True Crime Connoisseur must do! - A bit difficult to meet at the proper place as guide/street wasn’t clearly identified, but loved the quick wit and bad puns that Emily delivered throughout the tour. Very informative and intriguing history behind many of the sites at the Rock and old Sydney. Not suitable for mobility impaired as there are many stairs and a few steep sections, but overall a great way to spend a morning off the beaten tourist track. The nighttime tour would likely be just as fascinating!

Entertaining twilight Tour!! - We were lucky enough to book a twilight Dark Stories True Crime tour in Sydney last week. We had a small group of people but was a fun and entertaining tour from the start. Our guide, Jack was awesome from the very start. His knowledge of engaging stories was exceptional. We went as a family with two children 12 and 14 and he did a great job catering for their interests. It was a lovely walk through the streets learning at the same time. If you are looking for a fun activity to do with your kids that does not break the bank. Definitely an activity to do with the family.

Greedy and selfish and unprofessional and not refunded yet. - Awful experience. There was torrential downpour when tour was due to start. My child slipped on the way due to the rain and even with protection we were soaked. It should have been canceled and refunded but instead the company kept sending emails saying it was still on but their guide was running late - only another ten minutes… just wait another 5 minutes. Eventually after thinking we may have been scammed the guide turned up half an hour after the tour was due to start and an hour later than when she should have arrived. Many people standing around with nowhere to keep them dry while we waited. The drenched clothes and feet, lots of people, wet paths and roads in the dark and sound of rain made it too much to continue with the tour once the guide finally arrived. She said she was delayed because of an accident on road but that means the company knew her situation and the heavy rain and still expected it to go ahead. Not being local we didn’t know the weather could turn like that. They should have cancelled but all they did was keep encouraging us with email updates telling us to attend or swap our tickets for another night - which simply isn’t an option for most people who are visiting Sydney. So disappointed and angry with this company. I ( and many others ) were offered refund by the guide at the time by the guide but I have not had any communication or payment from the company. We should not have to turn up in those conditions to finally be offered a refund. It should have been offered sooner. Shame on this company.
