 groups left early even though there was 15 mins left, but Jade did her best to uplift the stiffs, so I do feel sorry for her in that regard as Jade has such a bubbly and happy nature. Again, Jade is AMAZING at her job and her story telling, and I do plan to go again in the near future. Thank you once again, Jade. 10/10

Interesting and fun tour with Jade - Jade was very knowledgeable and didn’t rush to each destination. Interesting and fun that she included you in a couple of re-enactments. Learnt a lot about the dark side of Sydney /The Rocks. Highly recommend to go on the tour with Jade and her lantern.

Lark in the Park with Stories that are Dark - Our host was Ryan and we absolutely loved him! He was super insightful with all the stories, and had such a great dry, dark sense of humour. It was just my mum and I on the tour, and it allowed for such a personalised telling of the stories. The stories were interesting, the puns were better, and the weather happened to be marvellous - just an all around excellent time.

Great night out in Sydney - Ryan who led the tour on the 6th April was superb and never faltered in his telling of any of the stories. He led us all over the Rocks and the funny jokes he would throw in at the end of a story lightened the mood from the terrible story itself. I can't speak more highly of the tour & this guide was brilliant!! Cheers for the interesting evening.
